David Bozell discusses his family's conservative political background in Washington, D.C., and how his father helped launch the Media Research Center after earlier work with NCPAC. He describes the MRC's early years as resource-poor but focused on documenting media bias, including work at the 1988 conventions and support from donors and figures in conservative media. He also talks about the organization's relationship with Rush Limbaugh, saying MRC supplied clips and documentation that supported Limbaugh's on-air commentary. Bozell reflects on Limbaugh's influence and on how conservative media grew through talk radio and strong messaging. Bozell then explains how MRC's focus has shifted to digital platforms such as Apple News, Google News, Yahoo, and MSN, where he says the organization tracks the visibility of center-right voices. He closes by urging audiences to share content, contact news platforms about imbalance, and push for more conservative sources in mainstream distribution.   Connect with David

Is the AI industry actually overbuilding, or is the physical world moving too slowly to keep up? In this episode of the MAD Podcast, OpenAI's Head of Industrial Compute, Sachin Katti, takes us inside the "belly of the beast" of what may be the largest infrastructure project in human history. We explore the staggering physical reality of the AI boom—from $50 billion supercomputers and liquid-cooled data centers that "turn electrons into tokens," to overhauling the U.S. power grid and exploring nuclear energy. Sachin also pulls back the curtain on OpenAI's Stargate strategy, their move into custom silicon with Project Jalapeno, and the mind-bending reality that AI is now beginning to design the very chips that will power its own future.(00:00) — Cold open: “One of the largest things humanity has ever built”(00:30) — Welcome: Sachin Katti, Head of Industrial Compute at OpenAI(01:44) — Is this the biggest infrastructure buildout in history?(03:41) — Why OpenAI is building a new industrial muscle(04:54) — What an AI data center actually is(05:27) — “Factories turning electrons into tokens”(06:35) — Why AI data centers need liquid cooling everywhere(08:10) — The power problem: grids, generation, transmission, substations(10:43) — Behind-the-meter power and gas turbines(11:02) — Why nuclear “can't come soon enough”(11:49) — Jalapeño: why OpenAI is designing its own AI chips(13:19) — Tokens per watt: the new metric that matters(13:38) — Why inference may now dominate AI compute(14:58) — Is OpenAI overbuilding compute?(16:47) — Why OpenAI thinks the bigger risk is not building fast enough(17:55) — Communities, jobs, water, and the local data-center debate(21:16) — How OpenAI chooses data-center sites(22:25) — What “industrial compute” means inside OpenAI(25:59) — Sachin's path: Stanford, startups, Intel, OpenAI(28:05) — OpenAI's compute portfolio: Microsoft, hyperscalers, neoclouds(29:37) — Stargate explained(31:21) — Abilene, Oracle, and the next wave of AI data centers(32:48) — How massive AI compute gets financed(34:05) — How OpenAI designed Jalapeño so quickly(35:59) — AI is starting to help design AI chips(36:20) — MRC: the networking problem behind 100,000 GPUs(38:47) — Bottlenecks: transformers, turbines, electricians, supply chains(40:29) — Guaranteed capacity: intelligence as a supply unit(42:08) — Will AI data centers move to space?

UV filters are one of those deceptively simple pieces of camera gear that somehow manage to spark wildly passionate opinions.Some photographers swear by them. Others won't let them anywhere near their expensive glass. And somewhere in the middle are a whole lot of people wondering, “Wait… do I actually need one of these things?”In this episode of The Wild Photographer, we're taking a practical, field-tested look at UV filters: what they are, why they exist, why they mattered more in the film era, and why many photographers still use them today even though digital cameras don't really need UV filtration in the same way.The big shift is this: for most modern photographers, UV filters are no longer about filtering UV light. They're about protection.A good UV filter acts like a clear, protective layer in front of your lens. It can help shield your front element from scratches, smudges, dust, rain, mud, salt spray, and the occasional “oops, that branch was closer than I thought” moment. And for photographers who travel, guide, shoot in rough conditions, or frequently clean their gear in the field, that extra layer can provide a lot of peace of mind.But there are trade-offs. Cheap filters can potentially degrade image quality, stacking filters can cause issues like vignetting or optical weirdness, and if you're using extremely high-end prime lenses, there's a very reasonable argument that you may not want to place a lower-quality piece of glass in front of a truly elite lens.So this episode is less about declaring UV filters “good” or “bad,” and more about understanding when they make sense, when they don't, and how to shop for one if you decide to use them.UV Filter Product Links MentionedHere are the UV filter brands and shopping resources mentioned in the episode:PolarPro QuartzLine UV Filters — a higher-end UV filter option with quartz glass, anti-reflection coatings, scratch protection, and no exposure adjustment needed.Hoya UV Filters at B&H Photo — Hoya offers a wide range of UV and protective filters, including multi-coated and higher-end HD options.Hoya HD3 UV Filter — a premium Hoya UV filter with nano multicoating, scratch resistance, water and oil repellency, and no exposure change.B+W UV-Haze MRC MASTER Filter — a high-quality UV protection filter with MRC nano coating and low reflective qualities.B+W Clear Protection Filter — a clear protective filter option designed to protect against dust, fingerprints, splashing water, and other field hazards.B&H Photo Protective and UV Filters — a useful place to compare UV, haze, and protective filters by size, brand, price, and coating type.Lensrentals — a place where photographers can research or rent gear, including filters depending on availability.Final TakeawayUV filters are not magic. They will not transform your photos, make your colors explode, or really much of anything when it comes to look.But a good UV filter can protect your lens, make cleaning easier, reduce stress in rugged field conditions, and help preserve resale value. For most lenses, especially everyday travel, wildlife, and landscape lenses, I think they're a very smart investment.The key is to buy a good one. Look for reputable brands, multi-coated glass, and a price point that matches the quality of the lens you're protecting.And when you're stacking filters, working with ultra-premium glass, or chasing the absolute highest optical quality possible, that may be the time to take the UV filter off and let the lens do its thing.Court's WebsitesCheck out my photo portfolio here: shop.courtwhelan.comSign up for my photo and conservation blog at www.courtwhelan.comFollow me on YouTube (@courtwhelan) for more photography tipsView my camera kit and recommended camera gearSponsors and Promo Codes:MPB.com - Buy, Sell, or Trade Camera GearArtStorefronts.com - Mention this podcast for free photo website designBayPhoto.com - 25% off your first order (code: TWP25) ArtHelper.com - a photo community to learn, share and be inspiredArthelper.Ai - Smart tools to promo and showcase your art.LensRentals.com - WildPhoto15 for 15% off

It was instigated by Dr Lade Smith, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists who chose women's mental health as a key focus when she took up her post three years ago. As Lade steps down from that role, she joins Anita to talk about why she thinks that the women's mental healthcare is in crisis and her vision for improvements.When bride-to-be Kayley Stead was left alone at the altar on her wedding day in 2022, she did what few would think to do - she let the wedding continue. Kayley's photos of enjoying her wedding alone, including the speeches, the first dance and cutting the cake, went viral. Other women congratulated her for celebrating herself and still enjoying the day. Four years on, she's found love again - she's engaged! - and she says she wants her wedding to be "a big party."

Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.In this episode of the New England Endurance Podcast, we head to Manchester, Connecticut, to sit down with David Fusfeld, President of the Manchester Running Club.David shares his own “adult onset runner” story, starting in his 30s, getting hooked on the marathon, qualifying for Boston, completing 23 marathons, and recently earning his Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star medal. From there, we dive into the history and growth of Manchester Running Club, which started in 2009 and has become one of Connecticut's most active and visible running communities. The conversation explores how MRC balances competitive racing with a welcoming social culture, why group runs often work best when they mix workouts, breweries, long runs, and coffee, and what makes Manchester such a strong running town. David also highlights the club's signature events, including the Spring Street Mile & 5K and the MRC Track & Field Series, a summer event that brings hundreds of kids and adults to the track each week and helps introduce young athletes to the sport. We also talk about the broader Connecticut running scene, the growth of clubs across the state, the iconic Manchester Road Race on Thanksgiving, and why David believes Connecticut is “punching above its weight” as a running community.Whether you're a competitive runner, a social runner, a parent looking to get your kids involved, or someone nervous about joining a club for the first time, this episode is a great reminder that running is better when you find your people.Learn more:Manchester Running Club: manchesterrunningclub.comMRC Track & Field Series: mrctf.orgInstagram: @manchesterrunningclubPhotography: @meteredexposureThis podcast embarks on a journey to showcase and celebrate the endurance sports community in New England.

In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick is joined by a guest she has been trying to bring back to the show for years: Holly Sandberg, a veteran leader in fraud operations, Americas Advisory Board at MRC and the former Director of Trust and Safety at Reverb. As the industry grapples with the rapid rise of Generative AI, Holly and Karisse cut through the "robot takeover" anxiety to provide a grounded, expert perspective on the future of fraud leadership.The conversation explores the evolving mechanics of AI in trust and safety, detailing why the "human element" remains the ultimate force multiplier for technical models. Holly shares why senior fraud leadership cannot be replaced by LLMs, noting that the critical "domain expertise" required to manage sophisticated fraud—and spot model drift—is not found in open-source data.We also explore the "hot topics" dominating the fraud landscape today:The AI Visibility Strategy: Why volunteering for AI steering committees and working cross-functionally is the best way to prove your indispensability to leadership.Hallucinations and Data Gaps: A deep dive into the "bias toward certainty" in AI, featuring a hilarious yet cautionary example of "pizza fraud" hallucinations and the risks of depending on LLMs for math and complex policy.Career Resilience in a Changing Market: Tactical advice on navigating layoffs, the "quiet rehiring" trend, and how to pitch your value for a promotion by focusing on what you will do, rather than just what you've done.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur des Afghans coincés au Qatar, un recours déposé à l'UA contre la révision constitutionnelle au Cameroun et la flotte moustique iranienne. Tirs contre Donald Trump : comment l'assaillant a-t-il percé la sécurité présidentielle ?  Alors que Donald Trump avait jusqu'à maintenant refusé de prendre part au traditionnel dîner annuel des correspondants de la présidence, sa première participation tourne au drame. Des coups de feu ont retenti au Hilton de Washington, où se tenait la cérémonie, juste après le discours de bienvenue. Des tirs visant le président américain qui a rapidement été évacué. Comment l'assaillant a-t-il pu s'approcher si près de Donald Trump avec une arme lors de ce gala normalement sécurisé ? Cet événement va-t-il entraîner des mesures de sécurité plus strictes ?  Avec Guillaume Naudin, présente la chronique « La fabrique du monde » sur RFI.      États-Unis : quel sort pour les Afghans coincés au Qatar ?   Près de 1 100 Afghans qui ont travaillé avec l'armée américaine sont aujourd'hui coincés au Qatar. Alors que l'administration de l'ancien président, Joe Biden, avait promis de les accueillir sur le sol américain, l'administration de Donald Trump cherche maintenant à les envoyer dans un pays d'Afrique subsaharienne. Parmi ces pays, figurent la RDC avec laquelle les États-Unis viennent de signer un accord migratoire. Qui sont exactement ces Afghans ? Pourquoi sont-ils actuellement bloqués au Qatar ? Comment Washington justifie-t-il son refus de rapatrier les Afghans sur le sol américain comme l'avait promis Biden ?  Avec Nicolas Rocca, journaliste au service international de RFI.      Cameroun : pourquoi l'opposition dénonce une révision constitutionnelle « illégale » ?  Au Cameroun, le parti d'opposition, le Mouvement pour la renaissance du Cameroun (MRC) de Maurice Kamto, a « saisi les instances compétentes de l'Union africaine (UA) » pour contester la révision constitutionnelle adoptée par le gouvernement camerounais au début du mois d'avril. Pourquoi le MRC dénonce-t-il un « coup d'État constitutionnel » ?  Maurice Kamto a-t-il des chances d'être entendu par l'UA ? Avec Stéphane Akoa, analyste politique pour la Fondation Paul Ango Ela.      Iran : pourquoi la « flotte moustique » inquiète les Américains ?  Alors que les négociations entre Washington et Téhéran n'ont toujours pas repris au Pakistan, la menace iranienne en mer prend de l'ampleur. La raison : leur « flotte moustique ». De quoi s'agit-il exactement ? En quoi pourrait-il peser dans les discussions avec les États-Unis ?

The discussion centers on how modern ATOs have shifted from simple credential theft to sophisticated schemes where the account itself holds more value than a stolen credit card. You will learn why traditional security measures like SMS-based 2FA are increasingly vulnerable to SIM swapping and phishing, and how grounding digital identity in physical location behavior can provide a 99.9% accurate, frictionless authentication experience. By leveraging "smart friction" and indoor location intelligence, platforms can effectively distinguish between a legitimate user setting up a new device and a professional fraudster, ultimately reducing ATO rates to zero.   Ready to see where your own mobile application might be vulnerable to these sophisticated attacks?

In this episode of the Fraudology podcast, Karisse Hendrick is joined by Matt Vega, Chief Fraud Strategist at Sardine, to explore how artificial intelligence has fundamentally altered the threat landscape for financial institutions and online retailers.First, Matt reveals the alarming ease with which AI can now be used to orchestrate phishing campaigns. Using advanced tools like Vercel's v0, Matt demonstrates how he can clone a legitimate website—complete with branding, functional images, and login flows—in less than five minutes. He explains how attackers use these replicas to execute sophisticated "man-in-the-middle" attacks, tricking victims into handing over two-factor authentication (2FA) codes to gain fully authenticated access to accounts.Later in the episode, Matt and Karisse dive into the rise of "polymorphic" AI attacks. These autonomous agents are capable of adapting their behavior in real-time to bypass bot detection and security thresholds as soon as they are implemented. Matt also discusses "dust trailing," a tactic where fraudsters spread large volumes of small transactions across hundreds of platforms to make traditional human investigation cost-prohibitive.In this episode, we discuss:The 5-Minute Phish: How AI models use simple screenshots and prompts to create pixel-perfect clones of banks and government agencies.Polymorphic Attacks: The emergence of autonomous AI agents that instantly adapt to security controls, making traditional bot mitigation obsolete.The Power of Basics: Why "low-tech" solutions like card-to-name matching and behavioral biometrics remain the most effective tools against high-tech fraud.Threat Intelligence: Best practices for proactive defense, including beacon technology, "hidden watermarks," and strategic domain acquisition.Upcoming Events: Details on meeting Matt and the Sardine team at the upcoming MRC conference in Las Vegas.
