On today's show we look at HDTV Display Technologies that are no longer with us. Some had a short run and some never made it to the market. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG pulls the plug on 8K OLED and 8K LCD TVs Apple's home hub could finally arrive this spring with a rather unique design Roku is Testing a New Home Screen With A New Look Google Home update brings more automation controls HDTV Display Technologies That Are No Longer With Us Over the 21 years we have been doing the show we have seen numerous HDTV display technologies come and go. Some never made it to market and some had a good run but were eventually beat out by something better. These technologies competed during the transition from bulky CRTs to flat panels, but most lost out as LCD, later becoming LED-backlit LCD, then OLED, became dominant for reasons like cost, scalability, picture quality improvements, and manufacturing ease. Technologies That Were Proposed/Demonstrated but Never Commercially Released to Consumers SED (Surface-Conduction Electron-Emitter Display)Developed primarily by a Canon and Toshiba joint venture starting in the late 1990s/early 2000s. It was essentially a flat-panel evolution of CRT technology using electron emitters for each pixel, promising CRT-like motion handling, deep blacks, high contrast, fast response times, and low power in a slim form factor. Prototypes were shown around 2005–2007 with impressive demos. Why it didn't make it: Repeated delays due to manufacturing challenges (high production costs, difficulty scaling/vacuum sealing), patent disputes, and aggressive price drops in LCD/plasma panels. Then by 2009–2010, LCD had become too dominant and cheap; Canon officially froze consumer SED development in 2010, shifting any remaining efforts to niche professional uses. FED (Field-Emission Display)Similar to SED and sometimes grouped together or seen as a precursor/variant. FED used field-emission electron sources (like microtips) for CRT-style performance in a flat panel. Demonstrated in prototypes in the 2000s by companies like Sony and Motorola. Why it didn't make it: Development took too long; manufacturing complexity and yield issues made it unviable. It was overtaken by faster-scaling plasma and then LCD/OLED technologies before reaching mass production. Technologies That Reached the Market but Were Discontinued DLP (Digital Light Processing) Rear-Projection TVsUsed Texas Instruments' DMD (digital micromirror device) chips to reflect light, often with a color wheel for sequential color (or pricier 3-chip versions). Popular in the mid-2000s for large-screen (50–70+ inch) HDTVs from brands like Samsung, Mitsubishi, RCA, and Toshiba, offering good brightness, no burn-in, and sharp images at competitive prices. Why discontinued: Bulky depth (even if thinner than CRT rear-projection), lamp replacements needed, rainbow artifacts (on single-chip models), poor off-angle viewing, and vulnerability to ambient light. As flat-panel LCD and plasma prices fell dramatically in the late 2000s, consumers preferred slim, wall-mountable designs. Rear-projection DLP TVs largely vanished by around 2010. LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) / Variants like D-ILA (JVC) and SXRD (Sony)A reflective microdisplay tech using liquid crystals on a silicon backplane, often in rear-projection or some front-projection setups. Offered excellent contrast, deep blacks, and smooth motion (better than early LCDs). Available in HDTVs from JVC, Sony, and others in the mid-2000s. Why largely discontinued for direct-view TVs: High cost, manufacturing complexity, and lower brightness compared to emerging flat panels. Rear-projection versions suffered the same bulkiness issues as DLP. While LCOS survives today in high-end projectors mostly in JVC and Sony home theater models, it never scaled to mainstream direct-view flat-panel HDTVs and was eclipsed by LCD advancements. Plasma Display Panel (PDP / Plasma TVs)Used ionized gas (plasma) cells to create light, excelling in black levels, contrast, color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and no motion blur. Very popular for HDTV in the 2000s from Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, and LG. Why discontinued: High power consumption, heat generation, heavier panels, burn-in risk (though mitigated later), and difficulty scaling to 4K efficiently/cost-effectively. As LCD/LED prices dropped with better brightness, efficiency, and no burn-in, plasma couldn't compete economically. Production fully ended around 2014–2015. Other Notable Mentions LCD Rear-Projection TVs — Used transmissive LCD panels; suffered from similar bulk and light issues as DLP; discontinued early-mid 2000s. Direct-view CRT HDTVs — The original standard; fully discontinued by the late 2000s/early 2010s due to size, weight, and inefficiency. Key Reasons Technologies Fail in HDTV Market Regardless of how good a display technology is, the following will keep it from the mass market: Cost & Manufacturing Yield: Technologies requiring ultra-precise processes (SED, FED, LCoS) couldn't hit competitive prices.  Competing Technologies Improve Fast: LCD and later LED/OLED got cheaper and better quicker than rivals could scale. Form Factor Shift: Direct-view panels beat rear-projection (DLP, LCoS, laser) because consumers prefer thin TVs. Performance Tradeoffs: Issues like power use, burn-in, brightness, viewing angles, or reliability hurt consumer uptake.  In summary, the winners were technologies that scaled cheaply to larger sizes, became thinner/lighter, improved efficiency, and avoided major drawbacks like high costs or reliability issues. LCD/LED dominated the 2010s due to mass production advantages, while OLED took premium segments later for superior contrast/per-pixel lighting. Many promising "next-gen" ideas from the 2000s (like SED/FED) simply arrived too late or proved too hard to manufacture affordably.

Get Ari Whitten's Book here:  https://theenergyblueprint.com/referral.html?p=nataliejill&w=RLTBookLaunch  What if the most effective anti-aging tool isn't some skincare in your cabinet but is something that has been scientifically proven for 30 years, studied across 6,000 peer-reviewed research papers, and yet nobody told you about it? What if the reason you haven't heard about it isn't because it doesn't work, but because the science moved faster than the system?  In this episode, I'm sitting down with Ari Whitten, one of the world's leading experts in photobiomodulation and red light therapy. Ari and I have known each other for nearly two decades. What he's discovered about light, cellular energy, aging, and mitochondrial health has genuinely transformed how I approach my own health. That's why I'm bringing him back to share this information with you. We're diving deep into topics that matter: Is red light therapy actually scientifically proven, or is it just the latest wellness trend? (Spoiler: 6,000 peer-reviewed studies, 30+ years of research, and now mainstream adoption says it's proven.) How does red light actually work at the cellular level? (Hint: it's not magic, it's mitochondrial biology.) Why are dermatologists still recommending sun avoidance when red light from the sun is protective? (And how do you know which wavelengths actually age you?) Which devices actually work, which ones are a waste of money, and how do you know the difference? (Device selection matters more than most people realize.) How can red light therapy support anti-aging, energy, recovery, sleep, and brain function all at the same time? (It's not separate benefits, it's connected cellular biology.) Why don't doctors talk about this if the science is solid? (The answer reveals a lot about how medicine actually works.) How does diet work synergistically with red light therapy for skin health? (Your vegetables are doing more for sun protection than you realize.) Your body hasn't evolved to live under artificial lights all day and then in bright LED light all night. It's evolved to sync with the sun. But the sun's effects on your health depend on understanding which wavelengths you're getting and what they actually do. Red light therapy isn't a new invention. It's 30 years of proven science finally becoming mainstream. When you align your light exposure with natural cycles, strategically use red light therapy for specific goals, and support your skin with proper nutrition, you're not just optimizing. You're addressing one of the most fundamental inputs to human health that most people completely overlook. The science isn't new…public understanding of it is just catching up.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 344: Russell Carpenter When cinematographer Russell Carpenter began working on Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash concurrently, he knew stepping into the world of Pandora would be a much different production environment. Carpenter and director Jim Cameron had previously collaborated on True Lies and Titanic, which won him the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. As the cinematographer, Carpenter's primary concern was ensuring the lighting on live, motion-captured actors blended seamlessly with a CGI-generated universe. Audiences instinctively understand the physics of sunlight filtering through a forest or the way light refracts underwater. To maintain an emotional connection to the story, Cameron insisted that every frame feel like it was in the real world of Pandora. The Avatar sequels were built in layers, with digital artists building the environment based on the script. Rough versions of the scenes and the blocking for the actors were plotted out, and then they were ready for the motion capture with the actors. Carpenter worked closely with production designers to determine how light should "feel" in these virtual spaces. Because the background was digital, the camera movement and lighting could be tested with instant feedback. If a virtual camera moved through a forest, the real-world lighting on the actor could be tested to react to every digital leaf and shadow in real-time. For over a year, Carpenter lived in two worlds: the virtual and the physical. "I had to keep lighting consistent in the CGI world while translating what Jim was doing on the capture stage," Carpenter says. "In the world of motion capture, things have to match to the half-second. If the camera travels a specific distance at a specific speed, the actor has to be exactly there. It's painstaking." A major breakthrough for the sequels was the use of programmable LED systems. Working with computer programmers and moving lights, Carpenter's team devised a way to shift intricate lighting setups instantly. This allowed for more complex visual storytelling, such as backlit sequences and the dappled, moving light of the Pandoran jungles. For Avatar: Fire and Ash, Cameron pushed for a more "organic" look, requesting the digital world mimic the flaws of physical film cameras. “Certain artifacts were introduced into Fire and Ash that we didn't quite have on Way of Water,” Carpenter explains, “such as lens flares and the appearance of water running off the front plate of a camera lens.” The team tested shooting lens flares, and a Weta programmer built it into the CGI world. To simulate the "Ash People" shooting flaming arrows, Carpenter's team used a grid of overhead LEDs programmed to "zip" past the actors' heads at arrow-speed, creating a realistic flicker of firelight on their faces Despite the technical hurdles, Carpenter found that the core of his craft—sculpting light—remained the same, even if the toolkit had changed. He admits the transition isn't for everyone. “I would say to any cinematographer who ventures into this territory, there's a learning curve where you definitely feel like a stranger in a strange land,” he says. “You realize that, especially in terms of live action, your percentage of the pie is less—but your impact on the final vision remains vital.” You can see Avatar: Fire and Ash in a variety of formats in theaters everywhere.

EPYSODE 68: Swaddling Songs, by Mellow Candle. Guest: Mellow Candle's Alison O'Donnell. Additional commentary by my twin brother Maurice. This week we drop the needle on a true cult classic. Released in 1972 and largely overlooked in its time, this singular album has since become a holy grail of British folk-rock, revered for its mysticism and haunting beauty. Led by the spellbinding voices of Clodagh Simonds and Alison Williams (now Alison O'Donnell), Mellow Candle fused pastoral folk with progressive rock flourishes, baroque arrangements, and flashes of jazz and classical influence. Tracks like “Sheep Season” and “Dan the Wing” unfold with dramatic, almost otherworldly crescendos. With Alison's help, we explore the story behind the band, the circumstances that shaped Swaddling Songs, and why it vanished so quickly after its release, only to be rediscovered decades later by collectors and crate diggers. Light a candle, settle in, and join us as Vinyl Relics revisits one of the most enchanting lost records of the early '70s. I hope you dig Swaddling Songs as much as I do. -Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Check out all of Alison's music here: https://alisonodonnell.bandcamp.com   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0jtVg6Mft71ZW9Niixuma1?si=f05d853ad16b44cb *denotes track is not available on Spotify.

Quanto consuma davvero il nostro cervello in energia? Sorprendentemente, circa soli 20 Watt, più o meno come una semplice lampadina LED accesa. E con questa minuscola quantità di energia riesce a fare tutto: pensare, muoversi, vedere, parlare, ricordare, regolare il battito, respirare, prendere decisioni e interpretare il mondo, tutto contemporaneamente.Ma allora sorge una domanda enorme: quanta energia servirebbe all'intelligenza artificiale per fare le stesse cose?In questo video mettiamo a confronto cervello umano e intelligenza artificiale da un punto di vista di consumo energetico. Scopriremo insieme a Giorgia Giulia che, mentre il cervello funziona con l'equivalente di una lampadina, l'AI ha bisogno di supercomputer, data center grandi come città e consumi di decine o centinaia di megawatt, milioni di volte superiori.

Dan shares tales of two islands this week. We'll head to the remote Pacific Samoan island of Ofu, where there's a stretch of beach so feared that many locals refuse to walk it after dark. A place believed to be a gathering ground for spirits who've never crossed over. A place where ghosts can do more than just scare you. Next, we'll head to the other side of the world to the Azores.  High above a volcanic crater on São Miguel, an abandoned luxury hotel looms out of the fog  - a five-star dream that collapsed almost as soon as it opened. Visitors today report footsteps in empty hallways, voices in stairwells, and the unmistakable feeling of being watched by something that never left. A little less exotic but equally as creepy, Lynze brings us a tale from Spokane. The story of an entity that has attached itself to a someone and still lingers close today. To wrap up, we go to a midwest county fair where two young friends get more than they bargained for at the fun house. Bad Magic Monthly Donation: This month, we are donating to the HALO Dental Network.

Episode Introduction This episode of The Homeowners Show features hosts Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams discussing current trends in the housing market, personal finance related to homeownership, and a practical DIY project. Real Estate Market Update Mortgage Rates: Rates have dropped to their lowest point since 2023, falling below 6% and even reaching 5.9% for some loans. FHA and VA loans are seeing rates around 5.9%, while traditional loans are in the low 6% range. Buyer's Market: There are currently 500,000 more home sellers than buyers, indicating a buyer's market. This shift suggests that prices may begin to decrease, and buyers have more negotiation power. Affordable Homes: While many homes are priced high, there are still options available for under $200,000, typically smaller, newer constructions. The hosts advocate for buying within one's means and prioritizing essential home features over excessive luxury. Financial Advice for Homeowners Smart Spending: The hosts emphasize the importance of making financially sound decisions, such as buying a home that is affordable rather than stretching to the absolute limit. This approach can lead to less financial stress and more disposable income for home improvements and personal enjoyment. Investment vs. Renting: Homeownership is generally presented as a better financial decision than renting, even for smaller, more affordable properties, as it builds equity over time. Avoiding Unnecessary Debt: The discussion highlights the negative impact of taking on excessive debt for a home, potentially leading to marital strain and unhappiness. DIY Project: Garage Door Opener Installation The Problem: Craig's garage door opener failed due to a worn-out plastic gear. The Solution: After initially considering professional replacement, which was quoted at three times the cost of the unit itself, Craig opted for a DIY installation. Technology & Tools: ChatGPT Assistance: AI was used to research compatible brands and installation nuances, revealing that multiple brands share the same mounting mechanisms. Chamberlain B6753T: The chosen smart garage door opener features Wi-Fi connectivity, a camera for deliveries (with a subscription service), a microphone, and a backup battery. Installation App: A dedicated app provided interactive 3D models and video guidance, making the installation process significantly easier and more detailed than traditional manuals. Key Features: The new opener is remarkably quiet and features a powerful LED light bar (2000 lumens) that illuminates the entire garage.

Jonathan Crystal, Managing Partner at Crystal Venture Partners, talks about investing in early-stage AI-driven insurtech companies. After leading his family's insurance brokerage to a successful exit, Jonathan launched his $33M fund when he realized AI was the catalyst insurance had been waiting for. He explains why entrepreneurship means "dooming yourself to years of terror," and why the best investments happen when founders identify problems before revenue models. With investments in companies like Bright Harbor, which helps families navigate disaster recovery, Jonathan explains how domain expertise enables conviction at day one—when there's no product, just a founder with an audacious vision.In this episode, you'll learn:[02:14] From Texas to Princeton to building an insurance dynasty in New York[04:04] Why insurance rewards creativity and curious minds[07:24] The brutal truth: 99% of a VC's job is saying no[10:31] Exiting the family business and finding the "why now" moment for venture[12:10] The ChatGPT revelation that launched Crystal Venture Partners[14:13] Investment thesis: $1-3M checks at day one for transformational companies[19:11] Why building a venture company means years of terror—and that's the test[21:59] Bright Harbor case study: From revenue model questions to product-market fit during LA fires[25:30] Most common reason for no: "We're not your best source of capital"[29:40] Finding investment opportunities in unusual areasThe nonprofit organization Jonathan is passionate about: 12/64About Jonathan CrystalJonathan Crystal is the Managing Partner of Crystal Venture Partners, a $33 million early-stage venture fund focused on AI-driven transformation in the insurance industry.

Higher Ed AV PodcastEpisode 343Joe Way caps off his ISE preview series with one of his annual favorite conversations, welcoming back Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events, the organizers of Integrated Systems Europe. Mike shares why ISE 2026 is on track to be the biggest edition yet, how the team plans the show as a year round reinvention cycle, and what “Push Beyond” really means in practice, not just as a theme, but as a commitment to raising the bar for the industry and the attendee experience.A big focus of the episode is how ISE has become more than a trade show inside a convention center. Mike explains the deliberate shift to making ISE a city wide experience that gives something back to Barcelona while also showcasing the best of AV to the public. Joe and Mike unpack how those external activations connect back to the show floor, the conference program, and the broader mission of ISE as a marketplace plus an editorial engine for learning.The conversation also goes deep on vertical strategy and why education continues to grow at ISE. Mike talks about partnering with subject matter experts and communities to curate programming that motivates end users to attend, and Joe shares how HETMA is helping first timers navigate the show and find their people. They close with practical pro tips for surviving the scale of ISE, plus Mike's latest attendance signals and a few Barcelona favorites.Key topics and highlightsMike's role and the show's foundation: Integrated Systems Events as a joint venture between AVIXA and CEDIA, with more than two decades of ISE history and continued growthISE 2026 theme: Push BeyondInternal: the ISE team challenges itself every year to avoid getting “comfortable” and to reinvent the experienceExternal: challenging the AV and systems integration industry to push boundaries and raise expectationsWhy ISE feels different: ISE as both marketplace and “publisher”Exhibitors are the marketplace and the advertisingISE's job is the editorial: conferences, summits, thought leadership, and curated experiences that make the trip worth itBarcelona as part of the showThe origin story: learning from city gridlock in Amsterdam and deciding to create value for locals, not just visitorsProjection mapping at Casa Batlló and connecting it back to the show through artist involvement and learning momentsCollaboration with the Llum lighting festival, moving it to dovetail with ISE and supporting it without consuming its identityA major new “Push Beyond” moment for 2026: drones go outsideNightly outdoor drone shows near the venue starting around 6:30 pmIntegrated with a large transparent LED element and immersive programmingSpecial Tuesday evening performance with a live orchestra and opera singer, then repeated with recorded performance on Wednesday and ThursdayEducation growth and the EdTech Congress partnershipWhy the education technology cluster matters and how it grew from small beginnings into a serious conveningWhy partnering makes sense: thousands of education specialists, many not previously attending ISEHow it's structured: Montjuïc venue, shuttle connections, two day format that complements ISE and encourages cross attendanceMike's broader point: ISE succeeds by working with partners who know each subject area better than the show organizers doShow navigation and scaleWhy you cannot “do it all” in four daysHow ISE divided halls by sector so attendees can start in the right place for their vertical and then branch outProduction and live events growth: that “haze, lights, buzz” energy expanding into larger hallsWhat attendees should do differently this yearTreat ISE like a curated mission, not a wandering marathonPick your primary vertical starting hallBlock time for discovery outside your lane (the surprise vendors are part of the magic)Use communities and meet points (like HETMA) as a reset point to plan the next movePlan for the city experiencesAdd at least one evening for the public activations (projection mapping, Llum, and the new drone spectacular)Pro tips mentioned in the episodeDownload and use the official ISE app for wayfinding and planningUse the ISE tools, including the chatbot Dave, to quickly find vendors, locations, and show informationTake the metro to skip the post show taxi crushFree metro tickets are providedMetro access is available directly at the venue entrances called out by MikeLeave time for the “first ISE moment”Joe's reminder: the walk in experience hits before you even enter a hall, and first timers never forget itHETMA and higher ed calloutsHETMA is increasing its presence and community support at ISE, including being a visible flag for education attendees who want help navigating the show and connecting with the right peopleJoe encourages education attendees to use the HETMA meet point approach as a way to make a massive show feel manageableAttendance check and what Mike can shareMike shares last year's verified attendance number and notes current registration tracking is trending ahead year over yearJoe makes his annual guess and pushes for a new milestone, while Mike hints at internal competition and waits for final numbers post showHow to connect with Mike Blackman and ISE to learn moreISE Website: https://www.iseurope.orgEmail: mblackman@iseurope.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaellblackman/Connect with Joe Way:Web: https://www.josiahway.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/josiahwayX (Formerly Twitter): https://www.x.com/josiahwayInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josiahway

What happens when someone who's spent decades inside the lighting industry's machinery gets straight to it?In this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel sits down with Geoff Marlow, a veteran consultant and industry strategist who has witnessed firsthand the seismic shifts reshaping architectural lighting—from the rise of LED technology to the relentless wave of consolidation, private equity takeovers, and the erosion of relationships that once held this industry together.Geoff walks through what he calls TTO—the convergence of talent scarcity, technical complexity, and the shift from products to outcomes—and explains why the industry's failure to address these forces is creating chaos across every layer of the supply chain. He reveals why manufacturers, reps, distributors, and designers are all pointing fingers at each other's margins while missing the bigger picture: the process itself is broken. Projects are treated as linear when they're actually iterative. Relationships are treated as poetry when they need to be built on definitive, measurable trust. And consolidation—whether it's reps buying reps, manufacturers buying manufacturers, or private equity rolling up portfolios—keeps failing because purpose is missing.But this isn't just a diagnosis. It's a call to action. Geoff argues that the industry needs to move from inductive chaos to deductive clarity—starting with outcomes, not guesswork. Those margin dollars aren't owed, they're earned. That partnership isn't owed, it's earned. That enthusiasm isn't owed, it's earned. And that if the industry can't create a shared language, a shared purpose, and a shared commitment to solving problems together, it will continue to eat itself from the inside out.

Is modern technology draining your body and spirit by hijacking your attention and circadian rhythm? Josh Trent welcomes Tristan Scott, EMF expert, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 796, to reveal how EMFs and artificial light disrupt circadian rhythm, mitochondria, and melatonin, why modern screens keep us locked in fight or flight, how nature and light function as biological nutrition, what his concussion taught him about neuro sensitivity and human awareness, and why creating technology aligned with nature may be essential for the future of human health, creativity, and consciousness.

Hey, it's Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting, and in this episode, I'm recapping my experience at Podfest 2026, which was a whirlwind of hallway chats, memorable dinners, and some eye-opening lessons. Here's what I cover:Hallway Conversations & Overheard Myths: I noticed folks were obsessing over tiny details like the exact minute a podcast should release, debating things like whether 8:01am is better than 8:00am. Honestly, I don't think anyone is waiting by their phone for your show to drop to the minute. Being consistent matters more than timing it down to the second.The Role (and Cost) of AI in Podcasting: I talked to podcasters searching for AI tools that could do everything—generate ideas, write scripts, edit, publish, you name it—ideally for free. The reality is, good AI isn't free, and companies are raising prices when they add AI features. “AI” stands for “Always Increase” when it comes to your expenses!Reflections on Video: Unlike previous conferences, there wasn't as much pressure this time to dive into video podcasting. Most folks seemed to realize you don't want AI or automation to create your whole show. Polishing? Sure, but not producing the meat.A Cool AI Demo: I saw a preview of Episonic AI, which analyzes your past episodes, constructs a target audience profile, and even suggests topics and guests. It was interesting in demo form, but I'd want to play with it myself before really judging.Conference Costs and Why They're So High: I break down just how expensive it is to put on a conference—think $10k to rent an LED screen and $8k just to plug it in. Even coffee for attendees can run $135/gallon! High ticket prices aren't about gouging attendees; organizers are just trying to cover astronomical hotel fees.Networking Magic: The biggest benefit of these events is always the networking. I had a blast connecting with old friends, like Daniel J. Lewis, Rob Walsh, Rob Greenlee, and James Cridlin, and got to enjoy some great stories and camaraderie.Podcasting Hall of Fame: The Hall of Fame event was a highlight. Seeing so many people who've truly served the podcasting community—sharing knowledge, fighting legal battles, innovating—reminded me that serving your audience is the common denominator among podcasting greats.A Word on Programmatic Ads: I discuss my article comparing podcast CPM/programmatic ads to the historic crash of banner ad prices on websites. My worry: as more low-quality, AI-generated shows flood the market and accept pennies, ad rates may sink across the board."How to Pitch a Podcast" Show Update: I'm experimenting with a new show concept where we share the worst—and best—podcast pitches. So far, the main hurdle is getting folks to submit their stories in audio form. I've simplified the process, and hope more people will participate. If not, it may become a segment rather than a full show.Final Thoughts: If you went to Podfest, don't wait to follow up with those business cards—make the most of your new connections! I share about my next steps, including attending the Novel Marketing Conference in Austin, and remind everyone to check out schoolofpodcasting.com if you want personal help growing your show.Mentioned In This EpisodeSchool of Podcasting CommunityPodnewsRich Graham the Merch Drop Show

In this episode of the VRMA Arrival podcast, Lance and Elaine Stitcher of Seaside Vacation & Sales share the story behind their 2025 VRMA Excellence Awards win for Best Marketing Campaign, and why the campaign was never really about Seaside at all.Celebrating both their company's 10th anniversary and the 100th annual Chincoteague Pony Swim, the Seaside team challenged themselves to do something bold: create an original, feature-length documentary that honored the island's history, culture, and people. Led by a small but highly creative in-house marketing team, the project became the centerpiece of a year-long storytelling campaign that extended far beyond the film itself, generating millions of social impressions, significant follower growth, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in directly attributable bookings.Lance and Elaine unpack how the campaign came together, how they measured success, and why community-first storytelling consistently outperforms traditional “listing-first” marketing. They also share practical takeaways for property managers of any size—whether or not they have a milestone event or a big budget—including how to repurpose content, spotlight local characters, and let destination storytelling do the heavy lifting.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 342: Michael Bauman Cinematographer Michael Bauman recently earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography for his work on One Battle After Another. Before becoming a cinematographer, Bauman spent years as a gaffer, working under legends like Robert Elswit, Janusz Kaminski, and the late Harris Savides. This mentorship gave him a masterclass in diverse visual languages and on-set problem-solving. After serving as a gaffer for director Paul Thomas Anderson on several projects, Bauman stepped into the DP role for the features Phantom Thread and Licorice Pizza. The decision to shoot One Battle After Another in VistaVision was Anderson's idea. Known for his commitment to celluloid, Anderson prefers old-school techniques: watching dailies on developed negative and editing with physical film. VistaVision offered a larger negative and higher resolution than standard 35mm without the massive footprint of IMAX. The challenge, however, was mobility. Historically used for stationary visual effects shots, the VistaVision camera is notoriously bulky. Anderson wanted the opposite: a dynamic, handheld, and Steadicam-heavy aesthetic. "The language of this entire movie is camera movement," says Bauman. "How do you take this format—with a viewing system that comes off the top at 45 degrees—and turn it into something that can capture the story the way he wants?" Putting an experienced team together was key for the endeavor. They had to be capable of troubleshooting in remote locations far from the safety of LA or New York hubs. Their goal wasn't perfection, but character. "In the digital world we soak in now, it's all about a pristine image," Bauman notes. "Blacks are super rich, whites are super crisp. We wanted to take this 'Kobe beef' format and turn it into a McDonald's hamburger—in the best way possible." The visual identity was further refined by referencing 1970s cinema, specifically The French Connection. Bauman studied the texture and color palettes of that era to emulate its "loose and rough" style. True to form, Anderson pushed to avoid modern LED lighting, preferring tungsten sources whenever space allowed. As a former gaffer, Bauman was happy to accommodate. Perhaps the greatest hurdle was the improvisational nature of the production. Anderson enjoys letting the actors improvise or even reshoot later. He doesn't use storyboards or do pre-vis, so even complex scenes had to be worked out in pre-production or on the day. “Every day was just like, you had to get comfortable with the uncomfortable,” comments Bauman. “I knew we were doing stuff in a good spot when I was really questioning all of it. We had to embrace all these happy accidents. It's free jazz all day long. It's exciting now, but at the time I was stressed as hell!” This spontaneity extended to the film's climax. The spectacular car chase wasn't fully scripted until the location manager discovered a road with rolling hills on the Arizona border. After a week of testing the VistaVision rigs on pursuit vehicles, the crew spent seven days capturing the sequence. Although it was in the wide-open desert, the characters chased each other over the undulating terrain, which allowed enough suspense to build before the spectacular conclusion.

When Sergio Cilli https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1826186/ made his first AI film, it really didn't get noticed. And neither did many others he made. Sure they were good. But what got noticed more was the one video he made, which showed why AI isn't quite and why it's not yet the monster filmmakers fear.Sergio joins Kristyna Archer https://www.archer.vision/ to talk about making AI films. What works, what doesn't, and how filmmakers can be ready for what comes next.Matt and Oren dive into how much it costs, where commercial budgets might be headed, and how AI will be adopted into filmmaking and commercials. And Sergio and Kristyna bring two different perspectives.Kristyna is an Adobe Firefly, an AI ambassador for Adobe, and has a background working with LED volume walls, Unreal Engine, and generally skews to the tech side of things. Sergio came from fear. It was only after his wife encouraged him to experiment that he discovered his desire to explore AI and filmmaking.This is a conversation about AI that tackles the elephant in the room from a variety of perspectives from working commercial directors. And it's not just talk, it's commercial directors who've actually explored the tools and put out some stuff – that if it wasn't impressive, it could cast a shadow on their directing careers. Or as Oren's friend likes to say, it tackles the “elephant that AI'nt in the room”.See Sergio's AI Audition video at https://youtu.be/AEbqJj2hIjgAnd find Sergio and Kristyna on Instagram @sergiocilli and @archerstudioooooo---Help our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: MoldQuestVHS on Instagram @moldquestvhsOren's Endorsement: The Pitt on HBO and the video "Beat Any Escape Room- 10 proven tricks and tips" from Mark Rober https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwgaTYOx0RISergio's Endorsement: "Extraordinary Things to Cutout and Collage", the book. https://www.mariarivans.com/extraordinary-things-to-cut-out-and-collage and Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee https://us.foursigmatic.com/products/original-mushroom-coffeeKristyna's Endorsement: The Wonder App has a great community of artists, producers, conversation and more, https://app.wonderstudios.com/ And also the Endel App https://endel.io/ for people with ADHD.

92.9 The Game Atlanta Falcons Reporter Joe Patrick speaks about Baker Mayfield responding to D. Led's post, the hire of Kevin Stefanski and the public reaction, the hire of Tommy Rees and who may call plays for the Falcons, the organizational decision to retain Jeff Ulbrich as defensive coordinator, what the offense may look like this season with some of the changes in the staff, and who he thinks will ultimately be the Falcons GM.

Stop Guessing: Tom Webb has Real Solutions for the New Rules Welcome to Everyone Racers #421! In this Poncho Super Duty Episode. Tim is travelling, so he's not here. Chris gets a speeding ticket, Chrissy pays to share a natural tepid water tub with strangers, Mental whines about rental truck not being comfy enough, & Tom Webb only has one h &  & he still did more this month than you. Really, it's a full tech breakdown of the latest rule changes & real, practical solutions for what matters: lighting, visibility, tow straps, number illumination, reflectors. Not a summary of the rules, a working session on how to implement them & why common “solutions” are now failing or creating dangerous situations on track. All from a person who knows - Tom Webb. The difference between focused vs. unfocused LEDs, why unfocused LED bars are not acceptable,  why taping, dimming, or aiming unfocused LEDs will not solve the problemHow excessive or poorly aimed lighting reduces reaction time  & blinds other driversHow to correctly test headlight cutoff at home using the 25-foot / 40-inch methodWhy DOT-approved driving lights behave differently than fog or work lightsPractical advice on color temperature, beam shape, & placement for night racingNumber visibility solutionsWhy self-illuminated, battery-powered, or externally aimed number lights are now illegalMultiple legal ways to illuminate numbers, including:LED strip lightingBacklit panelsDiffused light panelsInterior-mounted solutions that protect numbers from contactPros  & cons of each method; cost, durability, visibility & ease of installation. Why some solutions look bright in the paddock but disappear on trackTow straps  & recoveryWhy tow straps replaced tow hooksHow they should be mounted to avoid loading bolts in tensionWhy they are safer Common mounting mistakes that still fail techReflectors  & passive visibilityDOT reflective tape requirementsWhere reflectors must be placed  & why corner visibility mattersHow it improves safety when cars lose power or lightingWhat not to doWhy battery-powered lights, magnetic work lights & taped-over LEDs failWhy “cheap” doesn't mean unsafe, but incorrect doesReal examples of dangerous situations due to poor lighting choicesA discussion grounded in real tech inspections, real night-race incidents & feedback from race officials & corner workers. Not aesthetics or overbuilding, but being seen, passing tech & keeping everyone safe.  Amish Communities embracing E-Bikers (Justin Hughes @ Jalopnik) https://www.jalopnik.com/2077068/amish-communities-are-embracing-e-bikes/Airbag Theft on the Rise (Motorweek) https://motorweek.org/this-just-in/airbag-thefts-are-still-a-thing-and-hondas-remain-a-popular-target/Tupac's Restored murder BMW for sale…again… (Simran Rastogi @ Autoblog) https://www.autoblog.com/news/why-tupacs-bmw-is-still-for-sale-and-no-one-will-buy-itPlatinum Wedding Ring for only $1,600 on Racing Junkhttps://www.racingjunk.com/jewelry/184765876/gentleman-s-platinum-wedding-band.htmlGet in touch with John Pagel - Tech Boss here:pagel@24hoursoflemons.comOr even here:https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D9iex667J/TOW STRAP LINKSCrash bar wrap around 5500lb https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/bridgemoto-crash-bar-wrap-around-tow-strap.htmlSparco 6600 lb Tow Strap https://www.sparcousa.com/towingThose cool light number panels from Amazonhttps://a.co/d/9wDuvekHow to Make yours cheaphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=migIrDTJ6IIChris Blizzard Lighting Guidehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1W0Wk6fGSO2G7y3fDUMeBcsJ58XCZF6w0E77wXuqNrV8/mobilebasic?fbclid=IwY2xjawKaAtVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFjTmRidmN2bWFreVpWTVJMAR4qfvXupatPN52a6j2I2NhnvvfyNGFdmVcIZs37A3fWaYkKm-is8vJxOedoWw_aem_U2NDwxufdWEd0Pn-9DU3Hw⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPrTs8wdzydOqbpWZ_y-xEA ⁠  - Our YouTube 

Michael and Tory Waxman — the founders of Sundays for Dogs, the Cleveland-based company designed to make dog parents' lives easy.What began with their own dog, Mabel, and a simple but powerful question — why does feeding dogs well have to be so difficult? — has grown into one of the most exciting consumer companies to emerge from Ohio. Led by loving dog parents Dr. Tory Waxman, a veterinarian, and Michael Waxman, a serial entrepreneur, Sundays pioneered human-grade, air-dried, zero-synthetics dog food designed to be healthier than kibble and easier than refrigerated alternatives.Since our last recorded conversation in 2023 (Lay of The Land Episode #123), Sundays has scaled dramatically. Having raised more than $55 million in capital and built out a Cleveland-based R&D Test Kitchen — where our conversation today took place — Sundays has grown from a direct-to-consumer upstart into a nationally recognized brand preparing for omni-channel distribution, creating a product that dogs love while positioning themselves at the forefront of the booming pet food market and the emerging ambient fresh movement.In our conversation, Michael and Tory share how they've navigated multiple chapters of scaling — including customer acquisition and brand evolution, balancing supply and demand, investing deeply in product innovation, and building a senior leadership team — while staying grounded in the mission that inspired Sundays from the start: making it easier to be an awesome dog parent. They also discuss what excites them most about the future and what comes next for Sundays as the company continues to grow.00:00:00 - "The World's Best Dog Food is Made in Cleveland"00:00:25 - Introduction: Sundays for Dogs00:05:20 - Building an In-House R&D Test Kitchen in Cleveland00:10:06 - Most Dogs Still Eat Kibble (And Why That's Changing)00:15:09 - Marketing Evolution: How Does Sundays for Dogs Stand Out?00:20:18 - New Recipe Launch Preview (From the Test Kitchen!)00:21:33 - Ohio: The Surprising Dog Food Capital of America00:25:36 - Supply Chain Stories & Lessons Learned00:30:39 - When Demand Outpaces Supply: A Good Problem?00:32:59 - Beyond DTC: Omnichannel Distribution Strategy00:38:21 - How AI Will Transform How People Buy Dog Food00:41:34 - Dogs as Family: Where Is Society Headed?00:46:44 - Building Company Culture at Sundays00:52:13 - The Vision: Making Sundays a Household Name00:55:18 - Where to Find Sundays for Dogs-----LINKS:https://sundaysfordogs.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelewaxmanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tory-waxman-87781b176/https://www.layoftheland.fm/123-tory-michael-waxman-sundays/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

Fresh off Harley-Davidson's Chapter 2 launch, the 2026 Harley-Davidson lineup brings far more substance than the polished reveal video suggests. The biggest win is clarity: all Grand American Touring models now share the redesigned fairings, eliminating past confusion between Limited and non-Limited bikes and simplifying aftermarket compatibility. Officially revealed models include updated Street Glide and Road Glide Limiteds, multiple CVO touring variants, new trikes, and the Pan America 1250 Limited—giving consumers a clearer, more cohesive range to shop from. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Street Glide Limited emerges as a true factory-built Ultra-style tourer, complete with a redesigned batwing fairing, LED lower fairing lights, a new Grand Tour Pack with integrated lighting, taller windshield, and the Milwaukee-Eight 117 VVT motor. The Road Glide Limited mirrors this formula with shark-nose styling. Harley also deserves credit for finally treating chrome and black trim equally, offering the same color choices regardless of finish. In the CVO lineup, engines remain familiar (117 VVT for Limiteds, 121 VVT for CVOs), but styling steps up—especially with the long-awaited CVO Street Glide ST, a batwing performance bagger packed with race-inspired components and serious hardware. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Beyond touring, Harley expanded its reach with the Pan America 1250 Limited, aimed squarely at long-distance adventure riders, and significantly improved trikes with dramatically increased rear suspension travel for better ride quality. Missing, however, are the Road King, Bronx, and any true entry-level model, while the Street Glide Ultra appears to be a one-year-only bike—creating opportunities for deals on remaining inventory. Add in the limited-run Liberty Edition models celebrating America's 250th anniversary, and the 2026 lineup stands as one of Harley-Davidson's strongest, most focused releases in years, balancing refinement, performance, and clearer choices for buyers.

Andy and Randy talk about Baker Mayfield holding a grudge against Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski and his reaction to D. Led's social media post.

In Hour 1, Andy and Randy talk about Baker Mayfield's respond directed at both D. Led and Kevin Stefanski, Andruw Jones finally being elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and Hawks fans frustrations turning their attention to Quin Snyder.

Send us a textFlorida didn't just thaw us out—it rewired how we explore. We landed in Fort Myers with a loose plan and a lot of curiosity, then let geolocation games, local tips, and a few bold choices turn a winter weekend into a highlight reel of hidden gems. We chased the oldest geocache in Florida through a recently burned Everglades trail, watched smoke curl above the path, and laughed about the gators we didn't see. A quick prompt led us to the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, where the free grounds—lined with giant banyan trees and quiet labs—outshone the ticketed tour. And downtown delivered: Ford's Garage set the tone with gas pump door handles, tire sinks, and food that was way more than a gimmick.The Munzee community made the trip sing. We walked pristine park loops, mirrored sunsets on still water, and witnessed a crowning moment as Colecracker7 became the world's new number one. The hosts nailed the details: creative name tags, a “how did you get your handle” roll call, and a bingo card that turned strangers into fast friends. We put the new VACs feature to work and felt the difference—safer in cars, easier during walks, and perfect for travelers stacking caps across the city. By Sunday, the totals told the story: 5.1 million points in four days and a leaderboard bump that felt earned.Play followed us everywhere. Nice Guys Pizza glowed with blacklight art and a wall of pinball machines where a surprise upset changed our arcade pecking order. Millennial Brewing's mural tour jumped from DeLorean to Millennium Falcon, and for the first time, we all ordered the same sour. Then came Jungle Bird Tiki, a bamboo-wrapped oasis with generous pours in tall ceramic mugs, LED vines overhead, and food that kept us talking. It was the perfect landing spot to trade notes, plan the next event, and appreciate how Fort Myers and Cape Coral reward people who explore by foot, by app, and by appetite.If this journey gives you ideas, hit play and take notes.

Patrick pulls listeners into raw, real conversation about the power of fathers, and answers tough calls about honoring loved ones’ remains, the meaning of suffering, and the nuances of righteousness. Connie - Does your father still remember the old music you talk about? (02:21) J.C. - I appreciate the list you are sharing. It makes me want to show more love for my dad. (08:00) Mary - My dad taught me how to drive, and I am thankful for that. Because of that, I got into a 30-year driving career. (12:51) Mary - My sisters and I split the remains of my mother (before I knew we shouldn’t do that). My sister passed away and her nephew offered me some of her remains. Should I have accepted her remains? (14:02) Rhonda - Why are sheep venerated in the Bible when goats are not? (21:24) Karen (email) – I went back to confession thanks to Patrick (29:31) Todd (email) - Might we be doing students a disservice by tempting them through potential peer pressure or a go-with-the-flow mentality to receive communion when they may not be predisposed to receive? (32:24) Using soft LED lights led to an 84% drop in suicide attempts in Japan (40:38) Matt - Can you talk about the difference between imputation of righteousness and infused righteousness? How to Protestants misuse passages here? (45:01)

Skincare has never been more confusing (or more aggressive) and in this episode, your favorite celebrity's favorite esthetician, Shani Darden, is giving her unfiltered take on what actually works for good skin… and what's mostly just really good marketing.We talk about why sun damage is still the biggest issue she sees, when lasers can be helpful and when they can actually backfire, how to use retinol correctly on both your face and your body, and what peels really work for scars and pigmentation. We also get into LED masks, overhyped beauty categories, desert-island products, and the easiest ways to make your skin look better fast.Plus, we have some fun talking about the weirdest beauty products she's ever tried and things we've both been influenced to buy on TikTok Shop.
