What does it take to photograph elite athletes pushing their bodies to the point of collapse, or freeze the motion of cars hurtling by at speeds that blur the line between control and catastrophe? Two of our favorite recent podcasts went deep inside those worlds: one with Phil Penman and Kristof Ramon on the brutal beauty of competitive cycling, and the other with Camden Thrasher and Jamey Price on the relentless sensory overload that comes with photographing motor sports. While our video podcast studio gets its finishing touches, we're revisiting our archive for an encore that pairs the best of both sports—from the many stages of suffering baked into professional cycling to the wild mix of visual stimulation and sleep deprivation that comes with shooting a 24-hour endurance race.

Guest Bios: British-born, New York-based photographer Phil Penman has documented the ever-changing scene of New York City's streets for more than 25 years. and he has quite a bit of experience in the world of professional cycling himself. In his career as a news and magazine photographer, Phil has photographed major public figures and historical events. His reportage following the 9/11 terrorist attack was featured in major print publications and media broadcasts worldwide, and his work covering New York City's pandemic lockdown is in the collection of the U.S. Library of Congress. In addition to exhibiting at Leica galleries in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and London, Phil's signature street photography has appeared in international exhibitions as far afield as Venice, Berlin, and Sydney. He also tours the world teaching photo workshops for Leica Akademie. Phil's books, "Street" published in 2019, and "New York Street Diaries" published in 2023 both became best-sellers and have been featured at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Kristof Ramon is a pro-cycling photographer who covers some of the world's most prestigious races, including the Tour de France, the Giro d' Italia, the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. Born and raised in Belgium, Kristof discovered photography while attending film school at age 19. He eventually followed his passion for cycling and photography and has focused exclusively on this sport since 2011. Working under the name Kramon, his talent for storytelling and his ability to capture the atmosphere and raw emotion of racing makes his images stand out from typical race photography. Kristof's reputation has earned him the respect and trust of many of the biggest racing teams and riders - which is why he's able to capture such extraordinary in-between moments and behind-the-scenes images. The riders are always his primary focus, as evidenced in his close-up portraits of racers caked in sweat, mud, dust, snow, and grime. Kristof's first book, The Art of Suffering, was released in June 2024 by Laurence King Publishing. Camden Thrasher is a motor sports photographer with a distinctive ability to capture unique scenes of fast action. Growing up in Vancouver, Washington, it was the sound of engines from a nearby racetrack that first drew him to motor sports. After becoming a fixture at the track with his camera during high school, Camden studied automotive design and engineering in college, expecting to work as an engineer or on a pit crew. But the money he was making as a side hustle with his camera convinced him to stick with photography, and he hasn't looked back since. Using a unique slow shutter speed method, perfected over many exposures, Camden revels in showcasing the abstract qualities of gleaming metal, bright lights, and dynamic action that are hallmarks of this sport. Now based out of Atlanta, Georgia, Camden's work has been commissioned by top racing teams and featured in a wide range of media, from print magazines to automotive branding campaigns. Jamey Price is an automotive photographer based in Charlotte, North Carolina, whose motor sports work has taken him to more than 25 countries, and across most of the continental US. Jamey's photography career began while he was competing as a thoroughbred horse racing jockey and exercise rider. During this time, he completed more than 50 races, notching 11 wins in the saddle. His life in horse racing was eventually compiled into the self-published book Chasing: Racing Life in England & Ireland. Yet, in 2011, Jamey's photography career switched from horses to horse-power. Since he began chasing race cars, his images have been published worldwide in magazines, distributed by sports imagery wire services, and featured by top commercial clients. Additionally, Jamey is a LEXAR Elite Artist, since 2014.

The New York Times just printed a claim that Israeli prison guards trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. The byline read that Nicholas Kristof was "reporting." As in: these are facts. They aren't. No evidence. No credible sources. Just allegations from a Hamas-linked organization and a George Soros-funded group with a documented history of false claims against Israel. Now Prime Minister Netanyahu is suing the Times for libel. The American Jewish Committee calls it modern blood libel. And one Palestinian writer says even Kristof's own sources can't be trusted. This is what antisemitism looks like in 2026. Thank you to our sponsor: Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase.

In deze aflevering schuiven we eerst aan bij scenarist Kristof Berte, die in korte tijd opvallend aanwezig is in het Nederlandstalige striplandschap. Deze maand alleen al verschijnen drie nieuwe albums van zijn hand: het derde deel van De Bergenvaarders (De Beenhouwersopstand), een nieuw Jommeke-verhaal (De bron van de jeugd) en Cross Road Blues, het derde deel van De Helden van Amoras.Daarna verleggen we de focus naar een onderwerp dat steeds luider klinkt in de stripwereld: artificiële intelligentie. Wat betekent AI voor het maakproces van een strip?

When you immigrate to the United States from a former communist country, your point of view about opportunity is different. Kristof's first visit to the US was to New York and he thought it was all like that. As a Top high school decathlete in Poland, he had the chance to come to the United States and he chose Wichita USA. As an outstanding athlete for the Wichita State Shockers, he soon wanted to apply his dedication and capabilities to the business world. Many of us in the US take for granted our opportunities. Chief Credit Officer of Equity Bank, Kristof Slupkowski shares in our conversation how difficult it is to legally immigrate so that you can take advantage of the wonderful opportunities in the land of the free. He is an outstanding disciplined human being, and I am grateful to share his story.
Josh Szeps joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about Israel, Gaza, antisemitism, Zionism, Jewish identity and why the debate has become so exhausting and distorted. We talk about whether Jews outside Israel are being forced to answer for the Israeli government, what anti-Zionism really means, the failure of the peace process, Netanyahu, Gaza, drones, Palestinian leadership, the pressure to “circle the wagons,” and whether it is possible to criticize Israel without giving ammunition to people who hate Jews. Josh Szeps hosts one of the biggest shows on Substack, Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps, where he has funny, bullshit-free conversations with people like Sam Harris, Jimmy Carr, Bari Weiss and Mark Normand about subjects that the mainstream media fails to discuss honestly. He has been on Joe Rogan's show seven times, he was a founding host of HuffPost Live in New York, then went on to get cancelled from his own top-rating talk radio show on Australia's national public broadcaster.

“We're anti-rape. The horrific abuse inflicted on Israeli women on Oct. 7 now happens to Palestinians day after day after day,” says Nicholas Kristof, an opinion writer with The New York Times. This month, Kristof published a piece titled “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” where he alleges that the Israeli military used dogs to rape inmates. That is the biggest blood libel and slur against the Jewish people that I've ever heard. And yet, The New York Times, which always brags about fact-checking, didn't fact-check it at all, Victor Davis Hanson argues on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
In deze aflevering blikt Jochen Vankerckhoven terug op een opmerkelijk parcours: van advocaat via de bedrijfswereld naar mede-oprichter van Alongsight, een niche consultancykantoor dat bedrijven begeleidt bij internationale handel. Zijn klanten zitten met complexe vraagstukken rond sancties, vergunningen, tarieven en geopolitieke spanningen — zeker in sectoren zoals defensie is die kennis essentieel. Alongsight groeide in amper twee jaar tijd naar zestien medewerkers, grotendeels op eigen middelen. Zijn sprong naar ondernemerschap was geen uitgewerkt plan. Na zijn vaderschapsverlof stapte hij rechtstreeks het kantoor van de CEO binnen om te zeggen dat hij niet meer terugkwam. Hij had geen klant en vroeg dus meteen of diezelfde CEO niet zijn eerste klant wilde zijn. Die directheid tekent de toon van dit gesprek: buikgevoel, lef en heldere keuzes. Maar Jochen deelt ook ruiterlijk welke lessen hij moeilijk leerde. Expertise alleen is geen businessmodel. Hyperspecialisatie kan je de slimste mens in een lege kamer maken, waarbij klanten zelfs niet meer begrijpen wat je voor hen kunt betekenen. Het kantelpunt kwam toen hij in contact werd gebracht met Kristof, een collega met dezelfde expertise maar een andere achtergrond. Van solo-expert werd hij deel van een partnership, en dat veranderde alles. Tegelijkertijd speelde timing een rol: drie weken na Jochens start als zelfstandige viel Rusland Oekraïne binnen, waardoor sancties plots wereldnieuws werden. Cynisch misschien, maar de realiteit van ondernemen: markten bewegen, en wie goed geplaatst zit, kan mee schakelen. Jochen vertelt ook over zijn verleden als bijna-profwielrenner, en hoe die individuele sport binnen een teamcontext hem leerde elkaar iets gunnen en weten wanneer een ander op kop moet rijden. Hij reflecteert over people management, de impact van AI op consultancy en advocatuur, en waarom hij zich liever niet laat vastpinnen op groeidoelen in cijfers. Zijn definitie van CEO van je leven is duidelijk: verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor je keuzes — professioneel én thuis — en dan het engagement tonen om er iets waardevols van te maken.

Journalist Haviv Rettig Gur joins Noam to respond to Nicholas Kristof's New York Times column alleging sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees by Israeli forces. They examine the sourcing, the suspicious timing relative to a major Hamas sexual violence report, and ask the hardest question: how do Jews stay morally serious about real problems within Israeli society when the world holds them to a standard applied to no one else?

Biotech entrepreneur and producer of The Voice of Hind Rajab, Rami Elghandour, was scheduled to speak at his alma mater, Rutgers University, but two weeks before graduation his appearance was canceled -- apparently due to complaints from a small number of students on campus. Though never given a clear explanation, some have pointed to Israel-critical social media posts relating to Nicholas Kristof's viral op-ed about IDF rape culture as the reason. In other words, he was targeted for anti-Zionist speech. Rami joins Bad Faith to discuss what happened, the fall out from the Kristof piece, and the future of the party politics post-Gaza.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US reporter Luke Tress joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following Thursday's demonstration at The New York Times building regarding the Nicholas Kristof column about alleged systematic sexual abuse of Palestinian inmates in Israel, Tress notes that protestors discussed concerns about slanted coverage that can instigate violence against Jews or Israel-related targets. As New York's New School student government tries to defund its local Hillel chapter, accusing it of violent international crimes following recent student trips to Israel, Tress discusses the dispute and the trend toward colleges attempting to exclude chapters of the international Jewish student organization. An anti-Israel protest held in Midwood, a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, showed the ability to get more personal and ugly than those held at public spaces, reports Tress. The presence of swastika graffiti has become more prevalent around New York City, notes Tress, and comes from both the far left, who want to demonize Israel and from far-right pro-Nazi movements. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

As criticism of Israel mounts over its wars on Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, along with the escalating settler violence in the occupied West Bank, the country is ramping up its PR offensive. From a carefully managed appearance of Benjamin Netanyahu on CBS's 60 Minutes to a major expansion of Israel's Hasbara operation, the push includes pouring money into digital campaigns and media messaging. The goal is to reverse the collapse of public support for Israel, especially in the US, but no amount of spin can make audiences unsee what they have watched in real time. Contributors: Miriyam Aouragh - Professor of digital anthropology, University of Westminster Matt Lieb - Host, Bad Hasbara podcast Emily Schrader - Journalist, ILTV News Oren Ziv - Reporter, Local Call On our radar Israeli officials have dismissed a recent New York Times report on sexual violence against Palestinians as “blood libel”. But while the government denounces the allegations, many of the claims in the report have been openly discussed in the Israeli media. Nicholas Muirhead reports. Zaragoza Data Farms The generative AI boom is prompting a global race to build vast, energy-hungry data centres. In Spain's Aragon region, authorities have welcomed tech giants and the jobs, investment and digital transformation they claim to bring. But behind the glossy narrative lies a different reality - one in which enormous facilities consume natural resources and exploit legal loopholes, often at the expense of the communities that live alongside them. Featuring: Alonso Llorente - Journalist, Arainfo Pablo Jimenez Arandia - Investigative reporter Mar Vaquero - Vice president, Aragon Minister of Economy, Employment & Industry
Matt Risinger welcomes Kristof Irwin of Positive Energy for a deep discussion on the relationship between HVAC design, moisture management, and high-performance construction. Irwin explains how modern homes require a systems-based approach, where airtight enclosures, ventilation, and properly sized mechanical equipment all work together to improve comfort and indoor air quality. The conversation also covers humidity control, energy modeling, and the growing need for testing and verification as building standards evolve. Matt and Kristof discuss how builders, architects, and HVAC professionals coordinate early in the design phase to avoid performance issues later in construction.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, join host diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. The New York Times printed a bombshell accusation against Israel this week. An op-ed by columnist Nicholas Kristof alleged widespread sexual abuse and rape against Palestinian prisoners. The column alleged “a pattern of widespread Israeli sexual violence against men, women and even children — by soldiers, settlers, interrogators in the Shin Bet internal security agency and, above all, prison guards.” Palestinians quoted in the piece said they’d even been mounted and raped by specially trained dogs. Israel called the article “one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel," and promised to sue the NYT. Some of the more extreme claims seem highly unlikely, to say the least, but could a group of guards -- or a prison commander -- be abusing prisoners in violation of the law? Israel's Prison Service is not a well-understood security organization, as bodies like the IDF, the Shin Bet, Mossad, and police garner far more attention. But IPS holds thousands of hardened terrorists from groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and is an important part of the fight against those organizations. To better understand the IPS, its oversight, and how prisoners are treated, we speak to Col. Dakar Eilat, who ran two prisons in Israel. He explains the changes in the prison service's approach to terrorist prisoners that took place two decades ago, removing their ability to order terror attacks from inside prison, and then again after the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks. There is no question that after October 7, conditions for terrorists have been reduced to the minimum required by law, he says. But guards can't do whatever they want. Everything that happens in prison is recorded by cameras, says Eilat, with footage then sent to prison service headquarters. Eilat shares some of his personal experiences as a prison commander and the use of force. He says that one of his predecessors had been caught using illegal force on prisoners, and the prison commissioner brought him in to end the phenomenon. That doesn't mean that prisoners were treated lightly. There were strip searches of prisoners, and if they resist with force, "they will be met with force," says Eilat. Still, there are multiple oversight mechanisms, he says. Some 130 organizations -- both Israeli and international -- carry out inspections and oversight of prisons, and during some weeks, he had 5 snap inspections of his prisons. As for the NYT allegations, he calls them "bullsh*t". He says that -- beyond the cameras -- doctors in prisons have an independent chain of command and reporting mechanism, and they would catch signs of abuse. Dog training is overseen by animal rights groups, and official investigations of the prison service are carried out by the Justice Ministry and the police. Covering up systematic abuse like that described in the Kristof piece would take hundreds of conspirators, says Eilat. Lazar Focus can be found on all podcast platforms.

Subscribe to Inside Call me Back. ____ Subscribe to Ark News Daily ____ Content warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual violence How do unverified claims become a New York Times column? On Monday, the New York Times published an opinion column by Nicholas Kristof titled "The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians" — an explicit attempt to draw a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel by alleging that both equally engage in systematic sexual violence. The piece, based on interviews with 14 unnamed Palestinians, cited a Geneva-based NGO calling Israeli sexual abuse a "standard operating procedure" and described, among other things, trained dogs used to sexually assault prisoners. Kristof quoted former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appearing to validate the charges - but Olmert subsequently issued a statement clarifying that he did not, in fact, confirm the column's most serious claims, including that Israeli authorities directed the rape of children or that systematic sexual torture is state policy. The morning after Kristof's column appeared, an Israeli civil commission released a 300-page report - built on more than 10,000 photographs, thousands of hours of video, and over 400 testimonies - concluding that Hamas's sexual violence on October 7th was systematic, widespread, and deliberate. The New York Times, which had been told the report was coming months in advance, published it nearly 24 hours after running Kristof's op-ed. Reporters who spent the day going through Kristof's column claim by claim found it largely unverifiable - no dates, no locations, no names - recycled from dubious sources and in many cases almost certainly false. The deeper question this episode asks is not simply whether the column is fair, but how something like it gets published in the paper of record at all: what is the pipeline, from NGO to press release to Pulitzer Prize winner's byline, that turns unverified claims into fact? And why does that pipeline flow so reliably in one direction? To answer that, Dan is joined by Matti Friedman, a former AP reporter and editor in Jerusalem, and author of the 2014 Atlantic essay "What the Media Gets Wrong About Israel" - who has spent years documenting the specific mechanisms by which NGOs hostile to Israel have shaped, and in some cases dictated, Western coverage of this conflict. In this episode: - What Kristof's column alleged - Which claims are documented, unverifiable, or implausible - How NGO claims become mainstream coverage - Euro-Med, activist sourcing, and the New York Times - Matti Friedman's warning about Western media - The October 7th sexual violence report and the timing problem - The moral equivalence at the heart of the piece - The cost to Israel This episode was sponsored by Birthright: Invest in the Jewish future today at onetripchangeseverything.com.

Peter Savodnik joins us to talk about Nicholas Kristof's column alleging abuse of Palestinian prisoners, including the most extreme dog-rape allegation, and how pro-Israel people should respond when the reporting is weak but the underlying issue may still deserve investigation. We talk about the difference between bad journalism and false accusations, the danger of reflexively circling the wagons, Ben-Gvir and the Israeli prison system, antisemitism, double standards against Israel, whether Jews are being pushed back into history, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Gavin Newsom, Jonathan Haidt, Twitter addiction, and the general collapse of everyone's sanity online. Peter Savodnik reported for The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, The Guardian, GQ, Wired and other venues from the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, Asia and across the United States. His book, The Interloper: Lee Harvey Oswald Inside the Soviet Union, was published in 2013 by Basic Books.

Submit media fails you see, and get facts, links, images and more at TheyStandCorrected.substack.com. Celebrate and support the fight for truth by becoming a Founding Member. A new bill of global importance has become a law. It could set a template for the entire country. Around the world, anti-democratic nations are watching this, because they know it’s a strike against one of their big goals: influencing the minds of American children. Today, Josh is joined by a woman who led the effort to expose foreign influence over what's taught in U.S. schools. Inspired by proof of Qatar's propaganda efforts, State Rep. Esther Panitch, a Georgia Democrat, spearheaded legislation to make her state the first to require a new kind of reporting. When she drew attention to the issue, the top Qatari officials in the United States went after her publicly — and then also went after another Jewish woman, saying they were doing “what people like you always do.” Also, a new report is out, detailing horrific sexual violence carried out by Gazan terrorists. Even CNN took a break from parroting Hamas talking points to report on it. But the New York Times apparently turned down a chance to report on it in advance. Worse, the paper tried to get out ahead of it by running a propaganda-filled opinion piece from Nicholas Kristof. Josh takes us through Kristof's history of getting big things wrong, including in a failed run for governor of Oregon. “A guy who doesn’t look for facts and then tries so hard to deny them — this is who the Times entrusts to run with the most incendiary allegations you can make against Israel,” Josh explains.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they dig into the heinous allegations against Israel by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff, Biden Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas regretting not acting sooner to secure the border, California Democrat Xavier Becerra's pathetic plea for only a few tough questions from the media, and more.First, Charlie and Greg slam Kristof's column accusing Israel of horrific abuses against Palestinian prisoners, including claims involving trained dogs. They contrast those allegations with newly detailed reports documenting the brutal atrocities committed by Hamas during the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks on Israel.Next, they roll their eyes as former DHS Sec. Mayorkas admits the Biden administration should have acted sooner to control the border. But he still ultimately blames Congress and says he is very proud of the executive orders Biden issued in the summer of 2024 to reduce the chaos. Charlie shreds Mayorkas' argument and explains how the border crisis was intentional.Then, they laugh at California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra asking a reporter to limit the number of difficult questions. Charlie explains why the moment perfectly captures the modern left's expectations of media coverage.Finally, they react to the winner of the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Nebraska planning to drop out of the race and endorse the "independent" candidate.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Novantatré voti su novantatré. Lunedì 11 maggio la Knesset ha approvato un tribunale speciale autorizzato a comminare la pena di morte ai palestinesi condannati per l'attacco del 7 ottobre 2023. Lo riporta l'Associated Press. I processi saranno trasmessi in diretta. Il paragone con il processo del 1962 al criminale nazista Adolf Eichmann lo fanno gli stessi proponenti. Tre organizzazioni israeliane per i diritti umani — il Centro per la difesa dell'individuo, il Centro legale Adalah e il Comitato pubblico contro la tortura — in una nota dell'11 maggio definiscono la legge «uno spettacolo punitivo e retributivo» che subordina «ogni principio di giustizia penale equa». Le sentenze potranno essere pronunciate a maggioranza. Lo stesso giorno il New York Times pubblica l'inchiesta di Nicholas Kristof, "The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians": quattordici testimoni descrivono stupri e abusi sessuali sistemici nelle carceri israeliane. Tre di loro minorenni. Risposta del ministero degli Esteri israeliano: «calunnia del sangue». Secondo il Comitato pubblico contro la tortura, Israele detiene oggi 1.300 palestinesi di Gaza senza accusa formale. La rima Eichmann vale per ciò che la legge mostra. Ciò che la legge non mostra resta fuori inquadratura: i detenuti senza accusa, le testimonianze di Kristof, le condizioni del dottor Hussam Abu Safiya, direttore dell'ospedale Kamal Adwan, detenuto dal 27 dicembre 2024 e descritto «quasi irriconoscibile» da tre prigionieri rilasciati. A Marmaris cinquantasette imbarcazioni della Global Sumud Flotilla si sono riunite l'11 maggio in assemblea per decidere se ripartire. Saif Abukeshek e Thiago Ávila, liberati dopo dieci giorni di detenzione, ricordano che restano dentro 9.500 palestinesi. Nessuno di loro avrà un processo in diretta. A Marmaris la Global Sumud Flotilla ha chiuso ieri l'assemblea internazionale; Saif Abukeshek e Thiago Ávila, espulsi domenica da Israele come «provocatori professionisti», sono il primo fronte. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

What if your reactivity isn't a failure… but a pattern your nervous system learned to keep you safe? In this powerful conversation, Wendy sits down with applied neurology and somatic practitioner, Elisabeth Kristof, to unpack why so many parents keep reacting in ways they don't want to, and why it's not their fault. They explore how trauma lives in the body as patterns, not just past events, and how your nervous system is constantly shaping your reactions before your logical brain has a chance to step in. From yelling and shutting down to overreacting or giving in, these responses often come from deeply wired survival loops. You'll also learn how emotional suppression keeps those patterns alive, and how simple, daily nervous system practices can begin to shift them. This episode is a hopeful reminder that you're not broken, you're wired, and with the right tools, you can create real, lasting change. ➡️ Head to https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/320 for more info and links.

Kristof interviews Dr. Sarah HainesThe Indoor Microbiome is the complex, invisible world of microorganisms living within our daily surroundings, serving as the primary ecological interface through which buildings influence human biology. In this light, we are beginning to view indoor environments not merely as passive shelters, but as powerful positive health interventions that can actively shape our immune development and long-term wellbeing.Today, we are joined by Dr. Sarah Haines, Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and Principal Investigator of the IMEE Lab, to explore the foundational framework behind this shift. We will discuss the emerging perspective of "biologically informed architectural design" and the fact that architects and interior designers don't just curate materials, they curate our basic microbial exposures and therefore our health and wellbeing. Sarah HainesProfessor Sarah Haines' interdisciplinary research integrates building science, engineering, and microbiology to analyze the impact the built environment has on human health. She uses cutting-edge microbiology techniques such as next-generation sequencing, metatranscriptomics, and bioinformatics to understand the impact of moisture on indoor environmental quality. Linking to climate change, her research explores the impact of weatherization and extreme weather events on indoor air quality, particularly in low income communities who may be at a higher risk for asthma. Her work aids in understanding indoor exposures from microorganisms and chemicals providing for a cleaner and sustainable indoor environment.TeamHosted by Kristof IrwinEdited by Nico MignardiProduced by M.

Kristof interviews Benjamin Jewell.This is Part 2 of our latest series to familiarize our industry with the world of hydronics systems and air-to-water heat pumps. In Part 2 we're rejoining the conversation to look at controls - the "central nervous systems" of these hydronics. We're moving beyond old-school mechanical switches to a new class of microprocessor based systems that prioritize "outcomes"—like thermal comfort and air quality—rather than just reacting to thermostat calls. This shift is about adding intelligence that anticipates comfort needs and makes the system more stable and predictable for both the installer and the homeowner .We also dive into the high-stakes world of the global refrigerant transition and how hydronic systems allow a home to become "refrigerant agnostic" and truly future-proofed . We unpack the potential of natural refrigerants like R-290 (propane) and discuss why builders and developers are the key stakeholders in the transition of this product class from high-end homes to the baseline approach for every home that's built. We wrap up by looking at how simplified "kit" solutions are finally removing the traditional barriers of labor and complexity to make hydronics accessible for the mainstream market.Benjamin JewellDirector of Carrier Hydronics NA (Climate Solutions Americas)As the Director of Carrier Hydronics North America within the Climate Solutions Americas division, Ben Jewell leads a multifaceted organization comprising Product, Engineering, and Technical Services teams.

He frequently invests his time in sharing resources and supporting those looking to solve tough problems that make the world a better place, including contributing to industry knowledge through podcasting. Driven by the goal of being a proactive force in the world, Ben aims to look back on his career with the confidence that he "happened to the world" by making a tangible, positive impact on the industry and the environment.On a personal level, Ben is a devoted husband and a father to three daughters, a dog owner, and a "food rescue" enthusiast. While he describes himself as an average fly fisherman and perhaps a naturalist in another life, he spends the bulk of his days enjoying what he considers his dream career. His journey has taken him from Iowa City to Milford, Connecticut, and Stony Brook, New York, eventually leading him to his forever home base in Fort Collins, Colorado.

In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, I'm joined by Kristof Gleich, President and Chief Investment Officer at Harbor Capital Advisors, for a deep dive into the human capital factor and its impact on business value and investment performance. Kristof explains how Harbor's partnership with Irrational Capital led to the development of the HAPI ETFs and walks through the seven subfactors that make up the human capital score: organizational effectiveness, innovation, direct management, alignment, engagement, emotional connection, and extrinsic rewards. We get into the data behind the factor, including the use of large-scale employee sentiment surveys and proprietary analytics, the index construction process that identifies the top 150 companies, and the annual reconstitution methodology. Kristof also shares performance insights – from Morningstar recognition to how HAPI has compared with the S&P 500. We also talk about why this factor has the potential to generate real alpha and how investors, private equity firms, and valuation professionals are beginning to incorporate human capital metrics into underwriting and deal analysis. If you're interested in how people truly drive enterprise value, how human capital data can shape portfolios, and what this means for investors, advisors, and dealmakers, this episode offers practical, data-driven insights you can use. About Our Guest: Kristof Gleich is the president and CIO of Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. Kristof oversees all Investment, Distribution & Marketing and Executive Office functions at Harbor.

Send us a textWhat happens when a brilliant concept crumbles under its own weight? We dive headfirst into The Truman Show and pull at every loose thread: a dome you can see from space, a moon that doubles as a control booth, rain on a dimmer, and a hero who behaves like a normal adult instead of someone raised by a stage. We're not here to nitpick for sport—we're asking how this story should work if it wants to be a satire, a thriller, or a character drama, and why it lands in a mushy middle where none of those genres truly sing.From Plato's Cave to product placement, we walk through the philosophical promise the film hints at but rarely honors. If every relationship is an advertisement, then lean in: make the world a nonstop sales pitch where Truman's wife, friends, and neighbors are always selling, and his dawning awareness is inevitable and painful. If it aims to be a thriller, lock the world's rules, tighten the surveillance, and make each escape attempt a credible chess match. If it wants character drama, reshape Truman's mind—how he understands weather, intimacy, trust—so his confusion feels like a life-long conditioning rather than a week of convenient glitches. We also dig into the ethics that the film shrugs off: consent inside a staged marriage, the grotesque idea of a “live conception,” and the hollow claim that “he can leave anytime” while hazmat teams haul him home.We revisit standout sequences—the falling light, the radio bleed, the traffic loop, the boat into the painted horizon—and ask why these moments should soar but don't. Ed Harris brings steel as Kristof, yet the god-voice scene undercuts itself by offering a safe return no human could accept. And that final audience beat, the channel flip after 30 years, says more about the movie's uncertainty than about us. Along the way, we compare the show's fantasy to today's reality TV, from the quiet sincerity of early Love Island seasons to the engineered chaos that drives modern engagement, and the extraordinary longitudinal honesty of the Seven Up series. Knowing what audiences actually watch makes the Truman premise feel even less plausible.Stick around to hear what we're queuing up next—yes, a holiday curveball—and where we think televised storytelling goes from here as streamers consolidate and theater windows shrink. If you enjoy a spirited teardown with a blueprint for a better version, hit follow, leave a review, and share this with a friend who still quotes “Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.” Then tell us: would you stay in the dome or walk through the exit?Written lovingly with AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT
The current interruption in SNAP benefits are disproportionately impacting the indigenous people of the United States. In this reprised episode of APS, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nicholas Kristof and Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health Director Allison Barlow talk about poverty, education and the struggle for social justice in Native American communities. “The Bureau of Indian Education schools only have a 53% high school graduation rate! We are failing them way before they fail us,” suggests Kristof. “We as a country have had this narrative that when people struggle, it's because of a lack of personal responsibility and bad choices... It's because we as a society are making bad choices about healthcare, education and jobs."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
"Quietly ambitious and a bit unhinged." Somewhere in the Midwest, a talented young couple is quietly building an escape room empire. Their company, 60 to Escape, has over 12 different escape rooms across 3 locations, a puzzle-filled mini-golf experience, and a haunt so extensive and scenic that it was used as the set for a horror movie called Haunt Season on Amazon Prime. Stephen Kristof literally has entertainment in his blood. His parents owned a family entertainment center, and he grew up bouncing around mini-golf, go carts, and fixing the arcade machines. Growing up, Stephen always wanted to work at a haunt, but he was too young. So at the ripe young age of thirteen, he presented his parents with business plan for opening up his own haunt, and his first venture was born. In the course of running the haunt, they brought in a talented young SFX makeup artist named Stevie Calabrese (now Stevie Kristof). During haunt season, she manages four other artists as they get eighty performers into costumes and makeup in under two hours. Stephen and Stevie met, fell in love, and became "The Steves." They now run their immersive entertainment ventures together, crafting and creating much of it themselves, along with their team of talented folks. If either of them look familiar, you may have seen them on a reality show. Stephen was a contestant on Season 1 of Holey Moley, a zany mini-golf reality competition show, and Stevie was a contestant on Season 9 of Face Off, a special effects makeup reality competition show. I really enjoyed hearing them talk about their commitment to the customer experience, and their dedication to production value and creativity. Their company 60 to Escape was part of the Escape Immerse Explore tour in the Chicago area in 2025.

This is a crossover episode with the Spring Street Passive House education and advocacy series.Welcome to a pivotal conversation on the future of our built world. The concrete industry, indispensable for modern infrastructure, is facing an urgent mandate: reconcile its foundational role (pun) with its role as a source of environmental pollution. The scale of the emissions are staggering - if global concrete manufacturing were a country it would be the 3rd largest emitter, behind only China and the US (!). The good news is that with this a motivation the global concrete industry is now rethinking its entire lifecycle. In this episode, host Kristof sits down with John Mead, one of the founders of Solid Carbon to talk about efforts to transform concrete from a carbon emitter into a "net carbon sink. By converting waste carbon materials, wood being one, into a mass of solid carbon through pyrolysis and then using this carbon sink in a durable material through concrete we are making a huge impact in an industry that needs to make some powerful shifts in the years ahead.John MeadJohn Mead is an entrepreneur with 20 years leading companies focused on sustainable construction. He has a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Oregon State University, and an MBA from George Fox University. He is CEO of Solid Carbon Inc., an Oregon company specializing in the commercialization of biochar-based ingredients for the ready mixed concrete industry. Solid Carbon's mission is to transform the concrete industry into a climate solution with climate smart concrete solutions to sequester carbon in the built environment. When not working on climate-friendly construction businesses he can be found coaching high school rugby, camping in the Cascades, gardening and admiring historic and modern architecture.Solid Carbon LinkedInTeamHosted by Kristof IrwinEdited by Nico MignardiProduced by M.
