An All Star Panel Weighs-in: Harvey Cohen, John Lapotaire, David Popper & Peter Crosa. Joining Radio Joe from South Florida, the Restoration Global Watchdog will be On site with a Live Audience! Many in the restoration industry feel July 1st, 2019 was a dark day for Florida’s policyholders, disaster victims and those who service their emergency mitigation, drying, mold remediation, restoration and reconstruction needs after a loss or weather event! A Town Hall was held Thursday, July 11th in South Florida to address the restoration and remediation marketplace in the post AOB era. IAQradio will be covering the proceedings and key issues raised and discussed at the Town Hall on this week’s show. An All-Star panel lead by Harvey V. Cohen, Esq. the founding partner of Orlando-based Cohen Law Group (CLG) will provide Town Hall attendees with a variety of options to service customers and protect their companies’ interests. The Tallahassee insurance lobby won the AOB battle by crushing Florida’s Fee Shifting statute which had enabled mitigation and restoration contractors to service Florida policyholders at their time of greatest need with the assurance they would be fairly compensated for the service. Joining Cohen on the panel will be fellow Orlando-based attorney David H. Popper who specializes in contract law and on occasion will have an overlapping interest in an insurance claim that both firms are involved in. Popper will provide useful advice to Town Hall attendees on the use of legal agreements and forms Florida based restorers and contractors should consider using to be in compliance with state and local statues and to ensure they get paid for their services. Joining Cohen and Popper on the panel will be well known and respected environmental consultant (IEP), expert witness and licensed Florida mold assessor John Lapotaire, CEIC. John and his wife Lydia Lapotaire are well- known in the their home market of Orlando and throughout the Sunshine state for loss evaluation, project specification and oversight, post remediation verification (PRV) and expert opinion when called upon. The panel will be rounded out with the perspective of Peter Crosa, AIC, RPA and former President of the NAIIA the trade association for independent insurance adjusters. Crosa is a frequent speaker at property restoration industry meetings and published author in industry trade journals. Crosa is well known for his marketing seminars for the restoration industry based on his book, ”Soft Selling Hardened Claims Adjusters”. Moderating the Town Hall will be industry Adviser and Facilitator Pete Consigli, CR, WLS. Consigli is an Honorary Member of the Restoration Industry Association (RIA) and the association’s historian. Well known as IAQradio’s “Restoration Global Watchdog”, Consigli is recognized for his passionate advocacy for restoration contractors world-wide. Consigli will kick-off the panel by offering “A Contractor’s Perspective” on the issues based on 2 decades of historical data. History teaches us one important lesson, if we don’t learn from mistakes of the past; they are bound to be repeated! The Town Hall is being Co-hosted by IAQradio sponsor AEML, Inc. Microbiology Laboratories and the Cohen Law Group. The Z-man is unavailable this week, so join Join Radio Joe and the Global Watchdog making his IAQradio preview as a co-host for this week’s podcast. Joe manning the studio and Pete on the ground reporting from the field on the happenings from one of the country’s most important states to watch as the insurance lobby pushes its agenda and restoration industry advocacy groups battle back to level the insurance claims playing field for the greater good of Florida’s policyholders/disaster victims and their chosen “Restoration Contractor of Record” (RCR)! It should be an interesting and dynamic show with a live audience on the ground joining the watchdog and the all star panel from South Florida!

Gray brings some sad news to the Ropecast as we lost a member of our community. MoonlightShadow also gave follow-up information about how to care for rope, which has led Naiia to add "ropewalker" to the service roles she does for Gray. This podcast ...
For a change of pace, this episode features a piece of erotica written by Ropecast fan and patron, Sanger. It's kind of a preview of the class that Naiia and GRay are teaching at Bondage Expo Dallas, called LEATHER and Rope.

This episode contains the second half of Tifereth's discussion at NARIX 2014 on bouncing back from bondage injuries, and it goes deep. Along with other participants such as Ben Hart, Ojipan, Aeolis Est, Naiia, and GoodMostTimes, they begin to develop a framework for improving the way injuries are dealt with in the community, not just for the individual. It's an in-depth talk on a difficult subject that is sure to spark discussion. But first Gray has some exciting news, as the Ropecast has joined the Erotic Awakenings Podcast Network. This means a nifty opening jingle AND associating this podcast with other fine shows like The Fearless Submissive, The Femme Dom Mystique, and even Lee Harrington's Passion and Soul Podcast! Check out the other podcasts for an earful of kink, poly, and general naughtiness. This podcast was brought to you by the wonderful folks at Bastard Ropes as well as the sponsorship of Maui Kink. Coffee was provided by wonderful listeners like you, donating monthly via http://patreon.com/ropecast to keep me caffeinated and the Ropecast going!

Graydancer has two lovely ladies on his podcast: first, a post-con report on the NELA Flea with Naiia, and then off to a foreign land to track down the wonderful Tori Storii for her views as a participant (and now presenter) at Bound in Boston. Still time to register yourself! Gray will be there with DoNotGoGently teaching Full Contact Dom, but you can really get your rope on with many other amazing presenters!
In the first Ropecast since relocating to Pittsburgh, Graydancer shares various segments recorded on his recent travels from coast to coast, including Rachel Kramer Bussel reading from her anthology "Orgasmic" at the In the Flesh Reading Series Mollena Williams' keynote address to the Folsom Fringe 2010 event An interview with Okie Nawa, from the Truly Bound 2 event in Kansas City Deviant Touch, creator of Science Based Sex and co-creator of the Young and Kinky Podcast, gives us some perspectives as a GrUE veteran and explains why he's looking forward to the S'GRUE there in the Bondage Capital of the World, Madison, WI. Other thanks go to Bre and her boy for helping out Naiia and me in the Military Style Bondage class at Truly Bound.
Listener feedback on the advantages of being a rope switch when learning how to rig, and thoughts on types of rope to use. Talking about Dark Odyssey (with special thanks to native guide Naiia, who was often naked as native guides should be) he mentions some of the presenters and friends there: Lochai & K Barbara Carellas Dossie Easton 10 Steve Morgan Calico (his super-awesome demo bottom) Tristan Taormino & C Sarah Sloane Ayem Willing MOLLENA!! (whom he has a bit of a crush on, as well as devious, devious plans...) Extreme Restraints toys are reviewed: the deluxe adjustable nipple clamps (pictured above), the circular nipple clamps, and the ones every rope top should have in their bag (but not for the reason you think!): the Nipplettes Vibrating Nipple Clamps! Also, a review of the tres chic Extreme Anal Jewelry. Feb. 20th was Lolita Wolf's birthday, and to celebrate, Michael the Artist is donating all proceeds from his two stores (Zazzle and Spreadshirt) to the NCSF! A great way to buy rope schwag for a good cause and make Lolita happy. Speaking of making Lolita happy, the main feature of this ropecast is the interview with the Leather Yenta herself, including the actual entry of Graydancer into her 100 Divas Spanking List!
