It seems like the frequency of weather-related disasters is increasing. Across the US we're seeing wildfires, tropical storms and hurricanes, extreme heat, extreme cold with snow or ice. And torrential rain leading to a loss of property, life, and livelihoods. What's more, similar extreme events are happening across the globe. These disasters all can have an impact on our food supply and the ability of people to access food. Today, we're speaking with environmental sustainability management expert, Betsy Albright, who is an associate professor of the practice at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. Betsy's research centers on how policies and decisions are made in response to weather related disasters. Interview Summary Betsy, I've been wanting to have you on the podcast for a while, so I'm excited to get you now. So, let's begin with the first broad question. I'd be really interested to learn a little bit more about your research to make sure that our listeners are up to date on it. And I know you really study disasters, but could you explain or expand on what that really means for our listeners? I'm an environmental social scientist who studies the human and social side of disasters. And I ask questions about how climate related disasters or climate driven disasters, or weather disasters affect communities and households. And how individuals perceive risks from disasters, how they're affected by disasters, how they learn from make changes and adapt after disasters. My work started with my dissertation in central Europe. I had a Fulbright in Hungary. But from then I've expanded and moved most of my work to the US context. And our research team and I have done work on flooding and wildfires in Colorado, hurricanes in North Carolina. And I'm also working on a study of the flows of disaster assistance funds from FEMA to communities. And all of this is with or through a lens of equity or inequities and thinking about that across the disaster cycle. This is really important, and I remember being at a conference with you and learning about your work. And I was struck by what happens after the disaster. And in particular what happens to availability of food. And I work with the food bank here in North Carolina. And one of the things I know is when there is a disaster, like when Helene hit Asheville, there are real challenges in getting food out to people. Does your work touch on those topics as well? Yes. I would not say that our work centers on food, but food definitely intersects across all phases of the disaster cycle from preparing for disaster, experiencing disaster, the immediate response- that food bank getting food out- to long term recovery and thinking about risk mitigation. And we can think about that, you know, through a number of different lenses. Both on the food access side, but also on the food systems agriculture side as well. As I mentioned earlier, I take an equity lens on much of the work that we do. It's really important to recognize that disasters hit unevenly across society, across the landscape. Disproportionately they magnify social and environmental stressors that are already there. Communities with limited access to wealth, limited access to food, who are underserved, rural communities, racialized communities, often experience greater impacts from disasters. Disasters occur on top of histories of disenfranchisement. For example, centuries of marginalization of the minoritized Romani peoples of Central Europe they've seen great impacts from flooding. And in North Carolina, Black and African American communities whose ancestors were enslaved and suffered land loss through racist systems of who gets access to loans, access to land ownership. And because of these systems and processes, communities, families, individuals may live on marginal lands, may not own their lands. Their lands may be more prone to flood risk. May be underserved. Their housing may be more at risk. They may rent and not own. May have less agency and resources to repair their homes. And may have less trust in government and government systems. So really thinking about all of that, and then piling on disasters over these centuries of marginalization, disenfranchisement, underinvestment is really critical when trying to disentangle all these processes and develop policy solutions. This is really fascinating work and so thank you for laying out the sort of reality of the experience of disasters where people who have been marginalized may have difficulty accessing resources or there may be some concerns about trust. Broadly, we're interested also in the food system, and I'd be interested to understand how, when disasters strike, do you see effects upon the food system or the food system responding to these disasters? Recognizing that some individuals have higher food stress, even without a disaster, they may have higher pollutant burden because they live next to a concentrated animal feed lot operation. They may have weaker infrastructure systems: electricity, transportation, because of disinvestment. And so, when a disaster strikes, pollution loads may increase, access to food becomes even more of a challenge. Food stress increases. For example, in North Carolina, across the Southeast and further in the United States, Latino migrant farm workers face higher risks during hurricanes and floodings because of barriers, like limited access to emergency information and Spanish language barriers, fears about government intervention, fears tied to immigration status, housing conditions, lack of transportation. And these factors can delay access to food, evacuation, reduce preparedness, slow recovery. And yes, it's a challenge to really think then hard about what policy solutions make sense. That does make me also appreciate when we think about some of the folks involved in the food system, that the disruption that a disaster can bring will also mean a loss of employment or opportunities to continue earning income. And that seems to be a sort of a knock-on effect of these disasters. It's not just the immediate weather event. It's all of the other things that follow afterwards. Yes. And so when thinking about policy solutions, I really think it's critical to address these inequities even outside of the disaster cycle, or outside of the framing of disasters. And can we think about and develop ways, for example, to do reduce the risks of concentrated animal feedlot operations in North Carolina. Other ways for more resilient and sustainable and local ways of farming that minimize environmental risks, increase wealth, increase jobs, access to jobs. That then, when disaster strikes, are going to be more resilient because they're more resilient even before disasters. You know, I'd like to see greater investment in areas of food access, strengthening support for farm workers, encouraging development of local food hubs. Also thinking about making food access hubs more resilient to extreme weather events. Maybe elevating them, getting them all generators or solar microgrids. So that when disaster does happen, they're more resilient and then they can serve as community hubs with less reliance on supply chains at the national level. Really, coming back local, mutual aid, supporting each other, community supporting communities, non-governmental organizations, government, faith-based organizations strengthening local food systems. Also, everything that I just said for food I also think for health. You know, access to healthcare goes along with access to food in terms of critical infrastructure for community to flourish. And so, making sure there are local hospitals, not just in time of disaster, but in time of not disaster. So, expedite funding for small businesses, for neighborhood organizations, neighbors getting to know neighbors in disasters. Neighbors relying on neighbors. And that's critical. Anything we can do to build up networks. And that doesn't necessarily have to be government intervention. That could be faith-based organizations, churches, working with communities. It could be Little Leagues. There's lots of different ways to help build that social infrastructure that's so critical during disasters. Betsy, thank you for that. And as I hear you talk about these issues, what I am grateful for is we normally talk about food and the food system, but it's a parallel reality of what happens with the healthcare system when the disaster strikes. I can only imagine if someone is in need of a certain medicine when the disaster hits access to that medicine may be called into question as happens with food. But one of the big things I get out of what you're saying is we need to build resilient communities. Not when the disaster happens but do that work now. How do we create mutual aid? How do we create actual neighborhoods that know what's going on and to care for one another. Because it's that THAT helps us through these difficult times. Is that a fair assessment? Yes. That's more well said than I said it. So yes. Thank you. I am so grateful for this. Betsy, is there anything else we should think about when it comes to disasters and the food system or how we should prepare for disasters in the future? One thing that I didn't emphasize that my early work really looked at is how we grow food. And in Central Europe and Hungary in the area that I studied, this large-scale infrastructure on land that had previously, centuries ago, been wetlands. And then was drained for large scale agricultural systems, not unlike what we see in much of the Midwest of the United States. But as climate change worsens, we're seeing more extreme rain events. It's becoming harder and harder to basically fight against these floods in our agricultural system. And so really rethinking. What a resilient kind of agroecological system could look like on the food growing side. And that could be issues of what is grown, that could be issues of scale, thinking about maybe we need to put more land aside and not farm. But really thinking hard about how we incentivize, how do we set up insurance to help mitigate some of the risks. But I think that's going to be one of the major challenges moving forward.

Coach Steve Bent / Essex Town Little League stopped by the show to talk about the Championship 2025 Season and the season ahead.

The guys break down a wild listener idea should the Jets sign Daniel Jones just to sabotage the Colts' draft pick? Then it's Yankees vs. Mets beef, as the crew uncovers New York's shadiest social media move (RIP Giancarlo's childhood Mets hat), an urban legend about Andy Pettitte, George Steinbrenner, and a certain blue-and-orange Little League cap, and Ken Griffey Jr. drops one of the greatest one-liners in sports history. Plus: Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson's passive-aggressive podcast tour, and Miami of Ohio's undefeated season flying under the radar.

The Yankees tried to post a wholesome throwback… and may have accidentally created a rivalry controversy. Evan and Tiki react to a Yankees social media post showing childhood photos of players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. The problem? Internet sleuths quickly noticed something strange about Stanton's Little League photo. His hat looked edited and fans soon discovered why: the original image appears to show Stanton wearing a Mets hat, which the Yankees seemingly removed before posting. So why edit it at all? The guys debate whether the Yankees were trying to avoid trolling from Mets fans, protect their brand, or if this was just unnecessary “little brother” behavior from baseball's most powerful franchise. The conversation spirals into classic Yankees-Mets rivalry stories, including a legendary George Steinbrenner urban legend involving Andy Pettitte, Little League hats, and the Mets that may or may not have actually happened. Plus, they break down why something as small as a childhood photo can turn into a full-blown New York sports debate. A simple throwback post… or the pettiest Yankees move ever?

Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.”   *Transcription Below*   About Dr. Morgan Cutlip:  It's hard to know where to start so I'll start with what matters most to me and that's my relationships.   I'm a mother to two kids, Effie (12) and Roy (9). They are hilarious, spirited, spicy, deeply thoughtful and emotional kids. I adore them and being their mother. They've challenged me in the most surprising and wonderful ways. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Chad. I always feel like I lose a little street cred when I say that so, for the record, we didn't date that entire time and eventually reconnected years after college on MySpace (yup, now I've aged myself). He's the love of my life, an incredible man that loves others deeply, works so very hard, and continues to be open to growth and change.   I've worked in the field of relationship education for over 15 years alongside my father, Dr. John Van Epp, who is the founder of Love Thinks and developer of multiple relationship education courses that have been taught to over a million people worldwide. I started traveling to conferences with him when I was in junior high and so, in many ways, it feels like I've grown up in the relationship education field. He's amazing and brilliant and I'm blessed to have learned so much from him over the years we worked together and just cherish our relationship.   I distinctly remember a conversation with my dad over 20 years ago where I said that someday I wanted to support women, but I just wasn't sure how.   Fast forward 10 years and Effie (our oldest) was born and, holy moly, did motherhood hit me like a ton of bricks and I completely lost myself in motherhood (you can read the full story in my book).

Understanding the True Landscape of Community Services United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley is tackling one of the region's most persistent questions: Are there too many nonprofits, and do they overlap in their services? To find definitive answers, CEO Andy Gail announced a comprehensive regional nonprofit survey during a recent episode of The Valley Today with host Janet Michael. "We've heard so many people from elected officials to community members say, 'Oh, there's so many nonprofits. There's a bunch of overlap,'" Andy explains. "We said, let's actually get the data and provide real answers instead of conjecture." Beyond the Numbers: What the Survey Reveals The survey goes far deeper than simply counting organizations. Instead, it captures critical details about each nonprofit's operations, including their specific programs, service areas, collaboration efforts, and capacity challenges. Participating organizations answer questions about which populations they serve, whether they're meeting current demand, how many people sit on waiting lists, and crucially, what services they believe are missing in the region. Moreover, the survey asks nonprofits to identify their biggest challenges and common misconceptions about their work. Early responses already reveal telling patterns: funding remains the top concern, with organizations citing high food costs, rising demands, and aging volunteer bases as significant obstacles. A 21-Minute Investment with Lasting Impact While Andy initially worried the survey might take up to an hour, data shows nonprofits complete it in an average of 21 minutes and 47 seconds. The survey accommodates organizations with multiple programs, allowing them to detail up to five programs with specific information about each one. Furthermore, United Way has made the process as accessible as possible. Organizations can access the survey through the United Way NSV website, and Andy's team is reaching out through multiple channels—including chambers of commerce, email blasts, and social media—to ensure every nonprofit in Winchester, Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Shenandoah, and Page counties has the opportunity to participate. Collaboration Over Competition Contrary to popular belief, local nonprofits aren't fighting for territory. Instead, they're increasingly working together to maximize their impact. Andy highlights several successful partnerships that emerged simply from United Way facilitating introductions between organizations doing similar work. "There's this misconception that we're all competing," he notes. "While in some cases, yeah, you are competing for grants, you're competing for visibility, it's really not that way. No one is out to get anyone." For example, Winchester CCAP recently received United Way's largest grant—$50,000—and has since expanded to seven collaborative partners, all working together to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to food-insecure residents. Similarly, organizations serving individuals with intellectual disabilities in Shenandoah County have formalized an alliance after United Way connected them, positioning themselves to pursue larger regional funding opportunities. Dispelling the Overlap Myth When people claim there are "too many" nonprofits, they often misunderstand what that number represents. Andy clarifies that while the IRS lists over 400 tax-exempt organizations in Winchester alone, these include various categories beyond traditional human service nonprofits. "A 501(c)(3) is what we're talking about—organizations eligible for tax-deductible charitable donations," he explains. "But there are also 501(c)(4) advocacy groups, (c)(6) chambers of commerce, (c)(7) recreational clubs like Little League teams. When you filter down to human services organizations actually serving our local community, the picture looks very different." Additionally, even among similar services, nonprofits often serve distinct needs. Food pantries, for instance, may appear redundant until you consider that some operate as drive-throughs while others accommodate walk-up clients, some distribute in mornings while others serve evening hours for working families. These organizations increasingly coordinate to ensure they're complementing rather than duplicating each other's efforts. The Funding Reality One critical misconception the survey will help address concerns nonprofit funding sources. Many community members assume local nonprofits receive substantial government support, but the reality tells a different story. "City of Winchester used to give out local funding but stopped that program back in 2016, 2017, 2018," Andy reveals. "The county still gives a little, but when federal funding cuts happened recently, we lost over $2 million from our local nonprofit space. The localities simply can't make that up—the city would have to raise taxes through the roof." Consequently, local nonprofits rely heavily on private philanthropy and strategic partnerships to stretch every dollar. United Way itself demonstrates this efficiency: every dollar invested now generates $1.77 in community impact through their grants and collaborative initiatives. Andy's goal is to reach a 2:1 return by fostering even more collaboration. Building a Living Resource Guide The survey data will serve multiple purposes beyond answering the overlap question. First, United Way will create an updated public-facing resource guide, replacing their 2022 printed version with a searchable online database. Second, they'll share the information with Virginia 211, the statewide resource navigation hub, ensuring residents can easily find help when they need it. Third, and perhaps most importantly, the data will inform community leaders, funders, and elected officials about actual service gaps and needs. When nonprofits—the organizations on the front lines—identify missing services or insufficient capacity, their insights carry significant weight. "They're the ones dealing with people," Janet emphasizes. "If you've not been in one of those situations, you don't really know what they may need at any point in that journey." A Call to Action United Way is accepting survey responses throughout February, with plans to analyze the data in March and release a comprehensive community report in the second quarter of 2025. Nonprofit leaders, board members, and volunteers can access the survey at unitedwaynsv.org or by contacting the organization directly at info@unitedwaynsv.org or 540-536-1610. As the region faces a frigid winter weekend, Janet offers a practical suggestion: "What better way to spend it? Spend 20 minutes of your time filling out a survey." Ultimately, this initiative represents more than data collection. It's an investment in understanding and strengthening the safety net that supports the Valley's most vulnerable residents. By mapping the nonprofit landscape with precision, United Way aims to foster collaboration, eliminate inefficiencies, and ensure every dollar donated creates maximum impact in the community.

You sound great on Sunday, but is your team actually healthy? You've probably felt it before. Sunday afternoon hits and instead of feeling energized, you're frustrated. Something didn't go the way you planned. Someone didn't show up prepared. A transition fell apart. And now you can't stop replaying it. Sunday bleeds into Monday. Monday into Tuesday. One rough service and your whole week feels off. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. After 20+ years of leading worship, our new podcast host Keith Elgin hit that same wall. And what he discovered on the other side completely transformed how he leads, how he builds teams, and how he thinks about worship ministry. In this episode, Keith shares what finally broke the cycle for him, the framework he now uses to build healthy teams, and the hard lessons he learned so you don't have to. If you've ever: • Gone home Sunday afternoon replaying every mistake • Wondered why your team sounds tight but feels disconnected • Struggled with burnout, frustration, or questioned whether you're even cut out for this This conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Keith isn't sharing theory. He's sharing what he learned in the trenches, leading real teams, making real mistakes, and finding a better way forward. This is the conversation every worship leader needs to hear. ABOUT KEITH ELGIN Keith Elgin is a worship pastor, songwriter, and coach with over 20 years of ministry experience.

In this powerhouse segment from The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards sits down with State Rep. Fred Shanks for a no-holds-barred chat on hot Mississippi and national issues. They kick off with the "Kraken" finally unleashing in Fulton County—six years after 2020—with DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard on the ground auditing ballots amid desperate reactions from election officials that scream guilt. Clay and Fred speculate on potential foreign ties (Venezuela? China?) and celebrate the momentum, even floating a bold "Trump 2028" reclaim.   Shifting to local streets, they break down Rep. Shonda Yates' bill to seize vehicles in drag racing busts. As fellow reformed South Jackson car guys, they support hitting organized chaos—like trailer queens flipping on Medgar Evers—while protecting casual enthusiasts from overreach. No more shutting down city blocks for high-stakes bets; it's time for real teeth in enforcement, inspired by JPD and Capitol PD feedback.   Finally, Fred draws from his 30 years as a pharmacist to expose the PBM racket—pharmacy benefit managers owned by big insurers and chains like CVS, clawing back millions and forcing independents to close. They call for transparency and reform to save community lifelines that sponsor Little Leagues, deliver midnight meds, and beat big-box prices. Listeners: Contact your reps to push PBM changes before independents vanish.   Unfiltered insights on accountability, street safety, and small-business survival—straight talk from two Mississippi originals.

The Next Time Might Be the Last Time Your Child Plays Baseball In this episode, host Deven Morgan delivers a comprehensive ABCA convention recap and gets personal about what it means to coach his son—possibly for the last time. The bulk of the show tracks Deven's ongoing mission to establish universal pitch count standards and cross-organizational reporting, from presenting directly to MLB and USA Baseball, to navigating the politics of getting Little League, Perfect Game, USSSA, and private equity-backed leagues to buy in. He breaks down new MLB data showing 34% of Tommy John surgeries from 2010–2022 were performed on players 17 and under, reinforces the case for a "coalition of the willing," and recaps his speaking slot on the MLB Arm Care Panel. Along the way, Deven takes a swing at lacrosse marketing ("America's oldest sport"—miss me with that), unpacks the multi-sport vs. single-sport debate by emphasizing that athletic development must accompany skill work, and announces a podcast-exclusive 25% discount on Driveline youth assessments. The episode closes with an emotional reflection on coaching Danny into third base during a recent scrimmage—connecting that moment to a nine-year-old version of the same kid sliding into the same bag years earlier—and a reminder to every youth coach: the next time might be the last time.Timestamps00:00 Intro01:45 Housekeeping: AxeBat code DL2002:05 NEW: 25% off youth assessments (code: PODCAST)04:30 Lacrosse "America's oldest sport" rant08:35 ABCa recap: universal pitch counts & reporting12:50 Presenting to MLB & USA Baseball15:15 Coalition of the willing & Youth Summit progress18:00 Pitch Smart 1.0 politics21:55 Pitch Safe app & Pulse workload data27:30 MLB updating pitch guidelines28:55 New data: 34% of TJ surgeries are 17-and-under30:00 Coaching in the HitTrax cage with AxeBat33:10 MLB Network filming & Arm Care Panel prep35:25 Youth Hot Stove panel recap38:30 Multi-sport play deep dive45:10 College recruiting: athleticism vs. skill46:15 Scrimmage story: last time coaching Danny?48:45 The triple—"to me, to me, to me"52:30 Flashback: nine-year-old Danny, same bag58:40 The next time might be the last time1:03:45 "This Week in Pitch Counts" returns1:05:20 Outro

Conservatives want to be left alone. They have families, jobs, churches, hobbies. They love their country, but they stay busy and comfortable. Politics feels like something for other people — activists, ideologues, the perpetually aggrieved. The Left may dream of tearing the system down in a fiery Marxist revolution, but one solid vote every couple of years or so should keep the crazies in check. Then it's back to work, back to Little League, back to the barbecue. That belief sustained many on the Right for decades. It has become a liability.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: January 21, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS10: E2: Earl Slick (David Bowie / John Lennon) - The Six String SagaSHOW SUMMARY:The guitar can talk if you let it. That's the lesson Earl Slick brings to the table—equal parts groove, grit, and a sharp sense of what a song really needs. We sat down to trace his path from Little League dreams to stages with David Bowie and John Lennon, and the result is a candid masterclass on rhythm, taste, and integrity. He doesn't chase trends or pedals; he chases feel. He'll tell you why the best job in rock might be the sideman who keeps the front person free, and how a two-bar hook can make a track immortal.  We dive into the sessions that defined him. With Bowie, Slick had full creative trust and learned to build parts that breathe—signature licks, precise space, and a stage sense that let the star step back when needed. With Lennon, he was the “wild card,” the street player alongside seasoned readers, there to inject heart. He unpacks tone philosophy in plain terms: light bodies for resonance, Telecasters kept honest, Gibson acoustics that bloom, fuzz as spice, and a pedalboard that leaves plenty to your hands. It's practical wisdom for players at any level, from studio pros to weekend warriors.  Slick doesn't dodge the hard stuff. He talks about anxiety, isolation off the road, and the healing power of telling the truth. His definition of success is refreshingly simple: play the guitar, take care of your family, pay the mortgage, and sleep at night. We explore his Slick guitar line—lighter builds, quality hardware, workable prices—and his advice for the next generation: get in a room with a drummer and bass player, let the first take speak, and don't mistake social media for a career. There's new music, a heartfelt David Johansen tribute, and studio experiments on the horizon, all grounded in the same ethic: rhythm first, ego last.  If you love real stories from the engine room of rock—Bowie, Lennon, hooks that stick, tone that breathes—this conversation will stay with you.

Fraud does not just happen in big corporations. It happens in nonprofits too, often quietly and over time. In this episode, CPA and nonprofit practice leader Brian Carter joins the show to explain how fraud and abuse actually occur inside nonprofit organizations. Using real examples from a major health foundation and a local Little League, Brian breaks down why audits do not always catch fraud, how weak internal controls create opportunity, and what board members should realistically be doing to protect the mission and the money. If you serve on a nonprofit board or work closely with one, this conversation offers practical guidance on governance, fiduciary responsibility, and how to spot problems before they spiral.
