Show Notes This week on MSB, we're visiting the ferocious world of wuxia action as Domon and a mysterious wandering chef follow the wreckage-strewn path of Neo China's Dragon Gundam and the Gundam Fighter Sai Saici. Plus theatrical fight director and martial artist Sean Michael Chin joins us to discuss megazords, how G Gundam resembles Westerns, the real purpose of a transformation scene, and a character who really isn't weighed down by gravity. Ready? Go! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 10, 2026. 0:30 A newly released DOJ document confirms what Trump supporters have long believed: Donald Trump acted decisively against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell long before entering politics. In 2006, Trump personally called the Palm Beach police chief to thank him for investigating Epstein, praised law enforcement for focusing on Maxwell, and removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. This behavior underscores a consistent pattern of law-and-order instincts, standing in stark contrast to the elites and politicians who ignored Epstein’s crimes. The revelation challenges long-held narratives and reinforces Trump’s reputation as someone who confronts wrongdoing rather than protecting predators. 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Two men from Pennsylvania pled guilty to housing fraud in Minnesota. New York State has become the 13th state in the nation to legalize suicide. Republican Senator Susan Collins announced she is running for reelection. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Extreme cold in New York City has claimed nearly 20 lives, exposing the deadly consequences of misguided policy. Under Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration, homeless individuals were not forced indoors during record-low temperatures, leaving vulnerable people to freeze on the streets. We dig into how ideology—when detached from reality and compassion—can become a matter of life or death, and why true compassion means protecting those who cannot protect themselves. 16:00 Raising children in a culture that increasingly rejects authority is a growing challenge for parents. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson share some practical strategies for instilling respect, boundaries, and decorum from an early age. Experts stress that parents are the first and most influential authority figures—the “parent tape” that shapes a child’s behavior and values for life. From modeling respect for teachers and law enforcement to teaching kids how to express disagreement calmly, these insights show how families can equip the next generation to navigate a world that often celebrates rebellion over responsibility. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 At the Olympics, athletes are meant to represent their country and compete at the highest level—but some are using the global stage to push political narratives. A 54-year-old American curler sparked controversy by criticizing U.S. policies in Minnesota while enjoying the freedoms and opportunities his country provides. Experts call out the entitlement mentality and warn that athletes who blur the line between sport and political activism risk undermining both their platform and the spirit of international competition. 26:00 We Dig Deep into Ronald Reagan’s farewell address. It was a call to embrace patriotism and teach future generations the value of America’s principles. Decades later, surveys reveal a stark generational and partisan decline in national pride—especially among Gen Z, millennials, and Democrats—threatening the transmission of love for liberty, individual rights, and limited government. We explore Reagan’s warning, the data showing America’s waning patriotic spirit, and why teaching children the meaning and history of the nation is more critical than ever. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Alcohol sales are slowing in the U.S., with a staggering $22 billion in unsold inventory, affecting whiskey, tequila, and rum alike. While lower prices might delight consumers, the real story could be deeper: younger generations are drinking less, possibly swapping cocktails for cannabis as legalization spreads. We break down changing consumption habits, and what this shift means for health, culture, and the future of America’s drinking trends. 35:30 New research from Tufts University shows that family dinners aren’t just a nice tradition—they’re a powerful tool for keeping kids off alcohol, vaping, and marijuana. It’s not just about eating together; it’s about the quality of conversation, connection, and attention at the table. We dig into how daily family interactions shape adolescents’ choices, strengthen bonds, and even lay the foundation for a healthier society. A simple habit like dinner could be one of the most effective ways to raise resilient, grounded kids. 39:30 At the 2026 Winter Olympics, Norwegian biathlete Sturla Lagrid shocked fans—not with his bronze medal performance, but with a tearful, on-camera confession about cheating on his girlfriend. We break down the awkward mix of Olympic glory and personal drama, wondering: are we watching a medal ceremony or a rom-com? 41:30 And we finish off with a passerby who saved a pregnant woman's life.

When host Janet Michael talks with Rosemary Wallinger and Laura Fogle for this episode of The Valley Today, she expected a straightforward conversation about local history. What unfolded instead was a remarkable story of discovery, perseverance, and the fight to preserve a crucial piece of American—and African American—heritage that has been hiding in plain sight for nearly 90 years. A Tale of Two Camps Rosemary, president of the CCC Legacy organization, and Laura, the vice president, share how Shenandoah County is home to two historically significant Civilian Conservation Corps camps. While Camp Roosevelt is well-known as the nation's first CCC camp, Wolf Gap - located just 22 miles away - has remained virtually unknown. "Nobody here that we've talked to, other than maybe three people, had ever heard of it," Rosemary reveals. "So we are giving concentrated effort to get it into public awareness." Both camps were among the first ten CCC camps established in the nation. But there's a crucial difference: Wolf Gap became one of the very first African American CCC camps in the country, opening just one month after Camp Roosevelt in 1933. Roosevelt's New Deal in Action As the women explain, the CCC was born from desperation. When Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in 1933, 15 million Americans were unemployed. People were starving. The CCC became one of his fastest-activated New Deal programs, up and running within weeks of his inauguration. The scale was staggering: over 3 million men employed across 4,500 camps nationwide, including 250,000 African Americans and 80,000 Native Americans. Young men—officially aged 17 to 25, though many lied about their age to enroll as young as 15—earned $30 a month. Twenty-five dollars went directly home to their families; they kept just $5 for themselves. "It was another great stimulus program for the whole country," Laura explains. "The guys that were working got to keep $5 a month and their families got the other 25 back home to spend on groceries and needs. The communities around the CCC camps profited because they supplied the food. The farmers had work, the mercantiles had work, the lumber yards had work." The average enrollee gained 35 pounds during their service—a stark testament to the poverty they'd escaped. They learned carpentry, metalworking, and conservation skills. Those who couldn't read or write were taught in camp classes. The Accomplishments History Forgot During the conversation, Rosemary rattles off Wolf Gap's impressive achievements: 16,000 acres of trees planted, 45 miles of road built, 60 miles of horse trails, 100 miles of telephone line, 50 miles of roadside naturalization, and three miles of stream improvement. The camp protected 100,000 acres of local forest, fought a three-day fire at Cedar Creek in 1935, and rescued more than 1,200 residents from floodwaters in March 1936. "Their accomplishments were just astonishing," Rosemary says. "It's shocking that it's unknown to have a list of accomplishments that long, and yet nobody even knows they were here," says Janet. The infrastructure these young men built—in national parks, state parks, and forests across America—still stands today, a testament to the quality of their work. A Serendipitous Discovery Rosemary's discovery of Wolf Gap came while researching her family's involvement in the 1880 race riot at Columbia Furnace. On the Edinburg Memories website, she found a post from Helen Larkin Burton describing how, as a young girl in her father's store, she watched "the boys from the Wolf Gap CCC" come to shop. It was, Burton wrote, the first time she'd ever seen a Black person. "I thought, what CCC are we talking about at Wolf Gap?" Rosemary recalls. She contacted a local historian who confirmed it: "Best kept secret in Shenandoah County." That discovery sparked a grassroots movement. Rosemary assembled a team of dedicated women to pursue state byway designation for Route 675, the road connecting both camps. They succeeded in getting the byway designation and are now working to have it officially named the Shenandoah County CCC Memorial Byway. The Segregation Story The conversation delves into the painful reality of segregation within the CCC. Though African American legislator Oscar De Priest had declared there would be "no discrimination according to race, creed, or color," Robert Fechner, a southerner who helped administer the program, declared that "separate was not unequal." Wolf Gap started as a white camp in its first year but became an African American camp in 1934 when administrators realized they hadn't factored in "how deeply segregated the south still was in the thirties," as Laura explains. African American camps were intentionally placed in remote areas, presumably to avoid racist confrontation. The irony, Rosemary notes, was that when African American enrollees worked battlefields to the point where tourists wanted to visit, they were often transferred to another remote location. Local populations frequently protested the placement of these camps. Finding the Descendants One of the team's greatest accomplishments, shared emotionally during the conversation, was connecting with Roy Allen Cooper, whose father, Oswald Bentley Cooper, was an enrollee at Wolf Gap. While serving, Oswald met Evelyn McAfee from Woodstock. They married and raised nine children—eight boys and one girl named Georgia—on Water Street and Spring Street in Woodstock. Roy's brother Bobby became a well-known local restaurateur, first as the opening cook at the Spring House restaurant in 1973, then running his own establishment. Roy now serves on the CCC Legacy board, providing a vital personal connection to Wolf Gap's history. The Research Challenge "The white CCC was well recorded, records up your wazoo," Rosemary says candidly during the conversation. "But the history of the Black camps is just sparse and what's there is difficult to find." The team has uncovered treasures, including a regional annual with the only known photographs of Wolf Gap enrollees—two large portraits showing the men's names and hometowns. Many came from a community in Southwest Virginia called Agricola, offering potential leads for finding more descendants. Rosemary's research has also uncovered broader stories, including the Preston Lake Rebellion in upstate New York, where African American enrollees trained as leaders were told to step down when white enrollees joined the camp. The men rebelled for three days before being sent back to Harlem—a story that even New York State's historical resources department didn't know about. The Interpretive Center and What's Next The women discuss the James R. Wilkins Sr. Interpretive Center at the US Forest Service Office in Edinburg—a partially completed museum dedicated to CCC history. Wilkins supervised projects at both camps. His son, Jimmy, has been a primary funder along with his sister Donna. The center is open to the public but unfinished. The organization is working to finalize a new agreement with the US Forest Service. As Laura emphasizes in the conversation, 2033 will mark the hundredth anniversary of the CCC's birth, and Camp Roosevelt was the first CCC camp in the nation. "Virginia was truly the epicenter of the CCC," she says. "The state of Virginia needs to embrace that history." Why This Matters When board member Colette Sylvestri presented to 300 students at George Mason University, the most frequent question was: "Why weren't we taught this?" "So much of the history of the CCC in general has just fallen by the wayside," Laura laments. Many people in their forties have never even heard of the Civilian Conservation Corps, let alone understand its contribution to the nation. The CCC didn't just build infrastructure—it restored America. As Laura puts it: "These men who built this country, really the CCC restored the United States of America to what it became after World War II." How to Get Involved The CCC Legacy welcomes new members at $35 annually. Members receive quarterly publications including bulletins and a journal with stories from CCC camps across the country. The organization also offers presentations to civic groups and is actively seeking volunteers, particularly web developers to help update their website at ccclegacy.org. For those with family connections to the CCC, the National Archives has digitized enrollee names, making it possible to search for relatives online. As the conversation wraps up, Rosemary makes a simple request: "Spread the word that this is a thing. We want people to know that this is our history." Both Camp Roosevelt and Wolf Gap are accessible to visitors today. Camp Roosevelt operates as a Forest Service campground with interpretive signage throughout. Wolf Gap, currently undergoing Forest Service renovations, will soon have its own signage installed. Standing at these remote, quiet sites at dusk, Rosemary shares, "I can hear the voices" - a poignant reminder that history isn't just about dates and statistics. It's about the young men who slept in West Virginia, walked to Virginia for breakfast, and built the America we know today.

Show Notes This week on MSB: prog rock, MTV VJs (that's Video DJ for any youngsters in the audience), a science fiction double feature, something even more evil than Ticketmaster, the greatest and only city in the world, and just a little bit of G Gundam. Plus, Nina reports back on three whole episodes of Gundam you've almost certainly never seen! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by environmental policy expert Judith Enck, co-author of The Problem with Plastic and president of Beyond Plastics, for a frank conversation about why plastic recycling has largely failed—and why that failure wasn't an accident.Judith unpacks how the plastics industry has known for decades that recycling doesn't work, while spending millions convincing the public otherwise. We also explore the human and environmental costs of plastic production, from “Cancer Alley” in Louisiana—where petrochemical plants line the Mississippi River—to the growing body of research showing microplastics in our blood, organs, placenta, and breast milk.But this isn't just a story of harm. It's a call to action. The conversation turns toward real, systemic solutions—like policy efforts to reduce single-use plastics, eliminate toxic chemicals in packaging, and invest in reuse and refill systems.The takeaway? Individual choices matter—but lasting change comes when many people work together, imperfectly but persistently, to transform the systems and laws shaping our world.About JudithJudith Enck is a faculty member at Bennington College, where she teaches courses on plastic pollution, and the founder of Beyond Plastics, an organization that works with community leaders and policymakers to reduce plastic pollution. She also leads the college's Environmental Action Fellowship.Appointed by President Obama, Judith served as the longest-tenured Regional Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Region 2, overseeing environmental protection in New York, New Jersey, eight Tribal Nations, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She has also held senior roles in New York State government, including Deputy Secretary for the Environment, Policy Advisor to the Attorney General, and Executive Director of Environmental Advocates of New York.A frequent public commentator, Judith appears on WAMC Northeast Public Radio's The Roundtable. She is the co-author of the new book The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late.Thanks for listening to Hawthorne Valley's Roots to Renewal podcast.

On Tuesday Feb 3, the state legislature held a public hearing on the transportation portion of the state budget. There was a surprising lack of testimony advocating increased funding for mass transit, though the NYS association for Public Transportation submitted written comments, mainly focused on the underfunding of mass transit update. The State provided $245.5 million in capital aid to non-MTA systems in FY 2025-26. The Executive Budget proposes a reduction to $223.5 million. With aging assets and rising costs, investment must grow to avoid worsening infrastructure conditions. The American Public Transportation Association estimates that you can save over $13,000 annually by using public transit instead of driving. Overall, Unmet transportation needs in New York State center on gaps in rural transit, limited "last-mile" service, and inadequate access for seniors and people with disabilities, particularly for medical and work-related travel. The MTA seemed relatively pleased with its funding, noting that 2025 was the biggest year ever for capital commitments -- $15.8 billion. More than $5 billion of that came from congestion pricing. Other speakers noted that state funding for the passenger rail program is currently smaller than it was during the Pataki Administration. In this segment we hear mainly about safe streets and accessibility issues for individuals with disability. First is Amy Cohen of Families for Safe Streets. Followed by Elizabeth Adams of Transportation Alternatives, Christopher Grief of the ADA Accessibility Transportation Group and Alexandra Mikowski of Access to Independence of Cortland County
Aaron Schumm, CEO and Founder of Vestwell, knows firsthand how broken America's savings system is. When he tried to set up a 401k for his previous 30-person company back in 2010, the process was so difficult, expensive, and confusing that he decided to build a better solution. Today, Vestwell serves 2 million savers with $50 billion in assets, has reduced 401k setup times from 40-70 hours down to just minutes, and runs 14 state-sponsored auto IRA programs including New York's Secure Choice.In this episode, Aaron explains why fintech has largely failed to move the needle on financial health, too many point solutions that put the onus back on individuals to figure out what to do and then implement it across multiple accounts. His solution? AI agents that will automatically route money from your paycheck to the optimal savings vehicle based on your income, location, tax rates, existing savings, and life circumstances. And he says we're less than a year away from making that a reality.In this podcast you will learn:What is broken with the current savings system in America.The problem at his previous business that was the a-ha moment for Vestwell.Their initial use case and how they got going.How their product works exactly.The three channels they work with.How they are working with New York State and other government programs.The conversations they are having with the Federal government around savings programs.The percentage of employees who typically sign up for an auto-enroll program.The scale that Vestwell is at today.What their technology stack looks like.How much easier it is to set up a workplace savings plan through Vestwell than traditional companies.The different revenue lines for Vestwell.How they are working with Amazon.Why we are not further along in helping Americans with their financial health.How autonomous AI agents are going to optimize our financial lives in the future.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

#truetalks #podcast #interview #professor #researcher #robotics #AI #artificialintelligence #LLM #GuideDogOn this episode of the Truetalks Podcast, we sit down with a very special guest, Professor Shiqi Zhang. Shiqi Zhang is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and a researcher at Binghamton University, who offers a unique perspective on the intersection of robotics and AI.Professor Zhang, who has been working on all kinds of robots for 15 years, discusses his background, including his early work in pattern recognition that led to technology for cell phones to automatically rotate images based on gravity detection. He clarifies a big misconception, explaining that AI is "much more than generative... models," encompassing fields like computer vision, robotics, and natural language processing. We also explore the future of mobile robotics, including advancements in the locomotion of humanoid robots, and his current work on developing a robotic guide dog to serve the blind and visually impaired. The goal of this research is to provide an alternative to biological guide dogs, since training a guide dog can be very expensive, costing about $50,000 in many places or up to $150,000 in New York State, and the graduation rate is low, under 50%.Get ready to rethink your understanding of AI and the transformative work being done in robotics.

What do Irish rebel songs and Star Trek have in common? This week on Pub Songs & Stories, we raise a glass to courage, truth, and the songs that refuse to obey. From the Easter Rising of 1916 to a Cardassian interrogation chamber, today's songs ask one dangerous question: Do you trust your own eyes? Music from Kinnfolk, Erin Ruth, Marc Gunn, The Irish Lassies This is Pub Songs & Stories #312 0:29 - Kinnfolk "A Wintertime Feast" from A Wintertime Feast 5:15 - WELCOME TO PUB SONGS & STORIES Every song has a story, every episode is a toast to Celtic and folk songwriters.

Instead of praising Irish soldiers who died fighting for England in World War I, the song asks why they were not fighting for their own land instead. It tells of ordinary men and women who stood up against a powerful empire, even when the odds were stacked against them. That's why it's a rebel song—it's about choosing freedom, courage, and self-respect over obedience. Versions like the one by Erin Ruth keep that spirit alive, reminding us that quiet voices can still challenge injustice and inspire change. 15:09 - Erin Ruth "The Foggy Dew" from Erin Ruth 18:25 - NEW PROTEST SONG INSPIRED BY STAR TREK: NEXT GENERATION "Chain of Command, Part II" from Star Trek: The Next Generation centers on Captain Picard as a prisoner of the Cardassians. His captor, Gul Madred, uses pain and fear to try to control him. But the real goal is not information. It is obedience. Madred wants Picard to stop trusting his own eyes and accept what the government tells him is true. Again and again, Picard is pushed to say something he knows is false. The episode shows how power can try to rewrite reality—and how courage can be as simple, and as hard, as holding on to the truth. It echoes George Orwell's 1984, reminding us that the final test of freedom is whether we trust our own eyes—or believe the government when it tells us we are wrong. 21:34 - Marc Gunn "Four Lights" from Four Lights single 23:56 - TODAY'S SHOW IS BROUGHT TO BY CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of people on a relaxing adventure to one of the Celtic nations.

Your support is the reason I'm still making music, telling stories, and showing up month after month. Patreon is how modern, independent musicians survive and thrive. Album Pins and CDs help get me on the road and in front of live audiences, but my day-to-day livelihood—the time it takes to write, record, podcast, film, and share—comes directly from Patrons of the Arts. As we continue into a new year, Patreon is where everything comes together. Patrons receive a brand-new song download every month. These are exclusive tracks you won't find anywhere else—works in progress, experiments, and finished songs that come straight from my creative desk to you. You'll also get regular updates when there's news to share, behind-the-scenes blogs, short and long-form videos, and access to a growing archive of bootleg concert recordings and special performances. You can join for as little as $5 a month. That small commitment adds up to real stability. It buys time to write songs. It funds recording and production. It keeps the creative engine running without chasing algorithms or trends. And if supporting financially isn't possible right now, that's okay. You can still join Patreon for free and receive regular updates, thoughts, and stories as they happen. Being part of the community matters, whether you're pledging or simply listening along. Patreon isn't just support—it's collaboration. It's how these songs, podcasts, and ideas exist at all. If you'd like more details, just email follow@celtfather. I'd love to have you along for the journey this year. 27:08 - QUEST & CHORUS of IRISH LASSIES The Irish Lassies are a 6-piece American Celtic folk band native to New York's Finger Lakes region. The band started when long-time childhood friends decided to take their casual Irish sessions and grow into a professional folk group. In only a few short years, the Irish Lassies have become known as one of the premier Celtic bands in New York State. Their self-titled album The Irish Lassies is comprised of traditional Irish music with unique Lassies' arrangements. Immigration Stories, an all-original album, aims to take listeners back to 18th and 19th century America with heart-felt true tales of Irish settlers. The Lassies' unique style focuses on powerful ballads using six-part harmonies and soulful songs that will invite you to raise a glass, dance, and sing along with a set list that takes you on a journey from Ireland to America. Slainte! 32:42 - The Irish Lassies "Burnout on the Peanut line" from Immigration Stories 35:14 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Pub Songs & Stories. This episode was edited by Mitchell Petersen. You can follow and listen to the show on my Patreon or wherever you find podcasts. Sign up to my mailing list to learn more about songs featured in this podcast and discover where I'm performing. Before we go, a quick reminder: caring about Celtic culture also means caring about the land that shaped it. The songs we love were born from fields, coasts, forests, and villages that depend on a healthy planet. Climate action doesn't have to be loud or perfect. It starts small. Walk when you can. Choose renewable energy if it's available to you. Support artists, farmers, and local businesses who care about the earth. Reduce waste. Reuse what you can. Leave a place better than you found it. When we protect the land, we protect the music, the stories, and the generations yet to sing them. Sláinte—and thank you for listening. Join the Quest and Sing Along at www.pubsong.com! #pubstories
Send us a textImagine being told a first-grade reading level will define your future—then deciding to rewrite the script. That's the spark behind our conversation with Russell, a New York State–funded dyslexia researcher who turned personal roadblocks into a practical method that helps students jump from frustration to fluency without elite price tags.We dig into the brain science that actually moves the needle: stop hammering the back of the brain where dyslexic readers show low activity and start training the frontal systems where activity surges. Russell explains a deceptively simple routine that blends word analysis and articulation: build three-word sentences grounded in the learner's real interests, read them aloud to ensure they sound right, then retype each misspelled word until it sticks. It's a 10-minute fix that compounds into stronger grammar, better spelling, and—crucially—confidence. If they can write it, they can read it. And as sentences become body paragraphs and paragraphs become essays, organization emerges from a fast, creative mind.You'll hear vivid case studies. High schoolers in his pilot went from near-zero percentiles to college-ready performance in a single school year. A homeschooled fifth grader climbed from the 11th to the 64th percentile in reading and from the 4th to 65th in writing, with grammar hitting the 97th percentile. The common thread is motivation: specificity beats slog. Start with a student's genuine specialty, then use targeted questions to move from the specific to the general, borrowing the “context, problem, solution” frame from The Craft of Research to teach structure early. We even map how a 10-year-old building a Mars literature review can learn the peer-review process years ahead of schedule.We also talk access. Russell's program pairs weekly expert guidance with a full curriculum—from corrected sentences to publishable work—at a price families can manage. The goal isn't endless accommodation; it's training that respects how neurodiverse brains learn and transfers to real classrooms. If you're a parent, teacher, or curious learner ready for tools that work, tune in, try the sentence routine, and see what shifts for your student this week. If it helps, share the episode, subscribe for more practical strategies, and leave a review to tell us what changed for you.Support the showSJ CHILDS - SOCIALS & WEBSITE MASTER LIST WEBSITES - Stream-Able Live — https://www.streamable.live-COMING SOON - The SJ Childs Global Network — https://www.sjchilds.org - The SJ Childs Show Podcast Page — https://www.sjchildsshow.com YOUTUBE - The SJ Childs Show — https://www.youtube.com/@sjchildsshow - Louie Lou (Cats Channel) — https://www.youtube.com/@2catslouielou FACEBOOK - Personal Profile — https://www.facebook.com/sara.gullihur.bradford - Business Page — https://www.facebook.com/sjchildsllc - The SJ Childs Global Network — https://www.facebook.com/sjchildsglobalnetwork - The SJ Childs Show — https://www.facebook.com/SJChildsShow INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/sjchildsllc/ TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@sjchildsllc LINKEDIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sjchilds/ PODCAST PLATFORMS - Spotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/4qgD3ZMOB2unfPxqacu3cC - Apple Podcasts — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sj-childs-show/id1548143291 CONTACT EMAIL - sjchildsllc@gmail.com

On January 28, the New York State legislature held a 12 hour hearing on the environmental and energy parts of the state budget. The bulk of the hearing was devoted to Q and A with the heads of the Governor's various environmental agencies such as DEC, NYPA, NYSERDA, and the Public Service Commission. Many were surprised that the Governor failed to include any proposed amendments to weaken the state climate law, though those proposals may be coming later or will be done through the rule making powers of the PSC. There was largely no new major funding for climate action in the budget. In part one of our coverage, we hear from Liz Moran of Earth Justice, Alexis Goldsmith of Beyond Plastics, Shi Soin of TREEAge on behalf of NY Renews; and Anshul Gupta of New Yorkers for Clean Power. By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
