Jared is back in NYC for Mailbag Monday, juggling post-road exhaustion and three brand-new listener dilemmas. He breaks down a military marriage caught in flirty-text limbo, tells one listener why stressing over a guy who hasn't texted in a week is a confidence issue (not a waiting game), and helps a longtime friend group protect their sacred monthly girls' dinner from an over-eager spouse. Plus the usual riffs, apologies he doesn't need to make, and a little YouTube and Patreon love!Jared is on tour!

In this episode, we break down what's really going on with New York City's housing crisis — from strict rent control and proposed rent freezes to a billion-dollar bailout for “distressed” landlords. We talk about how rising insurance, taxes, and maintenance costs crush owners when income is capped, and what happens when the city steps in with taxpayer-funded rescue plans. Is this sustainable, or are we just kicking the can down the road? Then we bring it back home and look at how big city projects — like Omaha's new railcar line — can quietly bleed local restaurants and small businesses while everyone cheers “progress.” We share a Golden Nugget on staying ahead of city planning so you don't buy into a “great deal” that gets wrecked by construction, street closures, and shifting tax burdens.If you own rentals, run a small business, or just want to understand how politics and policy actually hit your bottom line, this one's for you. Listen in, share this episode with another investor, and if it hits home, leave us a 5-star review so we can keep calling this stuff out in real time.You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/...

In celebration of the Pogues' 'Fairytale of New York' EP, we take a detailed look at how their classic Christmas single came together. The Pogues originally formed in London in 1982 by Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy and Jem Finer. MacGowan had gotten his start playing in the punk band, the Nipple Erectors, and when that band broke up, he began playing in an Irish traditional music style. Gradually, he brought in James Fearnley, Cait O'Riordan and John Hasler to become a sextet. Andrew Ranken replaced John Hasler as they signed with Stiff Records. Their debut album, Red Roses for Me, was released in 1984. For their second album, they added Philip Chevron on guitar and hired Elvis Costello as their producer. Rum Sodomy & the Lash was released in 1985, and they continued working with Costello for the Poguetry in Motion EP, released in 1986. At this point, Cait O'Riordan left the band and they updated the lineup to include Darryl Hunt and Terry Woods. They signed to Island Records and hired Steve Lillywhite to produce their third album. If I Should Fall from Grace with God was eventually released in 1988 and included the Christmas single, “Fairytale of New York.”  In this episode, Steve Lillywhite describes working with the Pogues at this pivotal time in their career when they were expanding the lineup and becoming more ambitious with their song structures and arrangements. Despite not having experience recording a traditional folk band, Lillywhite proved to be the right producer for the Pogues at this moment. His input and confidence in the studio led to them splicing two sections of “Fairytale of New York” together and also enlisting his wife Kirsty MacColl to sing the female part in the song. Jem Finer talks about his initial writing process for the song and how he wrote two potential Christmas ideas that his wife Marcia dismissed as being far too sentimental. Her input led to him rethinking the song and writing about a down on their luck couple, inspired by people who lived in their neighborhood in London. Finer describes how Shane MacGowan then took the song and moved the setting to New York City and added some key lines that were taken from real conversations. James Fearnley describes the thrill of recording the opening section with just piano and voice and how he practiced repeatedly to be able to get that part right. He talks about how the song deserved an ambitious string arrangement and so he worked out some ideas on a synthesizer before bringing in Fiachra Trench to help with the orchestration. By taking inspiration from film scores like Ennio Morricone's Once Upon a Time in America and Leonard Bernstein's On the Waterfront, Fearnley talks about wanting to bring a cinematic sound to match the classic American story that was being told. From the song's long gestation period of a few years, to Steve Lillywhite bringing the tapes home and casually asking Kirsty MacColl to sing on it, to the inspiration behind the classic “I could've been someone”  line, to the initial disappointment of getting to number 2 in the charts, to the perfect sparring duet partners in Shane and Kirsty, to the anti-Christmas Christmas song that has become timeless, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

"If Jeffrey was the enigma, she was the translator."On the morning of 5 November 1991, a body was found floating in the Atlantic near the Canary Islands. It was Robert Maxwell, one of Britain's most famous and controversial businessman. Hours earlier he had vanished from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, anchored off the Spanish coast. His death immediately became front-page news in the UK and across Europe, especially when it came to light that Maxwell's businesses had engaged in massive frauds.For Maxwell's youngest daughter, Ghislaine, the loss was more than financial. With her father dead and his business empire collapsing around her, she tried to escape the scandal and rebuild somewhere where she would not be defined by her family's collapse. So in early 1992, she moved to New York City...Part 2/7Research & writing by Amelia White and Ira RaiHosting, production, and additional research & writing by Micheal WhelanLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

What happens when the life you've worked for—your city, your career, even your identity—dies overnight? In this tender, hope-filled conversation, Ginny sits down with Bible teacher and missionary kid Mikella Van Dyke, whose childhood stretched from refugee camps on the Thai–Myanmar border to hiking the Himalayas and dancing for the princess of Thailand. As a “third culture kid” who never quite fit in either Thailand or the U.S., Mikella shares how a lonely ninth-grade year, culture shock, and years of bouncing between countries left her with a deep identity crisis that eventually drove her into the pages of Scripture. Later, an unplanned pregnancy ended her dream of dancing professionally in New York City—and yet that loss became the doorway to Chasing Sacred, the ministry and new calling she never could have imagined. Learn more about Mikella's story and her new book Chasing Sacred. Together, Ginny and Mikella explore a simple, powerful way to read the Bible through the inductive Bible study method—asking good questions, honoring context, and letting God's Word move from head knowledge to heart change in the middle of real life with kids, frogs, dirt bikes, and dishes. They talk about daily “manna” moments in Scripture, how to spot teaching that's pulled out of context online, why courage sometimes means defying cultural norms, and how family missions trips to Little Lambs International in Guatemala have given their children a bigger vision for God's world. If you've ever felt like your dreams died with motherhood—or you're longing for an anchor in the chaos—this episode will invite you to see your own story, and your hours outside, as sacred ground.

Today Razib talks to Sean Trende. He is a prominent American political analyst who currently serves as the Senior Elections Analyst for RealClearPolitics, a position he has held since 2010. He is also a Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and a lecturer at The Ohio State University, where he earned his Ph.D. in political science in 2023. Before transitioning to full-time political analysis, Trende practiced law for eight years at firms including Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Hunton & Williams LLP, holding a J.D. and M.A. from Duke University and a B.A. from Yale University. Known for his expertise in election forecasting, redistricting, and political demographics, he authored the book The Lost Majority (2012), co-authored The Almanac of American Politics 2014, and served as a court-appointed special master to redraw Virginia's legislative districts in 2021. Trende and Razib first talk about the elections in the fall of 2025 in Virginia and New Jersey, and what they tell us about the elections next year. They also discuss the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York City, and the rise of populism on the Left and Right. Razib asks Trende about why political commentary often assumes single-party rule is about to happen, only to be refuted by the reality of the opposition's resurgence once these claims are made. They also talk about Trende's distinctive personal background, and his perspective as a more centrist-libertarian commentator and professor in the political analyst field.

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on guitarist Nels Cline.Most people know Nels Cline as Wilco's guitarist for the past two decades. But his range goes far beyond indie rock. He's spent forty-plus years moving between jazz clubs, punk venues, and studios where the rules get bent or thrown out entirely. Rolling Stone put him on their list of the top 100 guitarists of all time, but that tells you nothing about how he actually plays.His current project, Trio of Bloom, pairs him with keyboardist Craig Taborn and drummer Marcus Gilmore on Pyroclastic Records. The three had never played together before producer David Breskin brought them into the studio in November 2024. What came out sounds like a band that's been working together for years, full of ambient drift and barbed funk that explores the outer edges of dub.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Trio of Bloom's self-titled album)–Dig DeeperArtist and AlbumVisit Nels Cline at nelscline.com and follow him on Instagram and FacebookVisit Craig Taborn at craigtaborn.com and follow him on InstagramVisit Marcus Gilmore at drummerslams.com and follow him on InstagramPurchase Trio of Bloom from Bandcamp or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceTrio of Bloom on Pyroclastic RecordsCollaborators and ProducerDavid Breskin - producer, poet, and creative catalystKris Davis - founder of Pyroclastic RecordsPyroclastic Records - independent label supporting creative musicKey Groups and Projects MentionedWilco - Nels Cline has been guitarist since 2004The Nels Cline Singers - long-running experimental projectNels Cline 4 - featuring Julian Lage, Scott Colley, and Tom RaineyConsentrik Quartet - with Ingrid Laubrock, Chris Lightcap, and Tom Rainey on Blue Note RecordsCover Songs ReferencedTerje Rypdal - What Comes After (ECM, 1974) - source of "Bend It"Wayne Shorter & Milton Nascimento - Native Dancer (Columbia, 1975) - source of "Diana"Ronald Shannon Jackson & Decoding Society - Eye On You (About Time, 1980) - source of "Nightwhistlers"Original Compositions ReferencedInitiate by Nels Cline Singers (Cryptogramophone, 2010) - source of "Forge" and "King Queen" (which became "Queen King")Marcus Gilmore - "Breath"Craig Taborn - "Unreal Light" and "Why Canada"Nels Cline - "Eye Shadow Eye," "Gone Bust"Free improvisation - "Bloomers"Visual ArtSharon Core - painter whose flower series adorns the albumIrving Penn - photographer whose 1980 'Flowers' series inspired Core's paintingsYancey Richardson Gallery - representing Sharon CoreHistorical ReferencesPower Tools - Bill Frisell, Melvin Gibbs, Ronald Shannon Jackson trio produced by David Breskin (1987)John Zorn's Cobra - game piece and performance systemThe Knitting Factory (original NYC venue) - seminal downtown jazz and experimental music venueNYC Venues MentionedThe Stone - John Zorn's performance spaceRoulette - experimental music venue in BrooklynVillage Vanguard - legendary jazz clubLittlefield - Brooklyn venue (now closed)The Bellhouse - Brooklyn music venueiBeam Music Brooklyn - performance spaceGet MoreDig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

This week we sit down with longtime CFGV member Saundra Watson, who's been part of our community since 2013. Over the years, Saundra has trained in our CrossFit classes and spent time in personal training, using targeted strength work to support her passion for running and marathon racing.After a serious fall at home that resulted in an unhappy triad knee injury (ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus) — including 6 weeks of non-weight bearing — Saundra didn't just return to training… she came back strong. Since then, she's completed multiple marathons and is actively pursuing the Abbott World Marathon Majors, with Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City all on the list.This episode is a powerful reminder of what long-term coaching, smart strength training, and resilience can do — at any stage of life.

John Casmon interviews Yonah Weiss, a cost segregation expert known as the “Cost Seg King,” about how cost segregation works as an advanced form of depreciation and why it can be a powerful cash-flow tool for real estate investors. They break down who benefits most, plus other scenarios like the short-term rental “loophole” and income-based exceptions that can allow depreciation to offset active income. Yonah also explains depreciation recapture in plain English and shares common strategies investors use to defer or reduce tax impact at sale, including 1031 exchanges and Opportunity Zones. Finally, they shift into marketing—why Yonah built his brand on LinkedIn through consistency and real engagement, and why in-person networking is still hard to beat.

Send us a textGUEST: PASTOR DARRELL HARRISON, Co-Host, Just Thinking PodcastFive times each day the Muslim call to prayer sounds from mosques in Minneapolis. One might expect this in an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia or Iran, but in the United States, a nation that was founded and operated on distinctly Christian principles? The founders likely made the assumption that our nation would be and remain Christian, as early immigrants came from Christian European nations. They probably thought future Americans wouldn't be so foolish as to welcome hundreds of thousands of Muslims.But those with an unbiblical worldview of secular and religious humanism have taken power and hold to the spirit of Babel—that uniting all religions and peoples together will make us good and united. That will not work with Islam and its mission to dominate the world. Europe has puts its very existence at risk in bringing millions of Muslims into its nations and towns and now America is doing the same in Minneapolis, Dearborn, MI, New York City, and elsewhere.Darrell Harrison, shepherding and teaching pastor at Redeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ) and the co-host of the popular Just Thinking Podcast, joins us to explain how Islam is less a religion but rather a political ideology of domination and how Christians should respond.----------------------Program Notes:Just Thinking PodcastRedeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ)Manger in Danger - ON SALE - $30!  Order by Dec 16 for Christmas DeliveryYear-End Support of The Christian Worldview

Artist and legendary street artist Robbie Conal talks about: His family history, including his two activist-and-politically inclined parents, his background in fighting the power; moving up to Los Osos (in San Luis Obispo County) as a permanent residence (back after the 2008 crash), but keeping a small place in L.A.; what he misses about not being in the city (he's lived in NYC and SF as well as L.A.); his first big moment with public art, through postering, which was born out of caricature paintings he was making of Ronald Reagan's cabinet, which he dubbed 'Men with No Lips,' and alighted through a large postering campaign just as Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, was opening to the public in 1986; how he's Shepard Fairey's OG, and how he was an influence on him as a future street artist (though Fairey said, "I can do that" quite confidently); his personal mantra:  "apply what you do best to what you care about most," which in his case his drawing and talking smack (does best) and American democracy (cares about most); how, to make his work quicker to keep his work temporal, he switched from oil painting to charcoal and then to acrylic with oil accents; how all his friends who have his art (mostly of terrible characters) have them in their toilets; and his most popular work, "Watching, Waiting and Dreaming," a triptych of Gandhi, the Dahli Lama and Martin Luther King. This podcast relies on listener support; please consider becoming a Patreon supporter of the podcast, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd half of the conversation, available to Patreon supporters, we talk about: How he's sustained himself financially over the decades outside of sales of his work, from teaching to receiving donations to his postering campaigns to lots of (young) volunteers; what he thinks about street art, and mural art, today, and the distinction between graffiti, street art and poster art, and how his reputation saved him from competing street artists when he was postering; our different respective takes on street art, and how Leon Trotsky taught him that everything is political, and street art is inherently political; what he's learned from terrible jobs: mainly, you can't make good art, let alone great art, in your spare time, while holding down a full-time job (and doing the work on the side); the most commonly asked questions he's received about postering (how many times have you been arrested?); how part of your mission as a poster is muscling up for the consequences; and what the best thing is to say to the judge when you're asked why you did it. And for the final 15 minutes of our talk, he covers the breadth of logistics related to putting up posters in public/on the street, which he refers to as 'acts of civil disobedience.'

Abby and Patrick are joined by writer Grace Byron, author of the fantastic new novel Herculine. Alternately hilarious and terrifying, Herculine is the story of a young trans woman who leaves a frustrating life in New York City to join an erstwhile high school lover in a trans separatist commune in rural Indiana. But the community proves far from perfect, and the narrator soon finds herself enmeshed in a pressure-cooker milieu of personal jealousies and erotic rivalries, all with occult overtones – and there are literal demons, too. Abby, Patrick, and Grace reflect on the themes of the book, and probe the broader questions it addresses. How might trauma shape our ideas about healing and our pursuit of transformative experiences – in psychotherapy and beyond? How does identity relate to desire, how does theory relate to practice, and how might hegemonic structures reassert themselves in power dynamics within marginalized communities? What are the uses of utopian fantasies, and how do we square them with the real-world challenges of building solidarity? The three explore all these questions, as well as the power of religious symbolism, the practice of “conversion therapy,” media representations of the demonic, and more!  Texts cited:Grace Byron, Herculine: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Herculine/Grace-Byron/9781668087862 Grace Byron, “Idle Worship: Fairy Tales of Conversion,” in Parapraxis: https://www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/idle-worshipGrace Byron, “Repossessed,” in The Baffler: https://thebaffler.com/latest/repossessed-byronMcKenzie Wark, “Dear Cis Analysts: A Call for Reparations,” in Parapraxis: https://www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/dear-cis-analystsAvgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini, Gender Without Identity: https://www.uitbooks.com/shop/gender-without-identityImogen Binnie, Nevada: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374606619/nevada/Have you noticed that Freud is back?

What does it look like to build a creative life without a ladder, a map, or a five-year plan? In this crossover episode, I sit down with Kingston-based cinematographer, podcaster, and all-around creative human Drew English, host of the podcast No Set Path. We interviewed each other for our respective shows, and this is the Cidiot cut—rooted in the Hudson Valley, flavored with dirt, neighbors, and the reality of figuring it out as you go.Drew shares his journey from years in the NYC film world to building a life (and a studio) in Uptown Kingston—one that balances creativity, parenthood, community, and work that doesn't always follow a straight line. We talk about why Kingston has become such a magnet for creative people, the myth of the “COVID panic buyer,” how podcasting grew out of basement space and curiosity, and why no set path is actually the point—whether you're navigating a career, a town, or a brand-new way of living. If you've ever wondered whether you can leave the city without leaving yourself behind, this one's for you.Podcasts, radio stations, and other good things mentioned:Upstate Podcast Studio (Kingston, NY) No Set Path podcast The Valley Girls Podcast Kaatscast podcastHudson Valley Unleashed podcastRhinebeck Scoop podcast Radio Free Rhinecliff Cinema Kingston ⁠WKZE⁠ radio station, Red Hook, NYArrowood Farms, Accord, NY Special: There's a video version of the episode available on Cidiot's YouTube channel.

Join us this week as we sit down with Rebecca Blacker, a successful New York City real estate broker who runs a top-producing, all-women's team focusing on luxury real estate. Rebecca shares the compelling story of her career, which began in her family's real estate business. Her grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, originally founded the company, making real estate a lifelong presence for Rebecca. However, after the birth of her second child, she felt an overwhelming desire for independence—a need to build something her own rather than managing her father's and grandfather's legacy. This bold move was driven by her ambition to be an entrepreneur and a role model for her kids. Although her transition was initially difficult for her family, they are now incredibly supportive of the successful business she has created. Rebecca details the modern, authentic approach she took to launch her solo career, which began with no listings or content. She purposefully created video content on social media, investing in a studio to overcome the initial fear of being on camera. She used this platform to share her life as a mom and a business starter, building a trustworthy brand that allows clients to feel like they know her before they even meet. This strategy successfully led to clients and the eventual expansion into her current five-member, all-women's team. Rebecca now finds immense joy in the mentorship aspect of leadership, loving the collaboration and support the team provides, and celebrating her members' successes even more than her own. She defines an empowered woman as someone who is fearless, sets goals, and pursues them without worrying about the opinions of others.
