Jedna z prvních věcí, kterou po volbách uděláme, bude zrušení televizního a rozhlasového poplatku, slibuje hnutí ANO. Plány na zásadní změny týkající se ČT a ČRo mají i další opoziční strany. Máme se o veřejnoprávní média bát?Hostem Ptám se já byl bývalý ředitel ČT a ředitel Nadačního fondu Vltavské filharmonie Petr Dvořák.Poté, co Rada České televize letos na jaře odvolala z funkce generálního ředitele Jana Součka a vybrala jako jeho nástupce Hynka Chudárka, zažívá ČT relativně klidné období. To by se ale mohlo změnit už po podzimních sněmovních volbách. Opoziční strany, mezi nimi i dosavadní favorit voleb, hnutí ANO, totiž prohlašují, že provedou zásadní změny ve financování a fungování veřejnoprávních médií. Bývalý šéf televize Petr Dvořák je zatím optimistický: „Současný management České televize patřil k mým nejbližším spolupracovníkům 12 let. A já věřím tomu, že i v tom tandemu, který nakonec z volby vypadl, to znamená generální ředitel Hynek Chudárek a jeho statutární zástupce Milan Fridrich, přispěje k tomu, že televize se nebude užírat nějakými vnitřními spory a nastartuje přesně tím směrem, aby se dokázala obhájit.“Nové vedení televize by podle něj ale mělo v příštím půlroce jasně říct, jak a kam hodlá investovat peníze z navýšených poplatků. ČT a zejména její zpravodajství před sebou má podle Dvořáka také další velký úkol. „A to je vrátit důvěryhodnost, která za poslední rok a půl klesla o asi šest nebo sedm procentních bodů, což je poměrně zásadní. Tohle je věc, které by se teď vedení zpravodajství mělo velmi intenzivně věnovat.“„Myslím, že jedním z důvodů, proč byl Jan Souček odvolán, bylo i to, že ve zpravodajství se děly věci, které se těžko vysvětlují. A sám za sebe musím říct, že se mě to také i osobně dotýkalo v momentě, kdy jsem viděl, jak tam vzniká tlak na Václava Moravce. Byl jsem nervózní, když jsem viděl, jakým způsobem, kdy a s jakým vysvětlením došlo ke zrušení 168 hodin,“ prohlásil bývalý ředitel ČT. Pomohla, nebo uškodila veřejnoprávním médiím bitva vládní koalice o zvýšení poplatků? V jaké kondici je Česká televize po dramatické výměně na pozici ředitele? A jak zásadní je pro Prahu projekt Vltavské filharmonie.--Podcast Ptám se já.

Mississippi Politico Pete Perry hosted The Extra Mile Podcast at his Neshoba County Fair cabin. Topics of conversation included Ronald Reagan's memorable fair speech, musings on MDOT, thoughts on Jackson's future and more.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Garrett Dawe, engineer of traffic and safety for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), talks about a pilot project to study the use of safety cameras for automated enforcement in school zones. An appropriation in the Fiscal Year 2025 state budget called for MDOT to conduct a pilot project on automated speed enforcement in school zones. Dawe explains that his team has been studying proposals and will make an announcement soon of a vendor to conduct the pilot. According to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), at least 12 states (Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia and Washington) conduct school-zone automated speed enforcement. In Georgia and Rhode Island, school zones are the only locations where automated speed enforcement is allowed in the state. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics, between 2011 and 2020,  218 school-age children (ages 18 and younger) died in school transportation-related crashes; 44 were occupants of school transportation vehicles, 83 were occupants of other vehicles, 85 were pedestrians, five were bicyclists and one was an “other” nonoccupant. 

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation with Gregg Brunner, chief operations officer at the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), about recent deadly crashes in or near work zones. On June 24, a truck driver was killed and MDOT workers were injured in a crash on I-75 in Monroe County. In another, July 1, two people were killed in a crash in a work zone queue on I-96 west of Portland. Brunner composed a poignant message to department employees with a reminder of the need to be vigilant about safety. From his message:                We talk often about safety, but these events are painful reminders of just how critical it is every single day, in every single task. Whether you're in a work zone, near active traffic, in one of our garages or facilities, or behind the wheel, your actions matter. Safety is a mindset, not a checklist. It's about being present, engaged and always looking out for one another. Brunner talked about benefits to be found in developments in technology to alert drivers and the promise of driver-assist technologies in vehicles, as outlined by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

MDOT Human Resources Director Terrance Yarbrough joined The Extra Mile Podcast to talk about how his background in psychology relates to HR, various careers at the agency, a burgeoning intern program, and more.

This week's edition of the Talking Michigan Podcast features a reprise of a 2022 conversation with a veteran Michigan pollster about the public's view of road conditions, repairs and funding. At the time, the pollster, Richard Czuba, talked about perceptions of improvements because of Gov. Whitmer's Rebuilding Michigan program, which allowed MDOT officials to capitalize on a favorable bond market to rebuild many of the state's busiest roads. The department leveraged debt to make vital improvements, but the need for a sustainable funding solution persists.

After a long hiatus, Michigan is again implementing ramp metering, which helps regulate the flow of traffic from ramps onto busy freeways. It will be used on the I-96 Flex Route portion in western Oakland County.On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Sarah Gill, operations engineer for the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Metro Region, talks about how it will work and the history of ramp metering in Michigan. Gill explains the key reasons for implementing ramp metering, which include improving merging, reducing crashes and reducing travel times. An MDOT how-to video offers guidance on the concept.Next week's episode will delve farther into the topic and include conversations with a traffic safety engineer with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), who will talk about how successful the concept has been in the rapidly growing Denver area. You'll also hear a national perspective from the director of safety and mobility at the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation with a trunkline pavement strategy specialist about how the work in his area helps inform investment decisions. Tim Lemon, who works in the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Bureau of Transportation Planning, talks about how pavement condition is measured and how the data is used.  He explains that remaining service life (RSL) is MDOT's primary pavement condition performance measure, which indicates the number of years before the pavement is anticipated to reach poor condition. It reflects the anticipated time in years that a pavement section can continue to provide acceptable levels of service, considering factors such as distress, structural integrity, ride quality, and functionality. He also explains that while state trunklines (I, M and US routes) don't account for the majority of road miles in the state, they carry 53 percent of total traffic and more than 75 percent of commercial traffic in Michigan. 

Earth Week 2025 came with a positive development for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) on efforts to implement a pilot program for analyzing wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) and learn ways to design safer crossings.Amanda Novak, a resource specialist in MDOT's Bay Region, returns to the podcast to talk about a recently awarded $476,000 federal grant and how it will be put toward the pilot program. She previously spoke about the grant on the podcast in September 2024.While we think of white-tailed deer most commonly when it comes to WVCs, other species to be considered include elk, moose, black bear, wild turkey, pine marten, eastern massasauga rattlesnake and Blanding's turtle. As laid out in the project abstract for the grant, the number of WVCs in Michigan continues to increase annually, worsening risks and costs to drivers. For example, white-tailed deer alone account for more than 55,000 WVCs and cost motorists an average of $130 million per year in Michigan. Additionally, WVCs are a major threat to many wildlife populations in the state, including documented impacts on several threatened and endangered species. Projected increases in tourism, housing development and climate change effects are likely to exacerbate WVC effects on motorists and wildlife in Michigan.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation with Brian Travis, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) project manager overseeing the rebuilding of the central segment of I-696.  The work, which began in March and will continue through most of 2027, involves closing the eastbound lanes of I-696 from M-10 and Lahser Road east to I-75.  Travis explains that this is the last of three phases of the "Restore the Reuther" project, a $275 million rebuilding of the freeway. In 2019, the state completed work along the easternmost portion, along with the western end in 2023 and 2024. The conversation also includes an update on MDOT's second flex route, this one on I-96 in Oakland County. The project is nearing completion as crews prepare for the use of ramp metering to regulate the flow of traffic to the freeway. A video explains the benefits of the flex route and ramp metering.

A few days after a massive ice storm rocked northern lower Michigan, many thousands remain without power while crews from power companies, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and other state and local agencies continue the cleanup and rebuilding process.Bill Wahl, MDOT North Region associate engineer for operations, who is coordinating department efforts, joins the podcast to provide an update on the recovery.Also joining is James Lake, MDOT North Region media relations specialist, who assists the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) with communications. He talks about why falling ice necessitated closing the bridge three times in three days, including a record 30-hour period.Wahl and Lake grew up in the region and neither has seen anything like this ice storm and the resulting destruction. Wahl recounts utility workers who had been on power-restoration projects following hurricanes in the Southeast saying the scenes are as bad or worse as anything they've seen.Wahl says crews from several counties to the south, including Kent, Ottawa, Mason, Missaukee, Muskegon, Roscommon, Iosco and Wexford, were helping to clear roads.While the Mackinac Bridge re-opened Thursday morning, April 3, after a 30-hour closure, officials will continue to closely monitor conditions for falling ice. The MBA posted a video message on X from Bridge Director Kim Nowack about the falling ice, along with some photos from the bridge. More videos of falling ice that prompted the current closure were also posted on X. The bridge has closed roughly 30 times in the past 30 years, and the average closure duration is several hours. More frequently asked questions about falling ice and other topics are available on the MBA website.

When approaching a flashing red traffic light, drivers must come to a complete stop. An intersection with flashing red lights in all directions should be treated as a four-way stop. In the event of a power outage, treat dark traffic lights as a stop sign and intersections as a four-way stop. .Money Talks, one of our MPB local shows heard at 9am just before In Legal Terms on Tuesday, is also a podcast.

In this episode of the "Modern Day Overthinker" podcast, host Collin Strajack talks with guest Bailee Huethert about personal struggles and recovery, particularly in the context of addiction. Bailee shares her journey into recovery, which began unexpectedly during a work trip away from familiar support structures, leading her to her first recovery meeting. She delves into the challenges of recovery, emphasizing the difference between mere abstinence and true recovery, a distinction highlighted by her father's insights. A significant part of the conversation focuses on Bailee's battles with mental health issues, including severe depression diagnosed from a young age, and her complex relationship with her mother, which feeds into her complex PTSD. She discusses the importance of support systems and being truthful in therapeutic settings to truly benefit from them.

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Margaret Barondess, a manager in the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) environmental section who is retiring from state government, reflects on her career. More than 50 years ago, Congress adopted the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Barondess, who worked for MDOT for 33 years, explains how the act informs planning for transportation projects in Michigan and department efforts to at once protect our air, waterways, wildlife, and plants and minimize inconvenience to travelers. While critics of NEPA have argued for scaling back the need for environmental impact statements, supporters tout NEPA's role in saving money, time, lives, historical sites, endangered species and public lands while encouraging compromise and cultivating better projects with more public support. Barondess also talks about the challenges and rewards she and her team have experienced in recent years, including the success protecting some threatened species on a segment of I-75 in Monroe County with a corridor conservation action plan. 

One of the projects in Detroit that's gotten a lot of attention locally and nationally is the proposed removal of the I-375 freeway in downtown Detroit and turning it back into something that fits with the fabric of a community. Eric Larson, head of the Downtown Detroit Partnership, sat down with us in studio to share his thoughts on why the I-375 project is more than just a standard infrastructure upgrade. Initially conceived as a bridge repair effort, the project has evolved into a significant opportunity to reimagine Detroit's transportation landscape. With support from the Biden administration and a $105 million federal commitment, the project aims to reconnect communities, enhance pedestrian-friendliness, and address past harms inflicted on historic neighborhoods like Black Bottom and Paradise Valley. The conversation covers the Downtown Detroit Partnership's role in ensuring the project reflects the city's broader vision for sustainable urban development. Larson discusses the balance between maintaining traffic flow for major events and creating a livable environment for everyday residents. He emphasizes the importance of community engagement and innovative traffic management solutions to address concerns about speed and access. The episode also touches on the potential integration of the I-375 project with the separate I-75 caps initiative, highlighting the need for coordinated urban planning to maximize benefits for Detroit's diverse communities. With construction slated to begin next year, Larson urges listeners to participate in upcoming community meetings and provide input on the project's future.
