It's the Friday news roundup! Kamala Harris made her pick for vice president and it's not our governor. We're talking about what's next for Josh Shapiro – plus what to make of JD Vance's first campaign stop in Pennsylvania – with Kim Lyons, editor of the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. We also check in on a Pittsburgh-based company that's raising millions to launch driverless trucks in Texas, and ask whether Neftlix's Unsolved Mysteries reboot could help solve a Beaver County cold case. We always cite our sources: Gov. Josh Shapiro warmed up the crowd at Kamala Harris' rally in Philly on Tuesday, before she and her running mate Tim Walz took the stage together for the first time. Some reporting suggests Harris had better chemistry with Walz than Shapiro during their meetings last weekend. JD Vance also held a rally in Philly on Tuesday – it was his first campaign stop in Pennsylvania since he became Donald Trump's running mate. Aurora Innovation raised $483 million to launch a self-driving truck route between Dallas and Houston – the company, which is headquartered in Pittsburgh, initially asked for $350 million. Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries reboot is highlighting a Beaver County cold case from 2014.

Voice - the medium on which this and so many other types of content depend. It has the power to soothe and anger, sway and shame, enrapture and condemn. Also sometimes it causes ASMR, along with some like... crinkly plastic? Unfortunately for you, dear listeners, this episode only briefly delves into mukbang territory. This is "Voice" - we hope you enjoy! In this episode - Giovanni does his best Bubsy impression. David tells you about his favorite store on the citadel. Tess has a hard time saying colors.

We talk a lot about digital identity on The Decentralists. What is Identity? What makes Identity self-sovereign? Why is decentralized identity better than centralized like that offered by Single Sign-On? This week we talk about another important risk of centralized identity, the linking of personally identifiable data (PII). To put this important issue in context we have a couple of interesting examples in the news just this week Brian Barrett from WIRED reported on new dangers resulting from a breach of up to 100 Million user records at T-Mobile. Kim Lyons from The Verge reported that Tinder is going to start offering Identity verification to all it's users.

Kim Lyons describes domestic abuse as emotional terrorism and says what we all know to be true: If you haven’t lived it, you just don’t get it!  Thrivers are a sorority of sisterhood.

You know her as a star trainer on ‘The Biggest Loser’, founder of the Bionic Body brand (sold nationwide including in Target), and an all-around famous fitness inspiration. But did you know that Kim Lyons’ secret to success was… failure? Yes. On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio, she shares the REAL story of how she went from flight school(!) graduate to personal trainer to NBC primetime and then creator of her own destiny with her own brand and mission. I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable conversations I’ve had on #GlambitionRadio, because Kim didn’t hesitate to share the things we REALLY want to know… like how the Biggest Loser opportunity happened, what it was truly like, how she felt when she wasn’t asked back for a third season, what made her decide to create her own line of products (her answer may surprise you), and how she’s feeling more excited than ever at age 45… breaking into the true destiny of her career and brand. The post Kim Lyons, Celebrity Trainer + Founder of Bionic Body — Glambition Radio Episode 146 with Ali Brown appeared first on Ali Brown - the world's most recognized business coach for women entrepreneurs, leadership, speaker, and founder of The Trust..

Thanks to Chris Whitlatch for sharing a new VR arcade (in Seattle) for this week's discussion. While Sorg was in Nebraska, he learned he can check a VR unit out of the school library. Hmm. Katie is sharing some snapmap information for us. Snapmap can also help you figure out where everyone is with hot spot mapping options. Instagram has location features similar to snapmap. Kim brings us back to Pittsburgh with CMU initiatives for AI (because kids are smarter than we are). We just figured out that CMU will be Skynet. Uber - When Lyft isn't an option... Does anything come out of MIT these days? Seems like all the cool kids are at CMU. Star Wars trailer for The Last Jedi made on a 1984 Apple IIC. Katie is closing out the show with porn again this week: the first standalone VR unit - that only plays porn. Will you be in Pittsburgh this weekend? It's Anthrocon 2017 time! (We're so excited!) Are you a musician? We'd love to talk updating our theme. Bonus points if you do it Mystery Science Theater style.

Possibly one of the most interesting journalist's I have met, Kim lyons sits with me to chat about all things you would never think we would chat about.  Writing and journalism are for sure some of those things, and I also wanted to know what a typical day for her would entail.  In my mind, I watch a movie about journalists, and it is either glitz, glam, or extremely seedy.  I wanted to see what her experience was, what she thought of her work, and what is up next for her.  We chat about her interview with Barak Obama, (Yes, you read that right), working in Boston, vacationing in Cuba (our end goal), Pittsburgh six degrees of separation, non sports related subjects, stake outs, real estate in Pgh, and wishful super powers that we wished we had which always makes me happy. If you missed Kim's article about female podcasters in NEXTPittsburgh check it out here featuring yours truly!  Also stay tuned for her upcoming podcast collaboration with our gal, Natalie Bencivenga called The Broadcast!!  Support local Pgh peeps, because we rule!

Hey all! Welcome to this very special quick pop up interview I got to have with the one and only Alec Baldwin. I am a huge fan of his work, so I can pretty much scratch this off of my bucket list #882. Alec was in Pittsburgh for his show Alec's Playlist at the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. It was a great event, with perfectly performed pieces.  My favorite was the music from The Shining, that was so hauntingly put together.  The Hilaria & Alec Baldwin Foundation donated 300 tickets to families and their children, giving them a chance to hear this beautiful symphony.  Growing up in a musical family that exposed me to the classics was very important in my life, and shaped who I am today.  I love what his foundation is doing to help get this music into the lives of the youth.  Kudos.  Thank you Mr. Baldwin for your time, and if you are reading this, come back on the show! Sorry about the audio background noise, it was a little loud in the room because everyone was so excited. Special thanks to my hubby Phil Mazzoni for snapping these photos.  If you subscribe to my newsletter you will get to see the rest of the shots. Marta On The Move is sponsored by Levity Pgh.  All listeners get $5 off their floats with code "Marta". Come see MOTM LIVE at City Theatre on May 12th!  I will be onstage after the opening performance of The Lion.  I will be off stage afterwards hanging out as well, so come say hello!  Would love to meet some of my fans.  Friends of MOTM get tickets for just $20 to both the show and the live podcast after the show with promo code "MARTAROARS"  Grab your tickets at www.citytheatrecompany.org Also stoked to annouce I got my first publish in the Huffington Post!  Woot! Check it out! Enjoy everyone! I have Ayne Terciera, John Schalcosky, Dana Cannone, Kim Lyons, and Phil and I's Portuguese odyssey coming up!  Cheers!

Today is the 40th anniversary of the resignation of President Nixon.

In this chat we discuss ethics in journalism, the politics around the distribution of information, Pittsburgh versus Boston, and the latest news about ride sharing.
