We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with Elvis Costello. ABOUT ELVIS COSTELLOReleased between 1977 and 1979, Elvis Costello's first three albums—My Aim is True, This Year's Model, and Armed Forces—were all included in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. That early period of his recording career yielded now-classic singles such as “Alison,” “Watching the Detectives,” “Pump it Up,” “Radio Radio,” “Oliver's Army,” “Accidents Will Happen,” and others.Though he established his career as a rock artist and reached commercial heights in the US with the pop hit “Everyday I Write the Book,” Costello's more than thirty studio albums cover a breathtaking range of stylistic ground, from Almost Blue, his early 1980s album of country covers, to The Juliet Letters, his 1993 collaboration with The Brodsky Quartet, to North, an album of ballads partially inspired by his wife Diana Krall that topped Billboard's Jazz chart in 2003, to Il Sogno, his first full-length orchestral work, which was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, and topped Billboard's classical chart in 2004, to Wise Up Ghost, a 2013 collaboration with Questlove and The Roots. In between, he's continued to release albums both solo and with his bands The Attractions, The Imposters, and The Sugarcanes. Always an adventurous collaborator, Costello entered into a fruitful songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney that yielded more than a dozen songs, including Costello's Top 10 single “Veronica” and McCartney's “My Brave Face.” He went on to release entire collaborative albums with Richard Harvey, Burt Bacharach, Allen Toussaint, and others. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson, as well as musical settings for lyrics by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. His songs have been covered by a range of artists including George Jones, Chet Baker, Dusty Springfield, and Solomon Burke. Costello has been nominated for fourteen Grammy awards, two of which he won, as well as an Academy Award for co-writing “The Scarlet Tide” with T-Bone Burnett for the film Cold Mountain. He has received two Ivor Novello awards for Songwriting, the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement in Songwriting award, and the ASCAP Founder's Award, which was presented by Burt Bacharach. He was inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and was named one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine. His genre-stretching new album, Hey Clockface, was recorded in Helsinki and Paris, and was released on October 30. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The first model trains were created by the German company Märklin as tinplate trains with clockwork wind-up mechanisms in 1890. In 1896, American engineers Carlisle & Finch created the first electric-powered train using a 10-volt motor and liquid chromite batteries. Then in 1901, Joshua Lionel Cowen created the first true electric model train called the Electric Express for a New York toy manufacturer window display. This launched the model train industry that grew to its hight point in the 1950s. Model trains become a defining part of American youth culture. The image of the train around the base of the Christmas tree became an iconic image of Americana. That history and legacy is still alive, and today once again the electric train is seeing a resurgence in American life. #BardsFM_TheAmericanBrand #ModelElectricTrains #BuildingDreams Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Partnered with a Survivor: David Mandel and Ruth Stearns Mandel
The conversation opens with End of the Year reflections and personal milestones—international book releases, masterclasses, collaborations and community work—and quickly moves to a timely, thorny question: can we talk honestly about male violence without “shaming” men? We take a stand for courage, honesty and clarity, using global data, real cases, and practical frameworks to show how accountability, truth about behaviours and their impact and compassion can live side by side. Our goal isn't to score points; it's to keep families safer, support children's well-being, and help men find a way back into healthy connection.We share insights from research in Australia, including applications of the Safe & Together Model in child and family services and in Aboriginal-led settings. That work underscores a core theme: organize around shared values, not shared trauma. We explain why labels and decontextual tags fail families, and why pattern-based, contextual practice—mapping behaviors, impacts, and risk—succeeds. Along the way, we address restorative justice and carceral responses with nuance: both can help or harm depending on how they're used, and some people do require firm containment. The standard remains constant—what increases survivor safety, improves children's stability, and creates the strongest opportunities for behavior change.We also unpack the “shame” debate with care. Shame is a human emotion; the task is to guide it into inclusive responsibility, not silence the conversation. The facts are clear: men are disproportionately perpetrators of serious violence, and boys growing up amid coercive control learn dangerous scripts about loss and power. Naming this is not man-bashing—it's a necessary move toward balance, health, and prevention. We close with a story of loving confrontation that strengthened a father-child bond, offering a model for how accountability can deepen connection rather than destroy it.If this resonates, subscribe and share the episode with someone who cares about safer families, effective practice, and honest conversations.

In this episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, we nerd all the way out on one of the deepest truths of your spiritual journey: time is always now. Brother, we go right into the heart of what it means to live in a “limited reality” and why your true power only exists in the present moment.I start by introducing The Brotherhood, a new program coming in January 2026 that serves as a half-step into the Academy for Consciousness Expansion - a place for you to step into community, coaching, the Model of Alignment, and eliminating buffering from your life. From there, we move straight into the here and now: why the past and future only exist in perception, why time and space are illusions, and how your consciousness is always operating in the eternal present.We explore monism: there is no separation between inner and outer, mind and body, you and your environment. Your consciousness and your environment are one unified hologram. That means reincarnation is not some linear “next life” in the future - it's about lessons, games, and the spiritual journey. Your consciousness can incarnate “forward” or “backward” in historical time, because it's all the same eternal now.To ground this, we dive into Star Wars - Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda, and the living Force - as metaphors for your awakening. Being “mindful of the future” is useful, but not at the expense of the moment. When your mind is trapped in anxiety about the future or guilt about the past, you lose access to the Force. You lose access to action.So I give you a five-step practical process to return to the now and reclaim your power over flesh:Pause & Elevate Your Alpha – Stop and observe your mind. Where is your consciousness - past, future, or present?Run a Model of Alignment – Put it on paper, in a notebook, on your phone, or even using a tool like ChatGPT. Get your model out of your head so you can see your conditioning.Return to Presence & Feel – Bring your mind into your body. Feel the vibration, the emotion, the energy in motion. Let it move.Look Again at Your Environment – Open your eyes and truly see what's around you - whether it's trees, traffic, or office walls. It's all you. Your environment is your consciousness.Practice Your Intentional Model & Energy Mechanics – From presence, think deliberately. Run your intentional model and experiment with how you manage and move your energy.This episode is an invitation to stop living as a prisoner of time and start operating as a conscious Jedi in the hologram - aligned with the Force, rooted in the now, and fully engaged in your spiritual transformation.

Jack Ellis recently shared that storing page views and custom events in separate database tables was his biggest mistake at Fathom Analytics. That got me thinking about my own data modeling decisions at Podscan—choices I made on day one that now, two years and 45 million episodes later, either enable or constrain everything I build. Today, I'm exploring how your data model doesn't just store information, it fundamentally shapes how you think about your product. From the simple decision of whether to include teams in your authentication system to the complex realities of running full-text search across terabytes of transcript data, I'll share the migrations, the blue-green deployments, and the hard lessons about building flexibility into both your infrastructure and your founder mindset.I'm running a time-limited Black Friday sale of The Bootstrapper's Bundle: all my books, all my courses, all formats, for $25 instead of $100+.

Is open source winning the AI race? This week on Mixture of Experts, we analyze three major model releases that dropped in the final weeks of 2025: Mistral 3, DeepSeek-V3.2 and Claude Opus 4.5. Our experts discuss what makes each model unique—from Mistral's multimodal capabilities to DeepSeek's reasoning-first approach and Claude's developer focus. Are there too many good models? Next, a provocative blog post from Theory Ventures argues Gemini 3 proves scaling laws are throwing more compute at the problem. We debate if scaling laws are a universal truth. Finally, Amazon just blocked ChatGPT's shopping research agent from accessing product data. We discuss the business incentives threatening the agent dream.

But behind the flawless images was a young woman falling apart inside, battling an eating disorder that began at age eight and a relentless pursuit of external validation that could never fill the void within.Through therapy, spirituality, and profound self-discovery, Nikki learned that the most beautiful transformation doesn't happen on the outside—it happens when you finally come home to yourself.

Software Engineering Radio - The Podcast for Professional Software Developers
Philip Kiely, software developer relations lead at Baseten, speaks with host Jeff Doolittle about multi-agent AI, emphasizing how to build AI-native software beyond simple ChatGPT wrappers. Kiely advocates for composing multiple models and agents that take action to achieve complex user goals, rather than just producing information. He explains the transition from off-the-shelf models to custom solutions, driven by needs for domain-specific quality, latency improvements, and economic sustainability, which introduces the engineering challenge of inference engineering. Kiely stresses that AI engineering is primarily software engineering with new challenges, requiring robust observability and careful consideration of trust and safety through evals and alignment. He recommends an approach of iterative experimentation to get started with multi-agent AI systems. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.
