Podcasts about Moon

Description: This month in the Jen Hatmaker Book Club, Jen is joined by novelist Eliana Ramage to talk about her stunning debut, To the Moon and Back—a book that is as page-turny as it is tender, and as expansive as it is rooted. Jen and Eliana trace the actual arc of this book—how it began with an unforgettable spark of an idea at Dartmouth (about an “astronaut girl” who shows us that our stories aren't static, and neither are our people) and how, over more than a decade, that idea became a novel about ambition, belonging, identity, and the complicated, beautiful gravity of connection. In this conversation, Jen and Eliana explore a story centered on a young woman unraveling in the aftermath of loss, navigating complicated relationships, spiritual longing, and the quiet ache of wanting more than the life she's been handed. They dig into the women at the center of the novel—the ones you'll root for, the ones who will frustrate you (hi, ambition), and the ones who will linger long after you close the cover—and they unpack why the ending matters: not because it ties everything into neat bows, but because it honors what's true. Because in real life, healing doesn't land with fireworks. It lands with honesty. With restraint. With the choice to keep loving, even when certainty has slipped through our fingers. This is a conversation about grieving honestly, questioning inherited beliefs, and staying awake to your own life. It's about learning that connection matters more than performance—and trusting that the long arc of love and healing is still unfolding. Whether you're reading along with the book club or simply craving a thoughtful, soulful conversation to start the new year, this episode invites you to slow down, feel deeply, and remember: even in loss, even in doubt, we are still reaching—toward connection, toward each other, and back to ourselves. Thought-provoking Quotes: “This is a story about women who are trying to understand who they are and move forward together after making some mistakes. That's where I definitely am right now. And if I could just finish this one thing that has been so hard for so many years, then it would be the first time I had done something that I could be really proud of.” – Eliana Ramage “I think in real life, you don't need to know that everything is all gonna be figured out at once. You need to land the plane on what matters. I don't think any of us, for our own lives, feel like we have that written out. And so there's some wiggle room on where we could go next, I think.”– Eliana Ramage “It's become kind of a ritual to ask myself,  can you believe that you're doing this job because your wildest dreams came true?”– Eliana Ramage Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Avid Reader Press - https://avidreaderpress.com/ Fancy Lunch - https://tinyurl.com/3uyuxryf Joyride: A Memoir by Susan Orlean - https://amzn.to/49vTrhC The Uncool: A Memoir by Cameron Crowe - https://amzn.to/3LFmd7n Lily King - https://lilykingbooks.com/ Reese Witherspoon book club pick - September 2025 - https://reesesbookclub.com/book/to-the-moon-and-back/ Mid-America All Indian Center, Wichita, KS - https://www.theindianmuseum.org/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/4swRPg9 Parnassus Books - https://parnassusbooks.net/ Ring of Salt: A Memoir of Finding Home and Hope on the Wild Coast of Ireland by Betsy Cornwell - https://amzn.to/3Z9qtPu I'll Tell You When I'm Home by Hala Alyan - https://amzn.to/4bof7yr Guest's Links: Website - https://www.elianaramage.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elianaramage/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Julie Veloo (born 1960) is a Canadian humanitarian, expedition leader, and lifelong adventurer whose journey has become inseparable from Mongolia. The youngest of six children, Julie earned her degree in French from the University of British Columbia in 1985, then built a life of global experience travelling with her husband, Chelvan and their two sons - living in Canada, Irian Jaya, Australia, the United States, and ultimately Mongolia, where her mission found its true direction. A polyglot fluent in French, Spanish, German, and Mongolian, she's known for building trust across cultures and working deeply within local communities.Julie is also a passionate equestrian and outdoorswoman who has ridden more than 50,000 kilometres across and around Mongolia. Remarkably, she was 50 years old the first time she ever rode a horse and that experience was in Mongolia at what would become Horse Trek Mongolia - her second home when she's in Mongolia.  What began as a late start became a defining reinvention, proving that courage and transformation don't belong to the young—they belong to the willing.Today, Julie serves as Vice President of the Veloo Foundation, changing the lives of children and families in need through education, nutrition, community libraries, and expanding medical and dental access. She is also behind some of  Mongolia's most iconic long-distance charity rides, including the 10 day , 700 km Gobi Gallop and the ambitious 4,000-kilometre Blue Wolf Totem Expedition—projects that blend adventure with impact, and storytelling with real-world change. In addition to these roles she finds time to manage marketing for Moon's Gift Gers, her social enterprise which manufactures and sells top quality gers around the world and uses the profits to support her work with Veloo Foundation.https://www.veloofoundation.com/http://www.horsetrekmongolia.com/https://www.moonsgiftgers.com/Send us a textSupport the showCan't get enough of the Journey On Podcast & it's guests?

Mike Bara spent 25 years in aerospace working on Boeing 757, 767, F-35, and classified military programs before co-authoring the New York Times bestseller Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA with Richard C. Hoagland.A frequent Ancient Aliens contributor and author of seven books on suppressed space discoveries, Bara uses his aerospace engineering background to challenge official narratives about extraterrestrial artifacts and secret technology programs. Starting as a Boeing draftsman in 1979, he advanced through experience on compartmentalized black programs, giving him unique insight into defense contracting and classified operations. He connects Roswell, the JFK assassination, and current Congressional UFO hearings, arguing that anti-gravity technology has existed since the 1960s and ancient civilizations left engineering marvels across our solar system.

Hi everyone! Our segment is a little less conventional today. There has been so much information coming out that it is challenging to keep up with, analyze, and consider! The Epstein files were recently released (though many still are not and much of this information is heavily redacted) and it has catalyzed a shift in collective conscious. Who are our leaders really? Who are they affiliated with? What secrets are our favorite celebrities harboring? This is a topic that I care about deeply! I hope you find the connections to astrology interesting.FOUNDATION COURSEhttps://www.innerknowing.yoga/vedic-astrology-foundational-courseYOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Welcome to another beautifully unhinged episode of The Rizzuto Show, your favorite daily comedy show where common sense goes to die — usually in a parking lot.The crew kicks things off battling brutal St. Louis winter temps and the internet's worst cold-weather car advice (yes, people are still pouring boiling water on windshields… please stop). From socks on side mirrors to CD cases as ice scrapers, the gang relives the lawless era of frozen cars and bad decisions — including Moon's legendary rust-bucket meltdown that literally lost pieces of its door.Things escalate fast when Lern admits she keeps waking up strangers sleeping in their cars — at gas pumps, Menards parking lots, basically anywhere exhaustion meets poor timing. Is she a hero? A future Dateline episode? Or just Midwest-nice to a fault? Paramedics weigh in, the crew panics for her safety, and suddenly everyone's debating when it's okay to nap in a car without someone calling 911.From there, the show swerves hard into pop culture chaos: the unfortunate downfall of the name “Jeffrey,” why being named Jeff might be safer for your résumé, and how some names simply cannot recover from bad PR. Add in wild restaurant stories (including one that absolutely ruins Olive Garden for everyone), a debate over whether you'd eat at a restaurant that used to be a public bathroom, and a terrifyingly detailed breakdown of outdoor street urinals.And just when you think things can't get more serious — it's Super Bowl food time. Wings vs sliders. Nachos vs chili. Buffalo chicken dip vs spinach artichoke dip. Friendships are tested. Lines are drawn. Sandwich guy is absolutely roasted.It's a daily comedy show that somehow covers winter survival, human kindness, food rankings, and name shame — all before lunch. If you like funny stories, questionable judgment, and a morning show that openly argues with itself, congratulations. You're home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

British astrologer Steve Judd believes 2026 is a once-in-a-species turning point, and the next four years will determine whether humanity breaks through or breaks down. In this episode of Soul Elevation, Kara Goodwin speaks with Steve Judd about the rare planetary patterns shaping consciousness, why astrology has been suppressed, and how understanding your Sun Moon Rising and Midheaven can radically change how you see yourself and the world. Steve has been a professional astrologer for over 45 years, with tens of thousands of readings behind him and a Master of Arts in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology. And in this conversation, he shares why he's been tracking 2026 for decades. We explore why 2026 is not just "a big year", but a pivotal threshold for humanity, a turning point that will shape the next four years and beyond. Steve explains the deeper purpose of astrology as pattern recognition and self knowledge, and why this kind of knowledge has been suppressed throughout history.  If you've ever felt curious about astrology but unsure where to begin, this episode will help you understand the foundation in a way that feels practical, empowering, and surprisingly accessible. You'll learn what your Sun sign, Moon sign, Rising sign (Ascendant), and Midheaven actually reveal about you, including how you experience life internally, how you show up in the world, and how you consciously project yourself in your life path and purpose. Steve also shares why astrology can become a shared language across cultures, and how understanding archetypes can reduce judgment, increase empathy, and help us relate to each other in a more conscious way. We also go into Steve's big picture view of the next several years, why the planetary positions "impel, not compel" principle, why the patterns of 2026 continue unfolding through 2027, 2028, and into 2029, and what it means to live at a time he believes is rare on a multi thousand year scale. And the conversation lands in a place that is both simple and profound: the role of joy, humor, and unconditional love as stabilizers in intense times. Steve leaves us with a line worth remembering: Negativity can't exist where there's humor. Find the joy.   https://www.stevejudd.co   @SteveJuddAstrology   Explore everything available for you at https://www.karagoodwin.com  including my book Your Authentic Awakening, free guided meditations, and upcoming summits, workshops, and live experiences designed to support your spiritual expansion.

This marked the lowest temperature recorded in February since 1923. - Iguanas dropping from tress all over the streets - Iguanas can survive temperatures down to the mid-40s Fahrenheit (around 7°C) by entering a "cold-stunned" state, where they appear dead but are just temporarily paralyzed and immobile; however, prolonged exposure to temperatures in the 30s and 40s, especially below freezing, can be lethal, particularly for smaller individuals, leading to tissue damage and organ failure. - They get sluggish below 50°F (10°C) and fall from trees as they lose grip. - The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued Executive Order 26-03 on Friday, allowing residents to collect and surrender cold-stunned green iguanas without a permit during an unprecedented cold weather event. Right on Schedule - Remember we talked about how the Nat Gas price was going to reverse, just as quickly as it spikeed? - Nat gas down 25% today - down about 28% from recent high - Still about 50% higher than it was before the spike. THIS! - Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said the company's proposed $100 billion investment in OpenAI  was “never a commitment” and that the company would consider any funding rounds “one at a time.” - “It was never a commitment,” Huang told reporters in Taipei on Sunday. “They invited us to invest up to $100 billion and of course, we were, we were very happy and honored that they invited us, but we will invest one step at a time.” Then Oracle announced that it will do a fundraiser in the form of equity and debt - needs to fund more datacenter build-out. - What happened to the OpenAI $300 Billion committment? - Or is the money that NVDA "committed to OpenAi, that they must have committed to Orcle, not a committment - GIGANTIC CIRCLE JERK Fungus - -Interesting - Did you know? Botrytis cinerea, a fungus causing grey mold, affects grapes by causing bunch rot, ruining fruit in high humidity. - While it often destroys crops, specific dry, warm conditions can transform it into "noble rot," concentrating sugars and creating high-value dessert wines (e.g., Sauternes, Tokaji) with honeyed, raisin-like, and apricot flavors. January Economic Review Employment — Job growth was nearly flat in December, with 50,000 new jobs added and earlier months revised lower. — Unemployment dipped slightly to 4.4%, but it's still higher than it was a year ago. — Long-term unemployment didn't change and remains high, and the labor force participation rate slipped to 62.4%. — Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% in December and are up 3.8% over the past year. — Weekly jobless claims stayed close to last year's levels, showing a labor market that is cooling but not weakening sharply. FOMC / Interest Rates — The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%. — Most policymakers agreed the economy continues to grow at a solid pace, though job gains are slowing and inflation remains above target. — Two committee members supported a small rate cut, but the majority preferred to wait. - Fed Chair Powell: Clearly, a weakening labor market calls for cutting. A stronger labor market says that rates are in a good place. It isn't anyone's base case right now that the next move will be a rate hike. - The economy has once again surprised us with its strength. Consumer spending numbers overall are good, and it looks like growth overall is on a solid footing. - Upside risks to inflation and downside risks to employment have diminished, but hard to say they are fully in balance. We think our policy is in a good place. - Overall, it's a stronger forecast since the Fed's last meeting. Haven't made any decisions about future meetings, but the economy is growing at a solid pace, the unemployment rate is broadly stable and inflation remains somewhat elevated, so we will be looking to our goal variables and letting the data light the way for us. - Most of the overrun in goods prices is from tariffs. We think tariffs are likely to move through, and be a one-time price increase. - Dissent: Miran and Waller (Miran is a admin shill and Waller wanted job as Fed Chair) GDP & Federal Budget — Economic growth remained strong in Q3 2025, with GDP rising at an annualized 4.4% driven by strong spending, higher exports, and reduced imports due to tariffs. — Investment was mixed, with business spending increasing while housing activity declined. — The federal deficit for December rose to $145 billion, though the fiscal year-to-date deficit is slightly smaller than last year. Inflation & Consumer Spending — Personal income and consumer spending rose moderately in October and November. — Inflation, measured by the PCE index, increased 0.2% in both months and roughly 2.7% year-over-year. — The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% in December, with shelter, food, and energy all contributing. — Producer prices also increased, though 2025 producer inflation slowed compared to 2024. Housing — Existing home sales rose in December, but the number of homes for sale is still low. — Prices dipped a bit from November but remain higher than they were a year ago. — New-home sales in October were steady compared with the prior month but much higher than last year. — New-home prices fell compared to 2024, though they are still high relative to long-term norms. Manufacturing — Industrial production rose 0.4% in December and was up 2.0% for the year. — Manufacturing output increased, while mining activity declined and utility output jumped. — Durable goods orders grew sharply in November, driven by a big increase in transportation equipment, pointing to strong demand in key industries. Imports & Exports — Import and export prices rose slightly through November 2025. — The goods trade deficit widened in November because exports fell while imports increased. — For the year so far, both exports and imports are running above 2024 levels, though the overall trade deficit remains larger. Consumer Confidence — Consumer confidence fell sharply in January after improving in December. — Both views of current conditions and expectations for the future weakened, with expectations dropping well below the level that often signals recession risk. Earnings — Roughly one-third of S&P 500 companies have reported Q4 earnings, and overall results are strong. — 75% of companies have beaten EPS estimates, though this is slightly below long-term averages. Revenue beats remain solid at 65%. — Companies are reporting earnings 9.1% above estimates, which is well above the 5-and 10-year surprise averages. — The S&P 500 is on track for 11.9% year-over-year earnings growth, marking the 5th straight quarter of double-digit earnings growth. — Eight of eleven sectors are showing positive year-over-year earnings growth, led by Information Technology, Industrials, and Communication Services. — The Health Care sector shows the largest earnings declines among lagging categories. — The forward 12-month P/E ratio sits at ~22.2, elevated relative to 5-and 10-year averages, signaling continued optimism despite tariff and cost concerns. — FactSet also notes the S&P 500 is reporting a record-high net profit margin of 13.2%, the highest since 2009.

Fritz Lang's Metropolis In 1927 Cinema was still in its relative infancy. Nearly eleven years earlier D.W. Griffith had established the "grammar of cinema" with his epic masterpiece, The Birth of a Nation. The subsequent decade would showcase spectacles (Ben-Hur, Intolerance), comedies (The Gold Rush, The General), and dramatic classics (Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, The Last Laugh). Cinematic Science Fiction would be attempted as early as 1902 with Melie's A Voyage to the Moon, however it would take nearly a quarter of a century for Sci-Fi to reveal its technical brilliance and possibilities with 1927s Fritz Lang masterpiece Metropolis. While an incredibly innovative, beautiful, and groundbreaking film, Lang's narrative (from a treatment and screenplay by his wife and artistic partner, Thea von Harbou), continues - or is the beginning - of the lazy and apologetic "White Savior" cinematic trope that has continued from Lawrence of Arabia thru Dances with Wolves, and most recently, Avatar and Dune. This week Mr. Chavez & I go back to the argument that we have made before and will continue to make regarding this insulting and problemtic cinematic trope. Each generation seems to want to tell its own version of this story without recognizing the inherent hypocrisy of a society and culture victimized by the elite while simultaneously needing to be saved by a blonde-haired, blue-eyed messiah (in this case a billionaire suddenly aware of his "mediator destiny" and responsibility to his "brothers"). Yes, we recognize the technical and production brilliance of this film, while at the same time being unable to ignore (or excuse) the obvious and insulting simplicity of its narrative. It is possible to simultaneoulsy admire and take issue with a work of art. Take a listen and ask yourself if you agree. Let us know what you think. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Many, Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

As the killing of Minnesota resident Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents has sparked fresh outrage in the state and across the country, some lawmakers have pushed back on the Trump administration's explanation for DHS's aggressive tactics and called for an independent investigation. Correspondent Scott Pelley interviews Sen. Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, who summoned top DHS immigration officials to testify later this month. Pelley also speaks with former Justice Department and DHS investigators about the state of the federal probe. Leading up to Artemis II – NASA's first human mission to the Moon in more than 50 years - correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on this critical step forward in American space exploration. Whitaker interviews the four astronauts who will embark on the 10-day mission, which could pave the way for a sustained presence on the Moon and lay the groundwork for future missions to Mars. If you think America's top laugh factories are only in New York, Chicago, and LA, think again. Reporting from Amsterdam, correspondent Jon Wertheim takes us inside Boom Chicago, an English-language improv theater founded in the early '90s by two American comics. What sounded like a punchline became a pipeline, launching future stars like Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Amber Ruffin, Brendan Hunt and Jason Sudeikis. At a moment when American comedy feels under siege, this beloved Dutch theater keeps proving that funny survives—and travels.

Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The Moon in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus (Feb. 2, 2:55 pm PST). It's VOC for 4 hours, 26 minutes, then enters Virgo (7:21 pm PST). Honor the present rather than getting stuck in the past. [3:18] The Moon in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces (Feb. 4, 11:49 pm PST). It's VOC for 1 hour, 43 minutes, then enters Libra (Feb. 5, 1:32 am PST). When life gets you down, get to work. [4:28] The Moon in Libra trines Venus in Aquarius (Feb. 7, 3:59 am PST). It's VOC for 7 hours, 14 minutes, then enters Scorpio (11:13 am PST). Get in the habit of combining your interests with socialization. [5:51] Uranus stations direct (Feb. 3, 6:33 pm PST) at 27°27' Taurus, and prepares to move into Gemini (April 25, 2026). Ask: Have I outgrown my old definition of security? What resources and strengths do I already have to support new paths?” [9:36] Mercury squares Uranus (Feb. 5, 4:13 am PST) at 27°27' Aquarius- Taurus. Sabian symbols: Mercury, 28 Aquarius, A tree felled and sawed, and Uranus, 28 Taurus, A woman pursued by mature romance. Pay attention to what catches your interest or irritates you, these moments can clarify what in your life feels outdated and what needs to change. [14:09] Mercury enters Pisces (Feb. 6, 2:48 pm PST). Due to an upcoming retrograde period (Feb. 25-Mar. 20), Mercury will be in Pisces longer than usual, until April 14, 2026. Speak from the heart. Listen between the lines. Not all valuable information comes wrapped in logic; some of it arrives as a feeling, image, or quiet awareness. [17:20] Venus squares Uranus (Feb. 8, 1:49 am PST) at 27°28' Aquarius- Taurus. Renegotiate our relationships with love, money, and belonging, so that they better reflect the freedom that you're looking for.

From parts of the U.S., the Moon will briefly cover the heart of the lion tonight. The Moon will pass directly between Earth and the bright star Regulus, creating an occultation. The Moon can occult Regulus because the star lies almost atop the ecliptic – the Sun’s path across the sky. The Moon stays close to the ecliptic, but it does move a little to either side. So occultations of Regulus come in groups. This one is part of a cycle that began last July and will continue through the end of this year. The occultations are separated by about 27 days, which is how long it takes the Moon to circle through the background of stars. Each occultation is visible from a different part of Earth. In part, that’s because the Moon and Regulus are below the horizon as seen from much of the world. And the Moon is so close to us that there’s a big difference in the viewing angle across the globe. So from any specific location, sometimes the angle is just right, but more often it’s a little off. This month, the angle is right for skywatchers in the eastern United States. For most of the rest of the country, the Moon will just miss the star. So all of us will see an amazingly close encounter between the Moon and the heart of the lion. Only one more occultation in this sequence will be visible from anywhere in the contiguous United States – on April 25th. After that, we won’t see another one until 2044. Script by Damond Benningfield

Description With Artemis II about to launch, Enjoy Stuff looks back at humanity's long obsession with the Moon, from ancient myths to modern sci-fi classics. Jay and Shua explore moon-centric movies, music, comics, and real-life lunar history, proving that whether it's inspiring astronauts or werewolves, there's always been something in the way she moons.   News The Muppet Show arrives on Disney+ as a special event   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua has been watching Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 and found it very faithful to the book, even if the pacing felt a bit slow at times. He's still enjoying the journey and is happy to know a third season is already on the way. Jay is diving into Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on Paramount+ and was pleasantly surprised by its quality and tone. Holly Hunter stands out, and Jay appreciates that the show doesn't talk down to younger viewers while still feeling very much like Star Trek.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay looks at Life (2017), a tense and claustrophobic sci-fi thriller about scientists aboard the ISS discovering a rapidly evolving life form from Mars. It's gripping and well made, but definitely not something you throw on when you're looking for a feel-good movie night.Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.   Enjoy The Moon!  This week, Jay and Shua take a giant leap through the Moon's long history in fiction, film, and real-world exploration. From early writers imagining lunar voyages to Hollywood's evolving obsession with moon bases, secret missions, and alien mysteries, the Moon has always been a perfect sci-fi playground.   They also look at how real lunar exploration influenced pop culture, from the Apollo missions to the upcoming Artemis II launch, and why the Moon continues to inspire stories across science fiction, fantasy, horror, music, and comics. Whether it's astronauts, superheroes, or werewolves, the Moon always finds a way to steal the spotlight.   Are you excited to take steps for a man and woman, and another giant leap for mankind.

Interview with Missouri Senator Mike Moon to discuss his bills on AI, Weather Modification, and other prescient issues of our day.

Interview with Missouri Senator Mike Moon to discuss his bills on AI, Weather Modification, and other prescient issues of our day.

Forty years ago this past week, Americans watched in horror as the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on live television just 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven crew members. An investigation later found that during the coldest-ever shuttle launch, a failure in the O-ring seals—caused in part by the weather—led to the disaster. Hours after the tragedy, President Reagan addressed the nation, calling the crew heroes and vowing that the disaster would not end America's space program. Earlier this week, retired NASA astronauts Bonnie Dunbar and Clayton Anderson joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to reflect on the lives of the seven heroes lost, the evolution of safety protocols following the investigation, and the unwavering spirit of discovery required to reach for the Moon and Mars. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on The FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with retired NASA astronauts Bonnie Dunbar and Clayton Anderson. Learn more about your ad choices.

Woody returns to the Bud Light Studio and suddenly it's 2013 again — except now everyone's older, colder, and way more into arguing about shoes. This episode of The Rizzuto Show is a full-blown comedy podcast reunion that spirals immediately into chaos, as Rizz and Woody pick up exactly where they left off… which is apparently roasting California people for being weak in the cold, questioning why scarves exist, and debating whether New Balance, Hokas, or Nikes are officially “dad shoes” this week.Things escalate quickly when the guys break down the modern shoe game, how trends make zero sense, and why no one under 25 wears no-show socks anymore. From there, it's a straight shot into the wild world of Facebook Marketplace deals that are absolutely stolen, including microwaves pulled from sketchy storage units and a $3,000 TV somehow purchased for $300. No red flags. Totally normal behavior.Then Woody casually drops the fact that he now flies planes — because of course he does. The conversation turns into stories about fighter jets, Thunderbirds, puke planes, skydiving disasters, and why his plane has a literal parachute for the entire aircraft. Somehow this leads to musicians who fly themselves to gigs, Dexter Holland from The Offspring being smarter than all of us combined, and Moon once again questioning every life choice that involves aviation.Just when you think things might calm down, the show takes a hard left turn into legendary Hotshots stories — glitter disasters, wet t-shirt contest bathwater, people doing unspeakable things in parking lots, and the horrifying realization that many of those memories are now over a decade old. It's uncomfortable, hilarious, and deeply on brand.This episode is everything you want from a daily comedy show: old friends, dumb arguments, unbelievable stories, and absolutely no attempt to stay on topic. If you like sarcastic humor, weird news energy, and conversations that feel like they should not be happening on the radio, this comedy podcast episode delivers.Hit play, laugh uncomfortably, and remember why this is your favorite comedy podcast to begin with.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's another beautifully unhinged daily comedy show, and the Rizz Show crew wastes absolutely no time proving why we can't have nice things.First up: the City of St. Louis tries to do something wholesome by offering free salt at firehouses so people can prep for icy sidewalks. Sounds great, right? Wrong. Commercial trucks immediately roll in, scoop up everything like it's a Costco sample, and leave regular residents staring at empty piles wondering how humanity failed so fast. Libertarian pilot program: officially canceled.Then we shift to hockey fashion crimes as Moon gets roasted for wearing a Blues jersey that apparently doesn't meet corporate sponsor requirements. Nothing says “Stanley Cup pride” like being told to remove the most expensive shirt you own. Add cowboy hats, Monster Energy jokes, and a QuickTrip roast, and suddenly Blues Night is already off the rails.Things only escalate from there. Remember Chimp Crazy? Of course you do. Tanya Haddock is back in the news, appealing her federal prison sentence after lying about a chimp's death, hiding Tonka in a basement, and allegedly going on the run with him like some kind of primate-themed crime thriller. The crew debates whether “loving animals too much” is a legal defense while imagining U.S. Marshals finding a chimp in her prison cell.From there, it's census chaos. Missouri gained population — barely — and the crew tries (and fails) to guess how many people actually live in the state. Texas keeps stealing everyone, Idaho is apparently full of bunkers and cult vibes, and St. Louis gets dragged as one of the “ugliest cities in America” by a mystery comedian who clearly didn't hit the Zoo (it's free, by the way).We wrap with Valentine's Day pressure, lingerie shopping anxiety, nudie magazine nostalgia, and why buying your partner underwear is either romantic… or a trap.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
