In this episode of Research Like a Pro, Diana and Nicole discuss how to choose a favorite photo out of a large collection. Diana shares a photo of her grandfather, Edward Raymond Kelsey, on his horse, Pal, and talks about his love for horses. She experimented with using AI to analyze the photo and shares her findings. Diana used Mark Thompson's Historical Photo Analyzer custom GPT and was impressed with the results. The AI provided details about the setting, clothing, and objects in the photo. With the additional information Diana provided, such as her grandfather's name, the AI was able to give more specific details. Diana also shares the results of her additional research about the photographer and the Cassia County Sheriff's Mounted Posse. Listeners will learn how to use AI to analyze their own historical photos and will be inspired to research the stories behind their favorite photos. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

Do Boiling Water Taps save you money?They're often seen in offices but boiling water taps are increasingly popular for the home kitchen too. They hold hot water at a constant temperature in a tank under your sink and claim to save you money compared to boiling a regular kettle. But does the evidence back up the marketing hype?Listener Jenny got in touch with Sliced Bread because she's upgrading her kitchen and is thinking about investing in a boiling water tap. She's keen to know how the figures for daily use stack up - and if there IS a saving how long it would take before she gets her money back on the original outlay. And then there's maintenance too...Greg is joined in the studio by Jenny and energy expert Mark Thompson to crunch the numbers, along with Debbie Birkbeck from Stopcocks Women Plumbers.

On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Donald Trump signed an executive order releasing the JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. files. Will we finally find out whether the CIA was involved? Trump's ICE raids have already begun in Boston, New York, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, and Alabama, and hundreds of illegal aliens are being deported. CNN crumbles as CEO Mark Thompson tells Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper how to be journalists. He also announces that there will be massive layoffs at CNN. As Donald Trump begins firing all DEI hires from the Biden administration, many leftists are changing their job titles to avoid the purge. President Trump escorts JD Vance on his first visit to the Oval Office and is blown away. Sara is joined today by BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden and Jaco Booyens, host of "The Bottom Line."

We have an incredible panel on today's show to savor all the America first action President Trump took this week. To no one's surprise, Biden was lying, all it took was ICE to actually do their job to see results. Tom Homan has reported that apprehensions are done to 766, compared to the outrageous 10,000 - 12,000 during Biden and ICE has arrested over 460 criminals. DEI is done for but the swamp creatures at the ATF and CBP are just changing titles on their profiles, it's only a matter of time before Trump truths at them "you're fired." President Trump asked for an apology from the woke Bishop that is using her time to squeeze 10 seconds of fame out of leftist media outlets. Mark Thompson is the boss over at CNN and is currently laying off hundreds of employees, you have to watch today's show to find out who we think needs to be fired. The week has some winners and some losers, stick around to the end to find out who they are.
