In this inspiring episode, we sit down with three of our own CFEMC linemen who recently joined 11 fellow Georgia lineworkers on a life-changing mission to the village of Guadalupe, Guatemala through NRECA International.For two weeks, they worked in challenging conditions—battling intense heat, rugged terrain and plenty of insects—to bring something many of us take for granted: electricity. Together, their efforts helped deliver power to more than 65 homes that had never had it before.They share what it was really like on the ground—from the physical demands of the work to the emotional impact of flipping the switch for the first time. Hear firsthand how lights, outlets and opportunity came to life for families and schools, and why they describe the experience as both humbling and deeply fulfilling.This is more than a story about linework—it's about service, connection, and the power of making a difference.

If you have a dark room in your home, are there any tricks to light it up naturally?This week, the Home Squad are here to discuss lighting for a dark room!Joining Andrea to discuss is Jenny Sheehan, Co-Host of ‘Rip it up: The Renovations Podcast' (@workerscottage on Instagram) and Interior Stylist Sarah Doyle of Retwiggd.

If you look to the west after sunset you'll see two bright lights in the early evening sky. Those 'stars' are actually Venus and Jupiter. Astronomer and Associate with Blackrock Observatory, Frances McCarthy has more.

A start up company Reflect Orbital is proposing to launch 50,000 satellite mirrors by 2035 to illuminate solar panels on Earth all night long. This would be devastating for human sleep cycles, birds, insects, plants  and many of the biological systems of organisms on which we all depend. 

EPISODE: 354In this episode, we go behind the scenes of one of the most ambitious lighting projects imaginable—illuminating the Hoover Dam for a major event. What began as a simple question, "Can we light it up and make it a wow?" quickly turned into a race against time as the team navigated complex technical challenges, rigging logistics, weather concerns, and the sheer scale of one of America's most iconic structures.The conversation explores how rapid decision-making, deep technical knowledge, and seamless collaboration between lighting and rigging teams made the project possible. From receiving the call to standing at the dam just two hours later, the story highlights the importance of preparation, adaptability, and trust when executing high-stakes live event productions.Whether you're a production professional or simply fascinated by what happens behind the curtain, this episode offers a compelling look at how creativity and technical expertise come together to transform an engineering marvel into a breathtaking visual spectacle.This episode is brought to you by Main Light, Delicate Productions and Artistry In Motion

Would You Survive This Marriage… or Run for the Hills? “If love looks like sarcasm, separate bedrooms, and zero sappy moments… is that still a happy marriage?” That's the question that kicks off one of the most hilariously honest episodes of The JB and Sandy Show—and it only gets better from there. From the very first laugh, JB, Sandy, and Tricia pull you into a morning packed with relatable moments, unexpected confessions, and the kind of humor you don't hear anywhere else. It starts simple enough: why do we all pretend to do math in our heads while secretly hoping someone else answers first?One standout moment dives into the idea of “kidult playtime”—yes, adults reconnecting with childhood hobbies to relieve stress. While the idea sounds wholesome, the reactions are anything but. “I hated those things when I was a kid—I don't want to do them now,” becomes an instant classic line, sparking a conversation about what actually helps us unwind. Then there's the high-energy Minute to Win It game, where contestant Parker races against the clock to answer “ridiculously easy” questions—and nearly loses it all on the final one. The tension, the simplicity, and the payoff make it one of the most fun segments of the episode. But the real heart (and comedy gold) comes from Sandy and Tricia's marriage—a relationship that completely flips the script on what you'd expect. After 18 years together, romance isn't exactly their thing. They don't exchange sweet goodnights… they “shoot each other the finger.” They don't share a bedroom… and they wouldn't have it any other way. When Sandy tells Tricia, “You look so beautiful with the sunlight bouncing off your face,” her reaction? “Oh my God, what made you think of that? It just makes me want to turn it inside out.” It's brutally honest. It's wildly funny. And it raises a surprisingly thoughtful question: what does a successful relationship really look like? The episode wraps with an open call to listeners—are there other couples out there like this? Because if there are, JB and Tricia want to hear from you.  Why You'll Want to Listen: Laugh out loud at painfully relatable everyday moments Hear one of the most unconventional (and entertaining) takes on marriage Play along with the easiest trivia game that somehow still feels stressful Get a dose of real, unfiltered morning radio chemistry  Memorable Moments & Quotes: “If we're both doing math in our heads, I'm just pretending—it's all on you.” “I hated those things when I was a kid. I don't want to do them now.” “We did not marry our best friend.” “It just makes me want to turn it inside out.” If this episode made you laugh, cringe, or nod in agreement, don't keep it to yourself—subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a good laugh today. Your support helps more listeners find the chaos and comedy of JB and Sandy!

Melbourne has been gripped by a new wave of underworld gang wars, this time fueled by the booming billion dollar black-market tobacco trade. Firebombings, drive-by shootings, and extortion targeting shops across the city have roiled the city as middle eastern syndicates and biker gangs fight over profit. At the center of the chaos is underworld figure Kaz Hamad, whose name keeps surfacing as rival crime crews battle for control of a trade worth tens of millions. Deported to Iraq, he kept running the racket remotely until his arrest in early 2026, blazing a path of ruthlessness that authorities seem incapable of stopping. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Macon It, we sit down with Bryan Nichols, the mind and creative force behind the Macon Christmas Light Extravaganza. Bryan shares how the (Christmas) light bulb first went on in his head for this idea, the huge amount of behind-the-scenes work that goes into bringing downtown to life each holiday season, and why Macon's light show is unlike anything else in the country. We also talk through Bryan's many contributions to Macon's creative landscape and how his vision continues to shape the way our community celebrates together.

All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams. Dreams involve the light of consciousness interacting with the unconscious mind. Light and consciousness are indivisible. Dreams reveal how our inner light interacts with our subconscious mind to show us deep truths about our lives. The unconscious is unavailable for analysis because there is no separate self to observe it. The ego creates a sense of separated self and by waking from this illusion we open up to pure awareness and discover the true genius within us. Spiritual Life Center is an Interfaith, Unity community located in Sacramento, California for spiritual seekers and life explorers. We honor the many paths to God and support people of all faiths in learning and applying positive spiritual principles in their daily lives.

Our being has many frequencies of aliveness and as we attend to the more subtle, we discover a portal to the radiant awareness that is always here. This meditation guides us in using the breath and attention as we scan through the body and awaken an inner luminosity. We then open the attention to rest in the whole field of awake awareness.
