Returning guest Gaby Del Valle of The Verge is one of our go-to sources to talk about the crossover between the tech dystopia and America's increasingly nightmarish deportation machine. We talked about the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, some other examples of innocent people currently being targeted and the dubious legal framework being used to make it happen, the ICE snitching app that is actually promoting a meme coin (??) and, of course, Katy Perry in space.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITWhy do we call it "Good" Friday when it commemorates such a tragic event? This question launches us into a thought-provoking exploration of faith, justice, and contradictions that define our modern landscape.The episode takes a serious turn as we examine the troubling background of Carmelo Anthony's family spokesperson, Dominic Alexander. His extensive criminal history—including violent offenses against a child—raises profound questions about credibility and representation during times of crisis. When those who position themselves as advocates for justice have their own complicated relationship with the law, how should we respond?From there, we journey into the bizarre diplomatic saga unfolding between the United States and El Salvador. Senator Chris Van Hollen's meeting with alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia—complete with tropical drinks and photo opportunities—exemplifies the stark political divide in immigration enforcement. As politicians prioritize certain narratives, families of victims continue to express outrage at what they perceive as misplaced compassion.The Florida State University shooting presents another layer of complexity. The suspect, Phoenix Eichner, defies simple categorization—the son of a sheriff's deputy with law enforcement training experience who committed an unthinkable act of violence. His troubled childhood, including being taken abroad by his biological mother against custody agreements, adds dimensions to a story that ultimately ends with the tragic loss of innocent lives.We conclude with perhaps the most challenging question of all, perfectly timed for Easter reflection: "If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?" This powerful inquiry from listener Giblets invites us all to examine how our professed beliefs align with our daily actions. As we approach Easter Sunday, consider what evidence your life presents about your faith journey.What stories about justice and faith resonate most strongly with you?

The updated version, led by Rep. Sharon Cooper, allows access to puberty blockers but imposes stricter requirements, including evaluations by two behavioral health specialists and a pediatric endocrinologist. Critics argue the bill still limits parental rights and access to care, while supporters cite concerns over long-term effects like bone density loss. Medical experts remain divided, with major health organizations supporting gender-affirming care. The bill passed the House committee and awaits further votes, sparking ongoing debate over its implications. STORY 5: 'A Long Process': Marietta Cuts Ribbon on Powder Springs Streetscape Marietta celebrated the completion of its $12 million Powder Springs Street makeover with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The project, funded by 1% sales tax referendums, includes new sidewalks, landscaped medians, decorative lighting, and re-timed traffic signals, improving safety and traffic flow. Travel time has been reduced by up to two minutes, even during rush hour. The upgrades also feature a trail connecting to the Mountain to River Trail and aesthetic enhancements like matching stonework. Begun in 2021, the project faced delays due to supply chain issues but is now a key gateway to downtown Marietta. Future streetscape projects are planned.

S2 E32  Novio's Radio | Ring My Bell Bob Cutler shakes things up on Cocktails with Friends by introducing the Bell Shaker, a handbell-shaped Prohibition-era cocktail shaker, and using it to craft a Passion Fruit Daiquiri. He discusses cocktail trends, including the Paper Plane as 2025's Drink of the Year and the Espresso Martini craze possibly linked to Sabrina Carpenter's hit song. Bob also helps break down the top 10 most popular cocktails in the U.S., with Margaritas taking the top spot. Bob encourages listeners to experiment with different base spirits, calls for future Paper Plane mixing in the studio, and invites listeners to call the Cocktails with Friends Hotline for drink-related questions. Key Topics The Bell Shaker: A throwback to Prohibition-era mixology with a unique design. Cocktail Trends: Why the Espresso Martini peaked in 2024 and what's next with the Paper Plane. Top 10 Cocktails in the U.S.: Breaking down the most popular drinks and what makes them iconic. Episode Index (0:45) – The Bell Shaker: A Prohibition-Era Inspired Bar Tool A cocktail shaker shaped like a handbell, both functional and decorative. Shakes and strains through the handle, making it a unique conversation starter.   (3:30) – Mixing the Passion Fruit Daiquiri Ingredients: Dominican rum, Passoã passion fruit liqueur, simple syrup, lime juice. Shaken, not stirred—served in a coupe glass (or a plastic cup, if necessary).   (10:12) – Cocktail Trends & The Paper Plane The Espresso Martini dominated 2024, fueled by pop culture references.
