A recent NBC News poll analyzed by CNN's Harry Enten shows President Trump maintaining 100% approval among self-identified MAGA Republicans, with zero disapproval, which Enten compared to the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins. This perfect support level highlights unbreakable loyalty within Trump's core MAGA base, even as broader public opinion faces challenges. Despite the ongoing Iran conflict driving up oil prices and contributing to inflation concerns, Trump has not lost any support from MAGA voters, according to the data. Enten emphasized that the MAGA coalition remains as strong as — or slightly larger than — it was during the 2024 election, with no signs of fracture in this key group, which could energize Republican turnout and primary dynamics heading into the 2026 midterm elections.

WhoTim Smith, President and General Manager of Waterville Valley, New HampshireRecorded onNovember 12, 2025About Waterville ValleyClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: The Sununu FamilyLocated in: Waterville Valley, New HampshireYear founded: 1966Pass affiliations:* Indy Pass, Indy+ Pass: 2 days, no blackouts* White Mountain Super Pass: unlimited, no blackouts* Indy Learn-to-Turn: 3 days, includes rentals, lesson, lift ticket; limited lift access* Ski New Hampshire Kids Passport: 1 day with holiday blackouts* Uphill New England: no lift accessBase elevation: 1,984 feet (highest in New Hampshire, 3rd in New England)Summit elevation: 4,004 feet (2nd-highest in New Hampshire, 5th in New England)Vertical drop: 2,020 feet (4th-highest in New Hampshire, 14th in New England)Skiable acres: 265Average annual snowfall: 148 inchesTrail count: 62 (14% novice, 64% intermediate, 22% advanced)Lift count: 10 (1 six-pack, 1 high-speed quad, 2 triples, 2 doubles, 2 T-bars, 2 carpets)Why I interviewed himWell no one wants to hear this but we got to $300 lift tickets the same way we got to $80,000 pickup trucks. We're Americans Goddamnit and we just can't do stickshifts and we sure as s**t ain't standin' up on our skis to ride back up the mountain. It's pure agony you see. We need us a nine-pack chairlift with a bubble and a breakroom and a minibar and surround sound and Lazy-Boy seats and hell no we ain't ridin' it with eight strangers we'll hold back and take a whole chair to our ownselves. And it needs to move fast, Son. Like embarrass-the-Concord fast because God help us we spend more than 90 seconds with our own thoughts.I'm not aiming to get kicked out of America here, but if I may submit a few requests regarding our self-inflicted false price floors. I would like the option of purchasing a brand-new car with a manual transmission and windows rolled up and down with a hand-crank. I would like to keep pedaling my bicycle. I would like to cut the number of holidays with commercial mandates by 80 percent. I would prefer that we not set the air-conditioners to 60 when it's 65 degrees outside. This doesn't mean I want to get rid of all the air-conditioners but could we maybe take it easy on the frostbite-in-July overkill of it all?My Heretic Wishlist for American Skiing includes but is not limited to: more surface lifts, especially to serve terrain parks, high-altitude exposed terrain, and expert pods; on-resort lodging that does not still require a commute-by-personal-vehicle to reach the lifts; and thoughtful terrain management that retains ungroomed sections for skiers who like things about skiing other than going fast.Waterville Valley is doing all of these things. It is perhaps the only major American ski area in decades to replace a chairlift with a surface lift on a non-beginner terrain pod, and the only one to build two new T-bars this century. A planned gondola would connect Waterville Valley the town with Waterville Valley the ski area, correcting an only-in-America setup that separates these inseparable places by two miles of road. The glade network grows annually in both subtle and obvious ways.This is not a ski area going in reverse. Waterville is modern and keeps modernizing. The four-year-old Tecumseh bubble six-pack, though bookended with T-bars, is one of the nicest chairlifts in America. Skiers still go groomer-kaboom on morning cord. Suburban office-park dads with interstate commutes and a habit of lecturing the Facebook Commons about the virtues of snow tires can still park their 42-wheel-drive Abrams-Caterpillar-F-15,000 Tanktruck in sub-parking lot 42Z and walk uphill to the lifts. But Waterville Valley is one of a handful of American ski areas, along with Killington and Deer Valley and Winter Park, that is embracing all of our luxe cultural excesses while pursuing the very un-American ambition of putting more skiers close to skiing.No ski area is perfect. For all the cash saved on those T-bars, peak-day Waterville lift tickets still hit $145. The mountain's season pass is the second-most expensive single-mountain season passes in New England – more than a top-line Epic Pass (an adult WV pass includes a free pass for a kid age 6 to 12, which is great if you have one of those). That's bold pricing for the 22nd-largest ski area in New England, especially one that still spins three Stadeli chairlifts that predate the extinction of the dinosaurs. And two high-speed chairlifts is not a lot of high-speed chairlifts for a 2,000-vertical-foot ski area (though about half of New England's 2,000-footers run just two or fewer detaches).Yeah I know. Sick burn from someone who was waxing about surface lifts four paragraphs ago. I may have collected too many ski area Lego blocks in my mental bucket, and they don't always click together back here on planet Earth. “More villages,” I say while dismissing Aspen as a subsidized simulacrum of itself. “Big fast lifts rule,” I say while setting off fire alarms as first-generation chairlifts disintegrate and the cost of their most basic replacements escalates. “No-grooming, all-glades makes the best ski area,” I say, while condemning resort operators for $356 lift tickets that dam the masses. “Vail is too expensive,” I say. “Vail is too cheap,” I also say. “Modernize our chairlifts,” I say while celebrating the joy of riding an antique Riblet double. I endorse ski areas splitting off from conglomerates and ski areas joining them. These narratives can feel contradictory at best and schizophrenic at worst.But that tension is part of what draws me to lift-served ski areas, where two things central to my worldview – wild nature and human invention – merge. Or perhaps more accurately, collide. Both forces act at all times not only to extinguish one another, but themselves: above-freezing temps trash two feet of new snow; bad liftline management cancels out the capacity benefits of a $12 million lift upgrade. Making a ski area function, then, requires continual tweaking, of both the nuanced and look-at-us-press-release variety. A ski area is a business, sure, but that's almost a coincidence. The act of building and running a ski area is foremost an art, architecture, and engineering project that requires a somewhat madcap conductor to succeed. As with any artform, there is no one correct and final way to build a ski area. The variety is central to skiing's appeal. But there are operator/artist attributes - flexibility, inventiveness, consistency tempered by openness to change - that contribute to the overall quality and cohesion of the individual ski area experience in the context of competing ski areas. In the current version of Waterville Valley, we find one of our best contemporary examples of a ski area evolving toward the best version of itself under the stewardship of owners and managers possessing exactly these traits.What we talked aboutThe return of World Cup training and events to Waterville; drifting away from and back toward freeskiing culture; the best terrain parks in New England; why terrain parks are drifting away from mega-features; what happened to all the halfpipes?; and ramps?; no really no one wore helmets in the ‘90s; building terrain parks before institutional knowledge and the internet; the lost Hidden Valley, Wisconsin ski area; the rise of the high-speed ropetow; why Waterville replaced one T-bar and one Poma with a new T-bar (rather than a chairlift); why Waterville installed night skiing; the return of the Exhibition terrain park; self-installing the World Cup T-bar; Waterville's ops blog; why the Tecumseh Express sixer needed new bubbles after just a couple of seasons; why bubbles cost so much and how Waterville manufactured a less expensive one; Tecumseh's incredible wind resistance; MND lifts as an alternative to the two large U.S.-based lift manufacturers; a chairlift's “infancy” and how different 2020s lift technology is from early detachable tech; how Waterville's masterplan would reorient the mountain and skier traffic with an expansion and new lifts; Waterville's declining skier visits and whether that's a bad thing; how the resort's 1994 bankruptcy changed Waterville's trajectory; what stoked the Green Peak expansion; “we've been on a track to try to rebuild that energy we saw in the 1990s”; why Waterville turned away from discounting; “the right quantity of skiers on the right amount of surface”; building more terrain diversity; and a gondola connection from town to mountain.Should someone tell them they're running it backwards? Video by Stuart Winchester.What I got wrong* I said that the “High Country double chair was still standing” – what I meant was that parts of it were still in place. The top terminal remains, sans bullwheel, and the base terminal and motor room remain as a patrol shack:* I said that Waterville hadn't been known for terrain parks until recently, but Smith recalled that the ski area was more freestyle-centric from the ‘70s through the ‘90s, before pulling back during the first part of this century.* I said that 1,100 skiers per hour was “a little less than what a double chair would move,” thinking standard capacity for a double was 1,200 per hour. Smith says it is 900. Exact capacity varies from lift-to-lift, however. Lift Blog itemizes hourly capacities of between 800 and 1,200 for four of Smugglers' Notch's double chairs, between 1,000 and 1,200 for four of Mt. Spokane's fleet of Riblet doubles, and 1,000 for Waterville's Lower Meadows double. We all know, however, that the hourly capacity for a double chair is however many people are in line minus the number not paying attention minus singles who refuse to ride with anyone. So I don't know maybe 50.Podcast NotesOn other mentioned podcasts* World Cup competition returning to Sun Valley:* Heavenly backing out of mega-parks features:* Killington and the cost of bubbles:* Waterville part 1, from 2021:On Partek and each lift being differentOn Waterville's ownership historyFounder Tom Corcoran owned Waterville Valley from 1966 until 1994, when he sold to American Skiing Company (ASC) antecedent S-K-I. The feds made ASC dispense with Waterville and Cranmore when they merged with LBO Enterprises in 1996. Booth Creek (more on them below), bought the ski area and held it until 2010, when they sold it to the Sununu family. This makes Waterville one of just a handful of ski areas to ever enter a multi-mountain pass portfolio and then exit to independence - though Killington and Ragged recently did exactly that, and Eldora may follow.On Mt. Holiday, MichiganThis is just a little 200-footer, but it's still around on the outskirts of Traverse City, Michigan:That trailmap doesn't really communicate the ski area's essence. A little better are these pics I took on a summertime swing-through a few years back:I never skied there though, always preferring the far-larger Sugar Loaf, right down the road (which Smith and I also discussed):Until it was abandoned around 2000, this was one of the better ski areas in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. After a succession of owners - one of whom stripped all the chairlifts off the bump - failed to bring skiing back, the Leelanau Conservancy recently took ownership of the property. Skiing will return as an officially sanctioned activity, though unfortunately without a lift or snowmaking. I would have at least liked to have seen a ropetow. Here's their vision:On midwestskier.com Yes, Kids, the internet really did used to look like this:On Hidden Valley, WisconsinHere's a little ski hill that didn't make it. Smith spent time at Hidden Valley, Wisconsin, which opened in 1956 and closed forever in 2013. The chairlift appears to have been moved to nearby, county-run Kewaunee Winter Park, where it awaits installation.On high-speed ropetowsI am a huge fan of high-speed ropetows, which are a cheap and effective means to isolate users of terrain parks or other specialized, intensive-use zones from the broader ski area. Here's one at Spirit Mountain, Minnesota in 2023 (video by Stuart Winchester):On Waterville Valley's masterplanThis is perhaps the best angle of how Waterville's expansion would connect the legacy trail network to the town:Here's the Forest Service masterplan slide:Neither of these images, however, show how the gondola would eventually connect down into town, which is the crucial element of transforming Waterville Valley from a ski-area-that-says-it's-a-ski-resort into an actual ski resort. Here's a look at that connection:Waterville set up an excellent microsite detailing the hoped-for evolution.On Booth CreekAt the mid-90s height of American Skiing Company dominance, a former Vail executive assembled a cross-country ski area portfolio with ambitions of creating a hub-and-spoke network:Booth Creek ultimately sold off most of its properties, but still own Sierra-at-Tahoe. Grand Targhee GM Geordie Gillett was involved in the whole saga and broke it down for us in 2024:On Waterville going from one of the oldest lift fleets in New England to one of the most modernWhile Waterville runs some of the last Stadeli lifts in America (I count 16), the ski area has modernized extensively over the past decade:On U.S. Forest Service ski areas in the EastMost (109) of the 119 active U.S. ski areas on United States Forest Service leases sit in the West; two are in the Midwest, and eight are in the East: Bromley, Mount Snow, and Sugarbush, Vermont; Waterville Valley, Loon, Attitash, and Wildcat, New Hampshire; and Timberline, West Virginia. None, as far as I know, sit entirely within the boundaries of a national forest, but even partial overlap triggers the requirement to submit an updated masterplan each decade.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

From Sony's dynamic pricing drama to Xbox's Project Helix and a heated console‑war showdown, The Game Deflators tackle the week's biggest gaming battles. This week on The Game Deflators, John and Ryan bring a mix of pickups, industry news, rumors, and retro gaming heat. The episode kicks off with recent game pickups and collectible finds, including some unexpected retro scores and additions to the shelf. From there, the guys dive into their current gaming sessions, sharing progress updates and the titles that have been dominating their playtime. The conversation shifts into Lego and gaming crossovers, including the newly surfaced Mario miniature and the rumored Lego PlayStation 1 set that has collectors buzzing. Whether it's legit or just another internet fever dream, the guys break down why this rumor has so much traction. Next, the crew turns to Microsoft's next‑generation Xbox initiative, Project Helix. Rather than dissecting technical specs, John and Ryan focus on the broader implications — how Helix fits into Microsoft's evolving ecosystem strategy, what it signals for the future of Xbox hardware, and why the industry is paying close attention. That naturally leads into a spirited discussion on the Console Wars, comparing the shifting dynamics between Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam. With each platform carving out a different identity, the guys explore where the competition is heating up and where the lines are starting to blur. The episode then pivots to Sony's newly uncovered dynamic pricing tests, where PlayStation Store users across multiple regions are seeing different prices for the same games. The hosts unpack what this A/B testing could mean for digital storefronts, consumer trust, and the future of game pricing. Finally, the Inflation Deflation Challenge returns with a look at Cool Spot, the 7UP mascot platformer that's equal parts nostalgia and oddity. John and Ryan revisit the game's charm, gameplay, and current market value to determine whether this retro collectible is inflating or deflating in today's market.   00:00 Intro 02:28 Recent Game Pickups and Collectibles 12:11 Current Gaming Sessions and Progress 17:52 Lego and Gaming Updates: Mario Miniature and LEgo PS1 27:15 Microsoft's Next Generation Xbox Insights 30:09 The Console Wars: Xbox vs. PlayStation vs. Steam 35:24 Sony Dynamic Pricing in Gaming: A New Approach 49:35 Inflation Deflation Challenge: Cool Spot Review   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators   The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

Justin sits down with Allison Skidmore, Chief Customer Officer at Optimizely, the world's first operating system for marketing teams.Allison brings a rich perspective shaped by stints at Adobe, Stackla, Gigya, and SAP across Asia Pacific before landing in the US to lead customer success at Optimizely. This episode explores how AI is fundamentally reshaping the marketer's daily workflow, what great onboarding looks like in an AI-native world, and what the CCO role must become as organizations race to stay ahead.Episode Notes & Key Topics1. Allison's Career JourneyStarted in SEM at a Sydney agency later acquired by Adobe, rode the wave of digital marketing's early SaaS transition.Spent six years at Adobe running customer success across Asia Pacific, building offshore teams and subscription services models.Moved through Stackla and Gigya (acquired by SAP nine months in), then scaled the CS role across all SAP lines of business in APAC.Joined Optimizely two years ago after reconnecting with CEO Alex Atzberger, bringing global enterprise CS experience to a fast-growing martech platform.2. What Stays the Same in Customer SuccessThe sales-to-CS handover friction is timeless: it never goes away regardless of company size or stage.Digital-first customer engagement (email, offshore teams, automation) has been a constant scaling challenge for decades.The shift from time-and-materials professional services to subscription models remains a dominant trend.Tech advancements create the inflection points:  AI is today's example.3. AI and the Marketer's Day-in-the-LifeAllison paints a vivid picture: by 10 AM, an AI-enabled marketer has completed a full week's worth of work.Optimizely's Opal AI product is provisioned across the entire team, enabling agent building, workflow automation, and access to tools like Claude and Gemini.The opportunity is not just efficiency, it's the ability to pull forward backlogged work and shrink implementation timelines (e.g., from 12 months to 3).The companies moving fastest are the ones blocking calendar time to train their teams on prompting and agent-building, not just giving access.4. Reimagining Onboarding and the Customer JourneyAllison's framework: great onboarding is the seamless alignment of three channels, human-to-human touchpoints, email marketing, and in-product experience.Customers now expect to self-serve answers (just like asking AI instead of calling a mechanic), human-heavy onboarding alone no longer cuts it.Consistency is the key: the message the customer gets in the product, in their inbox, and from their CSM should be identical, no basic repeats, no skipped steps.5. The Evolving Role of the CCOThe C-suite fundamentals don't change: stay curious, solve problems, skate to where the puck is going.Today, the puck is AI.  If you can't build an agent, you can't expect your team to.Allison is actively realigning roles, KPIs, and commissions around AI-native execution.The CCO who can't leverage AI to scale themselves and reimagine their business will become extinct, just like Blockbuster.Lego is the positive model: reinvention again and again.6. What's Top of Mind for 2026AI continues to dominate, but the customer journey evolution is a close second.Consumers are shifting from Google to ChatGPT and similar tools, which means brands must optimize for GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), not just SEO.Personalization is entering a new era:  every touchpoint, not just the website.

Star Wars news has a lot to do with Galaxy's Edge and Video Games. Then James tells us all about a guy named Obi-Wan Kenobi? Finally: The bricks are back in the sandbox, and this time they brought history with them. In this episode, we dive into “Lego Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past”, the latest chapter in the delightfully scrambled galaxy far, far away. If you thought canon was sturdy, this special gleefully pops it apart like a Millennium Falcon mid-hyperdrive tune-up and snaps it back together in ways that would make even Darth Vader tilt his helmet. We break down the biggest twists, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it deep cuts, and the moments that had us pausing to say, “Wait… did they really just do that?” From unexpected character mashups to lore-bending brick wizardry, this installment leans fully into playful chaos while still sneaking in heartfelt beats under the plastic sheen. We also talk about how the special connects to the larger LEGO Star Wars universe, what longtime fans of Star Wars will appreciate most, and whether this story truly honors the “pieces of the past” or just joyfully rearranges them. Is it a clever remix of galactic history? A nostalgia-powered starfighter? Or just pure LEGO-fueled fun with a hyperdrive strapped to it? Grab your kyber crystals and your brick separators. It's time to rebuild the galaxy… again.

Sie dachte wohl, es merkt keiner! Es ist zwar schon zwei Bundestagswahlen her, und dennoch ist das Baywatch-Berlin-Trio der Altkanzlerin auf die Schliche gekommen. Während sich die ganze Welt über die bröckelnde Demokratie sorgt, regiert sie einfach heimlich weiter und sendet ihre Botschaften als mysteriöse Schattenkönigin übers Internet und kommuniziert mittlerweile ausschließlich über Instagram Reels. Was wirkt wie ein lieb gemeinter Beautytipp an Journalistin Jagoda Marinić („Wenn Sie die Kopfhörer aufsetzen, sehen Sie nachher nicht so gut aus im Fernsehen“) ist in Wahrheit nur eine codierte Message an ein geheimes Netzwerk und irgendwo in Deutschland ziehen sich zwei Agenten die Jacken an. Ist aber natürlich nur eine Theorie und frei nach Naidoos These über Menschenfleisch in Kartoffelchips, soll auch hier erstmal einer das Gegenteil beweisen – so lange betrachten wir das als Fakt. Im heiteren Teil der aktuellen Ausgabe dreht es sich natürlich auch um viele leichtere Themen: Hinter welchem Berliner Bahnhof kann man am besten wichsen? Ab wann ist das ein Hobby und wenn nicht: Was soll man bitte sonst den ganzen Tag machen im zweiten Lebensdrittel? Enden wir dann alle wie Thomas Schmitt, der seinen skandinavischen Hyggetraum aus Versehen mit Katzenspielzeug und Legoset zur RTL2-Muffbude runtermöbelt? Oder wie Klaas, der im eigenen Flur zusammenbricht, weil die Beine „einfach nicht mehr wollen“? Jakob ist da besser drauf: Seine Hobbys sind nach wie vor Butter Lindner, Geld und von der Arbeit nach Hause fahren. Wenn Sie sich daran ein Beispiel nehmen, sind Sie auf der sicheren Seite!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. We of course set the game first in its time and at Nintendo before turning to the opening and the feel of the game. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Through the first Clock Tower entry Issues covered: our ten-year anniversary, 2000 in games, a little timeline of Zelda, making a sequel on a short development cycle, reusing engines and making a better version of your game, reusing technology, switching from cartridges to optical media, asset reuse for characters, pricing changes and getting your money's worth, falling into the warm bath, consumptive conservatism, the strange opening and some title cards, us not remembering things about Navi, choosing the legend based on the hardware or the design idea, fitting the legends together, a continuation of Ocarina, film analogues, wanting to be in the room where it happened, presenting a known quest fabric to present you with not knowing very much, getting your ocarina back to reuse a mechanic, Skull Kid as marionette, getting new masks and therefore new powers, a diversion into a film, an unsettling feel to conversations, talking about RPGs and feeling the pressure of the main plot (or not), a lower-priority feature, thinking about your audience and what types of players you have, writing quality to support your main quest, admitting you're a video game, a debatable priority, building it into your character, how we play games heroically or not, where's the wish fulfillment.   Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: PlayStation 2, The Sims, Deus Ex, Final Fantasy IX, Diablo II, Baldur's Gate II, RE: Code Veronica, Chrono Cross, Pokemon Yellow, Thief II, SEGA DreamCast, Spyro: Year of the Dragon, Vagrant Story, SSX, Skies of Arcadia, Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Paper Mario, No One Lives Forever, Donkey Kong Country (GBC), Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Jet Set Radio, Star Wars: Starfighter (series), Smuggler's Run, Eiji Aonuma, Shigeru Miyamoto, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, Ultima (series), Warren Spector, Richard Garriott, Ultima Underworld, Jedi Knight, Outlaws, Full Throttle 2, RTX Red Rock, Gladius, SquareSoft, Nintendo 64/GameCube, Twilight Princess, Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft, LEGO, Capcom, Groundhog's Day, Outer Wilds, Rogue, Run Lola Run, A Trip to the Moon, Georges Méliès, Breath of the Wild, King of Masks, ColonelKovalyo, Morrowind/TES (series), Fallout (series), Metal Gear Solid, Republic Commando, Halo: Infinite, Paul Crocker, Troy Mashburn, Justin Dinges, Richard Lemarchand, Clint Hocking, Naughty Dog, Crystal Dynamics, Insomniac, Spider-Man (series), Sucker Punch, Ghosts of Tsushima (series), Sasha, Symphony of the Night, Lani Lum, Hitman (series), Dwarf Fortress, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Majora's Mask!

Joining the Project Purple Podcast from the Los Angeles area, film and television professional Matt Cassani sits down with host Dino Verrelli to share his experience being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at just 34 years old, and the long, uncertain road that followed. Matt opens up about the subtle but persistent symptoms he initially dismissed, including stomach discomfort and abdominal pressure, which he was initially told by doctors were diet-related. But when a coworker noticed he looked jaundiced during Mother's Day weekend last year, a visit to urgent care quickly escalated, leading to a shocking Stage 2 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. From there, everything moved quickly. Matt discusses starting chemotherapy at UCLA, undergoing the Whipple procedure, and just recently completing treatment after months of physical and mental challenges. He reflects on what it means to face a disease often labeled as “something older people get,” and how his diagnosis reshaped his understanding of cancer among younger adults. He speaks about carrying the BRCA-2 gene, the importance of genetic awareness, and why advocating for yourself, and knowing when something isn't right, can be life-saving. He also shares how stepping back from constant self-research, focusing on the present, and finding small grounding practices helped protect his mental health. Matt highlights the immense support of the people around him, the value of getting outside and celebrating small victories, and even the simple comforts that helped him cope, like building Legos and giving himself permission to enjoy treats along the way! Looking back, Matt describes pancreatic cancer as a painful, yet profound opportunity for reflection, one that ultimately pushed him to prioritize time with loved ones and approach life with deeper gratitude. Matt welcomes connection and can be found on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mattcassani/. Subscribe to the Project Purple Podcast for more stories from the pancreatic cancer community.

Matthew Carey, Co-Founder & CEO, Teradar, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the company's emergence from stealth with $150 million in funding and the creation of a brand-new category of terahertz (THz) sensors.The operational backbone of Teradar's strategy is a Terahertz Detection and Ranging (Rad-AR) approach that fills the gap between LiDAR and radar on the electromagnetic spectrum. By utilizing a modular architecture of Lego-like transmitter and receiver chips, the system provides the high-resolution point cloud typically associated with lidar while maintaining the all-weather robustness and velocity-sensing Doppler capabilities of radar. This solid-state design allows the sensor to be hidden behind vehicle bumpers or polymers, eliminating the need for bulky roof-mounted hardware.In the field, Teradar is rigorously applying its technology to solve the weather casino problem, proving the system's robustness in the heavy rain, snow, and dense fog of Boston. Unlike traditional vision or LiDAR systems that struggle with atmospheric particulates, Teradar's longer wavelengths can bend around rain and dust, ensuring consistent performance in environments where humans or other sensors might fail.Teradar's Physical AI ecosystem also includes a defense-grade application that provides situational awareness in combat environments without being easily detected. The atmosphere effectively blocks the sensor's signal beyond its intended range, allowing it to operate in dense traffic or military zones without jamming other sensors or revealing a vehicle's position to hostile actors.Looking ahead, Matt envisions a future where high-performance sensing reaches a mass-market inflection point by becoming affordable enough for every vehicle, from a Mercedes S-Class to a Ford Focus. By partnering with Tier 1 suppliers rather than vertically integrating, Teradar aims to scale to millions of units, fundamentally transforming the industry by delivering a sensor stack that costs hundreds, not thousands of dollars.Episode Chapters00:00 Teradar Emerges from Stealth03:01 Limitations of Existing Sensor Technologies05:54 Introducing Terahertz Sensing08:00 Defense and Battlefield Applications11:11 Modular Sensor Architecture17:00 Early Development and Startup Challenges26:54 Why Teradar Chose Boston36:11 Autonomous Vehicles and Weather46:06 Scaling Teradar--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the definitive media brand covering the Autonomy Economy™.

Published 9 March 2026 e543 with Andy, Michael and Michael – Stories and discussion on LEGO's new Smart Play brick, this is a human brain (cells) on Doom, orc audio for vibe coding, Liquid Death's Spotify urn for playlist immortality and a whole lot more. Michael, Michael and Andy get things rolling with Michael M's delivery of the newest innovation from LEGO, the Smart Play brick!   While Michael's only had a little bit of time to play with the new brick, it is already sparking some interesting ideas.  Check out the show notes below for what others are doing with it, now that the Smart Play brick is out and in the wild!  And of course the audio of the podcast for some of the sounds from the brick! An article about a biocomputing success to play Doom with human brain cells, reminds the cohosts of other biocomputing examples from e504.  The Ars Technica article about identifying anonymous users through LLMs likewise reminds the team of other examples for triangulating identity.  After a story about using the audio from Warcraft III in vibe coding experiences “work, work”, the team takes a look at “Humanity's Last Exam”, which likely has already been handled by an enterprising AI research team.   Turning next to a Norwegian PSA (that is NSFW and funny) on the slippery slope of digital products and services getting worse and worse, the team then considers a story about a partnership between Epic and Google for a new set of metaverse applications.  In yet another back to the future experience, the Niantic gaming functionality may provide a roadmap to how this partnership may grow. The team wraps up with a Liquid Death promo for how you may achieve musical immortality with a custom Spotify playlist played via a bluetooth urn.

Episode 289: TechTime Radio: This week, we open with Microsoft's Project Helix, the ambitious “one box to rule them all” promising native PC gaming, Wi‑Fi 7 speeds, and a next‑gen low‑latency controller. With a rumored $1,000 price and a 2027 release window, we dig into whether true backward compatibility across Xbox generations finally makes a premium console worth the splurge. Or should we pass on the New X-box for the rumored Steam Machines? What new gaming machine will be the SNES, and what unit will end up being the Virtual Boy? Then Gwen Way takes over Gadgets & Gear with a packed lineup, starting with the Pen Pulse Smart Ring on Kickstarter—sleep, activity, metabolism, and glucose‑leaning insights with no subscription and a practical sizing kit backed by an on‑time delivery history. We pair that with a hard look at Apple's $599 MacBook Neo hitting Walmart and Amazon, asking whether it's a budget Mac breakthrough or a Chromebook in a fancy suit. Finally, we have a nation‑state iOS exploit framework now circulating in criminal hands. Nathan spotlights Lego's reactive Smart Brick, and closes the segment with a smooth Glenlivet 12 tasting to keep things classy.Full Episode Details:A single box that runs Halo and Half‑Life without hacks? When Microsoft unveiled Project Helix, we dug into what it really means to merge Xbox simplicity with full PC gaming. From native access to Steam, Epic, and GOG to Wi‑Fi 7, a new low‑latency controller, and whispers of Surface‑team handhelds and OEM “Xbox” devices, the pitch is bold. But can a $1,000 hybrid win over builders who already plug their PCs into the living room? We map the business case, the tech hurdles, and the one promise that could flip skeptics into buyers: honest, full‑fidelity backward compatibility across the entire Xbox library.The episode takes a sharp turn into AI safety with a lawsuit tied to Google Gemini, forcing a conversation most platforms sidestep: what happens when users form emotional bonds with chatbots? We talk guardrails, roleplay, and the hard truth that you can't program remorse. If companies market “AI companions,” what duty do they owe when simulation bleeds into support? Expect a candid look at crisis detection, liability, and the growing gap between automated empathy and human care.On the hardware front, Apple's budget‑leaning MacBook Neo shows up at Walmart and Amazon for $599, raising eyebrows about specs, placement, and brand identity.

In this Box of Oddities bonus episode, “Freak Family Favorites,” Kat and Jethro dive into a wildly entertaining mix of listener mail, strange history, and bizarre real-world oddities that prove the world is far stranger than fiction. From mysterious rogue waves that can tower over ships to the bizarre story of the Great LEGO Spill of 1997, this episode explores the unpredictable forces of nature and the unexpected ways their effects ripple across the planet. You'll hear how a massive rogue wave struck the cargo ship Tokyo Express, sending millions of LEGO pieces into the ocean, where they've been washing up on beaches around the world for decades—turning into an accidental global science experiment tracking ocean currents and plastic pollution. But that's just the beginning. Kat and Jethro also explore the strange corners of history, including a jaw-dropping act of subtle protest during the World War II tribunal of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, when a Navy dental technician secretly engraved the phrase “Remember Pearl Harbor” in Morse code inside the dictator's dentures. Along the way, the Freak Family joins the conversation with unforgettable listener stories—like the uncanny moment when a podcast fact about the largest living organism on Earth (a massive mushroom) suddenly appeared on the side of a passing truck, or the tale of a rescued goat that accidentally ended up named after Kat. And because no Box of Oddities episode would be complete without a dive into humanity's wonderfully strange customs, Kat shares some of the most unusual wedding traditions from around the world—from couples being covered in spoiled food in Scotland to ceremonial arrow-shooting in China and even brides marrying trees to break ancient astrological curses. This bonus episode is packed with weird history, strange science, global traditions, and the delightfully bizarre stories that make the Freak Family one of the most unique podcast communities on Earth. If you love mysteries, curiosities, paranormal-adjacent history, and the wonderfully weird, this episode is your backstage pass to the strange world inside The Box of Oddities.

While most phone makers work hard to ensure their products don't start fires, Oukitel made a phone that starts fires on purpose. This week on The Vergecast, Dominic Preston joins Editor-in-Chief Nilay Patel to wrap up all the weird and wonderful phones he and the team saw at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Then, Sean Hollister takes us through Google and Epic's enemies-to-lovers saga: A secret $800 million deal, a non-disparagement agreement, and something about the metaverse for some reason. Plus: Nilay just had the best home movie experience of his life thanks to the Kaleidescape 8TB solid-state server, Dom's charging his smart phone on a mini racecar, and Sean delivers some disappointing news about the Lego smart brick we were all rooting for.

This episode kicks off with a look at the unconventional path of Steve Goodgame, whose journey from agriculture to the Executive Director of the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) proves that the best tech leaders often come from diverse backgrounds. Steve and Ashley discuss the fundamental shift needed in STEM: moving away from "Lego-style" instruction manuals and toward Inquiry-Based Learning. At KIPR, the goal isn't just to build a robot; it's to build a problem-solver who can handle the frustration of a failing sensor or a bug in the code. The heart of the technical discussion centers on Botball, KIPR's flagship program. For the tech crowd, the "hook" here is autonomy. Unlike typical RC-style competitions, Botball robots are fully autonomous, requiring students to write sophisticated code in C, C++, or Java. Steve explains how this creates a high-stakes environment where the robot must "think" for itself on the game board. They also touch on the Junior Botball Challenge, which scales these complex engineering concepts down for younger students without losing the technical rigor. As the conversation turns toward the future, Ashley and Steve tackle the "elephant in the room": Generative AI. They explore how AI is being integrated into the KIPR ecosystem, not as a way to "cheat," but as a high-level tutor that helps students debug embedded systems and refine their logic. This leads into a preview of the 2026 "Stack Attack" season and the upcoming Global Conference on Educational Robotics (GCER) in Norman, Oklahoma.  Whether you are a developer, an educator, or a tech enthusiast, this episode is a masterclass in how we can use robotics to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world execution.

Today's daily comedy episode proves two things: kids are expensive, and karaoke should absolutely require a permit.We kick things off with an email that had the entire studio arguing like a courtroom drama sponsored by Fisher-Price. A military family's kid chucks a Lego at a friend's 75-inch QLED TV (because of course it was a 75-inch QLED), leaving a tiny but permanent “oops” mark. They do the right thing and offer to replace it — $1,200 later — only to find out the “damaged” TV is getting relocated to the daughter's room. Wait… what? Is that justice? Is that capitalism? Is that just the cost of letting children exist in your home? Rizz, Moon, and King Scott debate responsibility, friendship, and whether the real solution is simply moving to a new town and changing your identity.Then we dive into the wildest dating trend we've heard in a while: “Alpine Divorce.” It sounds like a seasonal IPA. It is not. It's apparently when someone strands their partner in the wilderness as punishment. Romantic! Nothing says “I love you” like abandoning someone mid-hike because they forgot a water bottle. We unpack the psychology behind it and question how this is even a thing. Ghosting? Bad. Ghost-lighting? Worse. Alpine Divorce? Congratulations, you're on a watch list.And then — because we care about the people — we establish the official list of karaoke songs that should be considered arrestable offenses. Whitney Houston? Jail. Bohemian Rhapsody? Straight to court. “My Heart Will Go On”? Emotional felony. The crew breaks down the crimes, the charges, and the sentencing guidelines for murdering everyone's ears at your local bar. It's the kind of public service announcement only a true daily comedy show would dare to provide.Between parenting disasters, dating red flags, and musical war crimes, this episode has everything you expect from your favorite St. Louis daily comedy chaos factory.You've been warned.

And maybe don't bring your kids anywhere.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.She sang her national anthem during karaoke.

If you've ever thought, “What's the worst that could happen?” — today's episode of The Rizzuto Show answers that with: a Lego and a 75-inch QLED.We kick things off with a listener email that spirals faster than a toddler with building blocks. A military family makes new friends. Their kid launches a Lego. The Lego meets TV. The TV loses. Suddenly it's a $1,200 moral dilemma involving Amazon orders, Facebook Marketplace dreams, and whether you're entitled to the “damaged goods” after offering to replace it. Is it doing the right thing… or financing someone else's home upgrade? We debate it like the totally qualified life coaches we are. Spoiler: don't bring your kids anywhere. Ever.Then we dive headfirst into the latest dating insanity lighting up TikTok: Alpine Divorce — where someone literally leaves their partner stranded on a hike. Yes, this is apparently a thing. Yes, we're concerned. And yes, King Scott briefly considers whether he would've tried this in a past relationship. From narcissistic punishment hikes to ghostlighting (ghosting + gaslighting = modern romance), this comedy podcast unpacks the absolute circus that is dating in 2026.And because love clearly needed one more hit, divorce lawyers of Reddit reveal the pettiest reasons people filed for divorce. We're talking:• Asking how someone takes their coffee for seven years• Smacking lips while eating• $42,000 spent on psychic hotlines• Monitoring toilet paper usage like it's a federal auditSomewhere in here we accidentally hold a memorial for Ms. Cleo, question which professions cheat the most (uniforms… looking at you), and discover that apparently pharmacists are the gold standard of loyalty. Farmers too. Accountants are out here winning quietly.It's messy. It's chaotic. It's oddly therapeutic. It's exactly what a daily comedy podcast should be — friends arguing about nonsense while occasionally stumbling into real-life wisdom.If you came for thoughtful relationship guidance… lower your expectations immediately.If you came for laughs, weird news, and St. Louis morning show chaos — welcome home.This is The Rizzuto Show — your favorite daily comedy podcast where we solve nothing but talk about everything.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
