Recorded live at CiderCon, this episode brings listeners into a rare, in-depth conversation about Chile's living cider tradition—one shaped by more than 450 years of apple fermentation, deep regional biodiversity, and community-based agriculture. Moderated by Eli Shanks, this panel features cider makers, cooperative leaders, and academics from southern Chile who explore how apples arrived, adapted, and endured across Araucanía, Los Ríos, and the Chiloé archipelago. Rather than a "new" cider movement, Chile offers something far rarer: a cider culture that never disappeared. At the heart of the discussion is Chicha—the traditional name for fermented apple beverages in Chile—and the cultural weight that language carries. Panelists unpack how Chicha and cider share the same roots, why heritage orchards matter, and what's at stake as aging farmers, development pressure, and climate change threaten seed-grown apple diversity. Listeners will also hear about: Heritage apple orchards over 100 years old, many grown from seed The role of women as primary stewards of orchards and biodiversity Native fermentation vessels made from Raulí and other Chilean woods Cooperative cider making on the island of Chiloé The challenges of valuing cider beyond "cheap, rural" perceptions The future of Chilean cider on the global stage, including education, competitions, and potential export This episode offers an essential perspective for anyone interested in cider as culture—not trend—and in how place, people, and history shape what ends up in the glass. Panelists & Contributors Eli Shanks – Co-founder, Punta de Fierro Fine Cider; Head Cider Maker, Western Cider Gicella – President, Cooperative Chilwe (Chiloé) René Galindo – Third-generation cider maker, Araucanía Carlos Flores – Co-founder, Punta de Fierro Fine Cider; Orchardist, Valdivia Fabián Lara – Cider & beer consultant; INDAP (Chilean Ministry of Agriculture) José Antonio Aldea – Professor and fermentation educator Key Themes Chilean cider and Chicha traditions Heritage apple orchards and seed-grown ecotypes Women's roles in orchard preservation Cooperative models and island agriculture Native materials and spontaneous fermentation Preserving cider culture in a changing landscape Timestamps ⏱️ Detailed timestamps are listed above to help you jump to specific topics, speakers, and cider discussions. 00:00 Introduction to Chicha and Cider 00:26 News Out and About  Ciderville  00:43 Episode Overview: Chilean Cider Panel 03:30 Upcoming Events and Announcements 07:42 Introduction to the Chilean Panel 10:44 Chilean Cider Regions and History 16:11 Traditional Cider Making in Chile 18:11 Modern Chilean Cider and Future Prospects 20:16 Cider Tasting and Panel Discussion 29:32 Consumer Perception of Cider in Chile 30:07 Challenges and Efforts in Differentiation 30:34 Traditional and New World Ciders 31:13 Exciting Apple Varieties and Characteristics 32:19 Naming and Regional Varieties 35:40 Incorporating Local Fruits into Cider 38:09 Historical Context and Apple Lineages 41:47 Fire Blight and Disease Resistance 42:57 Modern vs. Traditional Cider Making 44:15 Collaborations with Winemakers 47:12 Preserving Heritage Apple Orchards 52:10 Forming a Cooperative in Chiloé 54:53 Market Development and Sales Strategies 57:03 Generational Gaps and Preservation Efforts 59:08 Future Goals and International Connections Support Cider Chat® If you value independent, long-form conversations that preserve cider history and amplify global voices, consider supporting Cider Chat® on Patreon.

How should classical education respond to artificial intelligence—and what happens to formation when machines can teach faster than humans? In this panel from the 2025 Annapolis Summit, CLT brings together leading scholars and practitioners to wrestle with AI, virtue, and the future of learning.​Moderated by Dr. Angel Adams Parham (University of Virginia; President of the CLT Board of Academic Advisors), this conversation features Dr. Christopher Perrin (Classical Academic Press), Dr. Brian Williams (Templeton Honors College, Eastern University), and Erin Valdez (University of Austin; education and public policy). They discuss how AI is already reshaping classrooms, what is at stake for the telos of education, and how classical schools, homeschoolers, and universities can use new tools without sacrificing human formation.​Across the panel you'll hear:Stories from higher ed and K–12 about plagiarism, AI‑graded essays, and “alpha schools” that rely on AI tutors instead of teachers.​A deep dive into the difference between information and formation, and why contemplation, attention, and love of the good cannot be automated.​Concrete use‑cases where AI may genuinely serve classical learning (e.g., language drilling, logistics, research assistance) and where it risks dehumanizing students.​Recorded live at the 2025 Annapolis Summit, hosted by Classic Learning Test (CLT). Perfect for parents, teachers, school leaders, and students who care about classical education, virtue ethics, and the future of humane learning in an AI age.

Episode: NCBFAA Counsel Update: What Trade Professionals Must Prepare for in 2026 (Final Episode in the NCBFAA 4-Part Special Series) Guest Host & Moderator: Laurie Arnold Secretary, National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA) Panelists: Nicole Bivens-Collinson — Legislative Advisor, NCBFAA Cindy Thomas — Counsel, Partner Government Agencies Ashley Craig — Transportation Counsel Lenny Feldman — Customs & Trade Counsel Published: December 17, 2026 Length: ~50 min. Presented by: Global Training Center Episode Summary This episode concludes Simply Trade's four-part special collaboration with the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA), with NCBFAA hosting its own in-depth legal roundtable focused on what trade professionals must prepare for in 2026. Moderated by Laurie Arnold, Secretary of NCBFAA, this candid discussion brings together the association's legal counsel to unpack legislative priorities, regulatory uncertainty, enforcement trends, and agency staffing challenges impacting customs brokers, freight forwarders, and the broader trade community. From tariff volatility and BIS rulemaking to FMC enforcement, PGA staffing shortages, and heightened CBP scrutiny, this final episode provides practical guidance and forward-looking insight for navigating an increasingly complex compliance environment. Key Learnings & Themes 1. Legislative Outlook for 2026 Nicole Bivens-Collinson highlights legislative activity to monitor closely, including: Potential restrictions on non-resident importers acting as importers of record The proposed ADAPT Act, designed to curb last-minute tariff changes by requiring advance notice and implementation timelines NCBFAA continues advocating for policy that is predictable, transparent, and operationally realistic for the trade community. 2. PGA Engagement Amid Staffing Losses Cindy Thomas explains how Partner Government Agencies are experiencing: Accelerated retirements and buyouts Loss of institutional knowledge Inconsistent enforcement and communication Despite these challenges, agencies increasingly rely on NCBFAA to help communicate policy changes clearly and consistently to the trade community. 3. BIS 50% Rule: Paused, Not Eliminated Ashley Craig discusses the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 50% rule, currently suspended for one year: The rule is expected to return in some form Congressional intervention remains possible Due diligence expectations on intermediaries continue to grow The panel stresses that this pause should be used to prepare — not delay. 4. FMC Enforcement & Transportation Risk Ashley also outlines increasing enforcement activity by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), including: Heightened scrutiny of tariffs and service contracts Significant recent penalties Ongoing regulatory uncertainty driven by staffing changes Transportation compliance remains a key risk area heading into 2026. 5. Tariffs, CBP Enforcement & Revenue Collection Lenny Feldman provides insight into: Aggressive CBP enforcement tied to tariff programs Significant increases in duty collections through entry summary reviews Elevated penalty exposure without mitigation strategies He emphasizes proactive compliance, internal reviews, and preparation before CBP initiates enforcement actions. 6. Practical Steps Trade Professionals Must Take Now Panelists recommend: Ensuring importers maintain active ACE Portal access Monitoring liquidation timelines and protest deadlines Reviewing valuation, classification, and origin methodologies Updating broker terms & conditions and powers of attorney Conducting internal compliance reviews proactively Preparation is no longer optional — it is essential. Key Takeaways Enforcement is increasing across CBP, BIS, FMC, and PGAs Legislative and regulatory volatility is the new normal NCBFAA advocacy plays a critical role in shaping workable policy Brokers and forwarders are more essential than ever as compliance partners Proactive strategy consistently outperforms reactive defense Resources Mentioned Organizations & Agencies National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Trade & Compliance Topics ACE Portal (Automated Commercial Environment) Section 232, 301, and 201 Tariffs BIS 50% Rule BIS Affiliate Rule ADAPT Act (Proposed) Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 Credits Guest Host & Moderator: Laurie Arnold — Secretary, NCBFAA Panelists: Nicole Bivens-Collinson — Legislative Advisor, NCBFAA Cindy Thomas — Counsel, Partner Government Agencies Ashley Craig — Transportation Counsel Lenny Feldman — Customs & Trade Counsel Presented by: Global Training Center Global Training Center on LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow Simply Trade YouTube Spotify Apple Podcasts Trade Geeks Community

As AI workloads push data center infrastructure in both centralized and distributed directions, the industry is rethinking where compute lives, how data moves, and who controls the networks in between. This episode captures highlights from The Distributed Data Frontier: Edge, Interconnection, and the Future of Digital Infrastructure, a panel discussion from the 2025 Data Center Frontier Trends Summit. Moderated by Scott Bergs of Dark Fiber and Infrastructure, the panel brought together leaders from DartPoints, 1623 Farnam, Duos Edge AI, ValorC3 Data Centers, and 365 Data Centers to examine how edge facilities, interconnection hubs, and regional data centers are adapting to rising power densities, AI inference workloads, and mounting connectivity constraints. Panelists discussed the rapid shift from legacy 4–6 kW rack designs to environments supporting 20–60 kW and beyond, while noting that many AI inference applications can be deployed effectively at moderate densities when paired with the right connectivity. Hospitals, regional enterprises, and public-sector use cases are emerging as key drivers of distributed AI infrastructure, particularly in tier 3 and tier 4 markets. The conversation also highlighted connectivity as a defining bottleneck. Permitting delays, middle-mile fiber constraints, and the need for early carrier engagement are increasingly shaping site selection and time-to-market outcomes. As data centers evolve into network-centric platforms, operators are balancing neutrality, fiber ownership, and long-term upgradability to ensure today's builds remain relevant in a rapidly changing AI landscape.

Q&A on the documentary film The Six Billion Dollar Man with filmmaker Eugene Jarecki. Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange battled extradition to the U.S., where he could've faced a lengthy sentence for publishing classified documents. His case, centered on press freedom, took unexpected twists as it unfolded.

The UFC arrives in AEC. And we're live from the AEC Octagon.In the very first episode of our brand-new Bricks & Bytes Debates series, we are trading PR statements for sparring gloves. We're putting two industry heavyweights head-to-head to battle out one of the hottest topics in construction: Has AI actually solved estimating?In this no-holds-barred contester series, our contenders took the gloves off to represent the extreme Bull and Bear cases for Artificial Intelligence:• In the Red Corner: Mike "Mighty" Powers (Co-Founder, BuildVision), arguing that LLMs have solved the extraction problem and the industry needs to embrace the "Waymo" era of automation.• In the Blue Corner: Luigi "The Stinger" La Corte (Co-Founder, Provision), arguing that estimating is more than just counting symbols - and that without 100% accuracy, AI is still just a student driver.Moderated by the referee of reason, Patric "Praying For Exits" Hellermann, this debate moves through three grueling rounds: - Round 1: The Tech. Can LLMs actually count and measure complex drawings, or are they just guessing? - Round 2: The Accuracy Gap. Is 80% accuracy "good enough" to change the industry, or is "trust but verify" just a nice way of saying "do it yourself"? - Round 3: The Liability. In a world of design-bid-build, who takes the fall when the AI misses a scope gap?

Complete recording of filmmaker Paul Jay's presentation and Q&A at UMass about his upcoming documentary "How to Stop a Nuclear War," based on Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg's book "The Doomsday Machine." Moderated by historian Christian Appy, Jay traces American militarization from slavery and westward expansion through the Manhattan Project to today's trillion-dollar nuclear modernization. The discussion explores why nuclear threats remain taboo in public discourse, BlackRock's role in nuclear financing, how the climate crisis amplifies nuclear risk, the dangers of AI-controlled missile defense, and why elite interests might actually align with working people on this issue.

Egg freezing is IVF without the F. You go through a standard cycle of In Vitro Fertilization in which you take hormone shots that stimulate the growth of eggs. A doctor like me then extracts your eggs through a simple surgical procedure, and I work with an embryologist to preserve your eggs in liquid nitrogen until you're ready to use them. So the big question is what happens now that you're ready to use your eggs? In other words, what are the steps towards fertilization (or as I like to say, what the F?) Step 1. Locate Your Eggs Step 2: Decide if you want to unfreeze all your eggs. Step 3. Complete Your Preconception Testing (follow the TUSHY Method) Step 4: Complete Your Infectious Disease Labs Step 5: Implantation Testing Step 6: Make Embryos (and decide if you want to do genetic testing on your embryos) Step 7: Decide Whether You Want to Transfer Fresh or Frozen Embryos Click here to get the full show notes and transcript Join me for a screening of the movie THAW: Parenthood on Ice.
