With the passage of President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, numerous Biden-era clean energy incentives will begin to phase out. Many of those incentives were aimed at onshoring energy and battery manufacturing. Energy demand is only expected to rise as more data centers are built to service AI and electric and autonomous vehicles become more widespread. And storage for that energy has to come from somewhere. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino speaks with Jeremy Michalek, a professor of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University, about the impacts of the Big Beautiful Bill clean energy rollbacks.

But that's not reality for many people.  More older Americans are entering retirement weighed down with debt in the form of mortgages, credit card balances, medical bills and even student loans.  MPR News host Angela Davis talks with guests about what's behind the trend of rising debt in retirement, what lies ahead and ideas for tackling it. Guests: Chris Farrell is the senior economics contributor at MPR News and Marketplace and author of the recent 12-part series on Marketplace and Next Avenue, Buy Now, Pay Later, about the debt burden of older Americans nearing and during retirement.

What happens when someone finally reaches out for help, only to be overwhelmed by confusing restrictions and insurance barriers? Louise has the answers.In this vital episode, Louise will help you understand what your insurance plans actually cover and why individuals with the same diagnosis can face vastly different hurdles depending on their plan type, state, or provider network. We'll delve into critical questions like what to ask your insurer before seeking therapy or substance use treatment, why coverage rules differ across various plan types (employer, Marketplace, Medicare, Medicaid), and how short-term or limited benefit plans can leave consumers exposed.You'll gain crucial insights into why even mental health parity laws don't always guarantee access and learn practical steps to find out if your health plan truly covers the mental health treatment you need.

Welcome to The Shawn Bolz Show! Today, we're diving into two of the most controversial and culture-shaping conversations happening right now. First up: the Turning Point event in Florida revealed a deep divide within the Republican Party. While many on the Right are demanding accountability for the Epstein scandal and the massive injustice surrounding child trafficking, key party leaders seem to be dodging the issue—despite once championing it. With frustration growing inside the MAGA movement, we're asking: Is this the beginning of a civil war within the party? What happens when trust erodes between the base and its leaders? Then, we're shifting gears to explore the body positivity movement—and how it's facing a major cultural turning point. The recent headlines around Lizzo stepping back from the "big is beautiful" narrative have sparked renewed debate. She, along with others, is now emphasizing health over image, even renouncing some of the extreme expressions of the movement. Is pop culture moving toward a more balanced view—one that celebrates health, not extremes? Join us as we break down the spiritual, cultural, and political implications of these stories—and what they reveal about the deeper shifts happening in our world right now.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we examine Shopify's proactive stance on AI agent regulation. Shopify is drawing boundaries around agentic AI with new language in merchant websites' robots.txt files, stating "scraping, buy from me agents, or any end-to-end flow that completes payment without a final review step is not permitted." The move shows Shopify thinking ahead to protect its ecosystem while directing legitimate integrators to use official APIs.
