===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 14th Publish Date:  November 14th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, November 14th and Happy Birthday to Alec John Such I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal GHC has highest enrollment growth among state colleges Cobb Sheriff’s Lt. Col. Dewayne Morris laid to rest after lifetime of public service Cobb’s proposed stormwater fee receives mild criticism Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on pesticides All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: MATCH MAGIC GIVEATHON STORY 1: GHC has highest enrollment growth among state colleges  Georgia Highlands College is on a roll. Over the past three years, enrollment has jumped 23%, now nearing 6,000 students—a record-breaking pace that’s earned GHC top honors from the USG Board of Regents for the fastest growth among state colleges. “This growth shows how deeply connected we are to the communities we serve,” said President Mike Hobbs. “As Northwest Georgia grows, we’re here to prepare graduates for meaningful careers and help businesses thrive.” Statewide, the University System of Georgia hit an all-time high this fall with 382,142 students, driven by a surge in in-state enrollment. Ready to join? Apply by January at apply.highlands.edu. STORY 2: Cobb Sheriff’s Lt. Col. Dewayne Morris laid to rest after lifetime of public service  Dewayne Morris, a man who lived and breathed public service, was laid to rest Tuesday after passing on Nov. 7 at the age of 63. A lieutenant colonel with the Cobb Sheriff’s Office and a retired sergeant from Cobb County Police, Morris dedicated his life to law enforcement. From his early days at Powder Springs PD to his decades with Cobb Police—where he earned two Meritorious Service medals—he was known for his leadership, grit, and heart. But Dewayne wasn’t just a cop. He loved fast cars, Diet Mountain Dew, Little Debbies, and cheering for the Braves and Hawks. He never met a stranger. A true hero. STORY 3: Cobb’s proposed stormwater fee receives mild criticism  Cobb County’s proposed $4.75 monthly stormwater fee is back on the table, but this time, the backlash is quieter—at least for now. Last year, the idea sparked packed meetings and fiery opposition. This week? A handful of speakers, mostly supportive or cautiously critical. The fee would nearly double the stormwater budget, funding overdue repairs, new equipment, and even regional detention projects. Homeowners would pay $4.75 a month, while businesses, churches, and schools would be charged based on impervious surfaces. Critics still call it a “tax,” and some HOAs argue they’re being double-billed. A final vote is set for Nov. 20. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: Peer-led mental health center coming to Marietta’s First Presbyterian A new drop-in mental health center is set to open at First Presbyterian Church near Marietta Square, offering something rare: a space for connection, not just treatment. Run by NAMI Cobb, the center will focus on peer-led therapy—think group activities, coffee chats, and one-on-one support with trained specialists who’ve been there. “It’s about community,” said Neill Blake, NAMI Cobb’s programs director. “Sometimes, just coffee and conversation can be life-changing.” Opening early next year, the free center will feature art therapy, games, meditation, and more. For those battling isolation, it’s a lifeline. “Loneliness makes everything worse,” Blake added. “This could save lives.” STORY 5: OUT AND ABOUT: 5 things to do this weekend in Cobb County — Nov. 14 - 16 Atlanta Opera: ‘La Traviata’ This weekend’s your last chance to catch Verdi’s La Traviata at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

Can tech stave off a surge of synthetic spokespeople?  That is one question we discussed when I had Nick Toso on the podcast. He's the founder and CEO of Rolli, an AI-powered platform that provides state-of-the-art tools and resources for newsgathering.Nick began his career in newsrooms (started at Voice of America, eventually becoming a bureau chief at CNN) and saw the need for a better way to find expert sources, leading him to launch Rolli six years ago.The subject should be of greatinterest to journalists, and PR pros who want to increase success with Tier 1 and 2 media, especially broadcast. We had a wide-ranging conversation, covering these points and others:The challenges of finding expert sources for breaking news.How is Rolli different (do we need another news source matching service)?Why email pitching your spokeseople has low odds for success.How AI amplifies email pitch spam, and fake info and profiles.Rolli cuts through the AI fog, connecting busy newsrooms with just the right source on demand.Thanks, Nick, for coming on the podcast and sharing your insight.Check it out at https://rolli.ai/You can find Nick on LInkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicktoso/

In this episode, I sit down with Christ-follower, author, pastor, and teacher, Sharon Hodde Miller, to talk about what it looks like to find real freedom. Not the kind the world talks about, but the kind that comes when we stop trying to control everything and let God be in charge. We talk about everything from how to respond to the next big news story, to how to tell the difference between the Holy Spirit's nudge and plain old overthinking. Sharon shares wisdom on what healthy responsibility looks like versus unhealthy control, and how surrendering to God's authority actually brings more peace (and not stress)! This conversation is honest, practical, and full of truth. If you've ever struggled with anxiety, control, or just feeling overwhelmed by the world around you, this is for you!

It's Andy's contention that when people see a better world is possible, they are more likely to build it. At the core of "Granite Goodness" is a belief that optimism is pragmatic, not naive.

In this episode, Vivian explores three headline-making stories: a Pennsylvania spa exposed as a front for “trafficking,” a former public defender's dramatic fall from grace, and the shifting policies and politics of sex work in New York City. Together, these cases reveal how law, power, and morality collide in the world's oldest profession.Vivian also shares her frustration with how government officials continue to use sex work as a political talking point—casting only female sex workers as “victims” while completely leaving male sex workers out of the conversation. Like the majority of sex workers, she reiterates that the only real way to regulate the industry and keep people safe—if safety is truly the concern—is through decriminalization.

We debate the merits of showing grieving families in light of a school shooting, and recall incidents in which the media, itself, was driving the media story. It's a circular feedback loop at times.

We're fresh off the heals of our Colorado Rocky Mountain high, and we are still recovering. Susie talks about a man who read 3,599 books in his lifetime and kept an adorable handwritten list of them that is now available to all of us. A zoo wants you to know that if you have any "unwanted" pets that they'll take them off your hands and feed them to their predators, which is weird? A doctor might've killed a patient through music, and we think it's sad, but also the game he was playing sounds really fun. We hear why lots of people are getting their teeth fixed in Mexico, and Susie rants about insane reasons why our teeth aren't included on our healthcare plans, the reason dental insurance is the opposite of health insurance, and she wants to know why we have silent cars, but not silent dental drills.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 25% off your first month of Ritual when you visit https://ritual.com/braincandy & add Essential Protein today!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A short update this week while I'm on the road. Trump will join European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, for an emergency virtual summit Wednesday ahead of his Friday meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The talks, organized by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, will focus on pressuring Russia, addressing seized Ukrainian territory, securing guarantees for Kyiv, and sequencing peace talks. Merz insists on a ceasefire before any negotiations or land swaps, and Europe is pushing for stronger sanctions on Russia's banking sector. Three sessions will bring together EU leaders, NATO chief Mark Rutte, Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukraine's military backers. I've been struck by how closely Europe and NATO are aligned with Trump here — but we've been down this road with Putin before. He's not a trustworthy guy. My bet is Zelensky ends up in the summit, and Trump pushes for a wrap-up.Meanwhile, the Teamsters Union, long a Democratic stronghold, is broadening its political giving under President Sean O'Brien, donating to Republicans as well. It's a big story — a sign that Democrats' hold on organized labor's money and loyalty is eroding, and it's going to be something we need to watch as we move forward.Finally, a judge denied the DOJ's request to unseal grand jury material in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, saying the public would learn little new. The DOJ's handling — including interviewing Maxwell, transferring her to a less restrictive prison, and not notifying victims — has sparked outrage. The public want more answers, but it's unclear what new revelations could satisfy that demand. Would naming names in exchange for a pardon be worth it? That's the moral trade-off now on the table.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:00 - Interview with Kevin Ryan, pt. 100:30:00 - Update00:34:24 - Interview with Kevin Ryan, pt. 200:57:46 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.
