In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) is joined by handicapper and horseplayer Nick Tammaro to take a look back at a loaded weekend of horse racing action from the Belmont Stakes Festival meeting at Saratoga! The pair go over some of the highlight stakes performances from the weekend and of course later discuss how the 3-year-old division is shaping since Kentucky Derby 2026 winner Golden Tempo proved his last-to-first rally was no fluke by winning Belmont Stakes 2026 over Commandment and Renegade, who was foiled as the favorite in both the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. Trainer Cherie DeVaux again made history by winning two of the three jewels of horse racing's Triple Crown and becoming the second woman to ever train a winner in the Belmont Stakes, the first being Jena Antonucci when Arcangelo won Belmont Stakes 2023. The pair of wins in the Triple Crown by Golden Tempo again raises the discussion on whether the string of the Triple Crown as we know it is a viable series under current training standards and preferences, sparking debate that comes down to whether the history and pageantry of the Triple Crown should be set aside to create a run of races that attracts the modern thoroughbred stars and sustains the national audience that the Triple Crown tends to draw every single year. PTF wrote more about the state of the American Triple Crown and what the sport can do about it over on At The Races: https://www.attheraces.com/belmont-stakes-racing-festival-at-saratoga/should-the-timing-of-the-us-triple-crown-be-changedDon't forget also about the biggest handicapping contest of the Monmouth Park year this Saturday, June 13 — the $2,000 Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge.

Sometimes, there are pain points in life. One of those for me as a busy, homeschool mama was lunch. We try to finish all of our school day prior to lunch (which I love), but that means that we race into lunch time. I needed a plan to help keep lunch easy and quick to get on the table. Insert the lunch matrix! Giving some thought to what we'll eat ahead of time helps me to serve my family healthy, whole foods with minimal lunch prep.   Resources Referenced: Great Hymns for Growing Hearts by Brettnay Brazzell https://nohighercalling.org/shop/devotional/ghgh/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

The Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928: The Night the Water CameEPISODE SUMMARYOn the night of September 16–17, 1928, one of the deadliest hurricanes in American history struck South Florida. The storm — already responsible for over 300 deaths in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean — made landfall near West Palm Beach as a powerful Category 4 hurricane with 145 mph winds. The coastal destruction was severe, but the true catastrophe lay fifty miles inland, where the storm's winds drove the waters of Lake Okeechobee over and through its inadequate earthen dikes. The floodwaters swept across a 75-mile stretch of flat agricultural land, killing at least 2,500 people — most of them poor Black migrant farm workers who had no warning and nowhere to go.WHAT YOU'LL HEARA narrative-driven account of the storm's path from the eastern Atlantic through Puerto Rico and into South Florida. The episode covers the failure of the Lake Okeechobee levee, the devastating flood of the Glades communities, the tragic racial dimensions of the disaster and its aftermath, and the long-delayed recognition of the victims. Closes with the hurricane's lasting legacy: the Herbert Hoover Dike, the federal takeover of South Florida water management, and Zora Neale Hurston's novel Their Eyes Were Watching God.KEY FACTS- Date of Florida landfall: September 16–17, 1928- Landfall location: Near West Palm Beach, Florida- Category at landfall: Category 4 (145 mph sustained winds)- Puerto Rico landfall: September 13, 1928 — Category 5 (the only Category 5 on record to hit Puerto Rico)- Deaths in Puerto Rico: 312- Deaths in the United States: At least 2,500 (NHC official estimate); some estimates exceed 3,000- Total storm deaths (Caribbean + US): Estimated over 4,000- Estimated damage (US): $25 million in 1928 dollars (~$16 billion today)- Lake Okeechobee depth: Average 9 feet (extraordinarily shallow for its size — 30 miles across)- Flood area: Approximately 6 miles deep x 75 miles long south of the lake- Victims: Approximately 75% were non-white migrant farm workers- Aftermath: Bodies disposed of in mass graves and burned on pyres; Black victims' grave went unmarked until 2003- Legacy: Herbert Hoover Dike constructed; Army Corps of Engineers took over South Florida water managementSOURCES- NOAA/NWS Miami: https://www.weather.gov/mfl/okeechobee- NOAA AOML 90th Anniversary: https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hurricane_blog/90th-anniversary-of-lake-okeechobee-hurricane/- Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1928_Okeechobee_hurricane- PBS American Experience: https://www.pbs.org/video/swamp-okeechobee-hurricane-1928-qjcyfd/- National Hurricane Center — Deadliest US Hurricanes (Blake et al., 2011)HASHTAGS#Okeechobee #Hurricane1928 #WeatherHistory #SanFelipe #FloridaHistory #NaturalDisaster #ExtremeWeather #WeatherWithEnthusiasm #KolSimchaProductions #LakeOkeechobee #HerbertHooverDikeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

What's changing with hurricane forecasting this year?

This week on the Disaster Podcast we take a look at the 2026 hurricane forecast put out by several universities, NOAA, and groups like Accuweather. One key variable in predicting the coming season is the presence or absence of El Niño or La Niña in the equatorial region of the central Pacific Ocean. Dan DePodwin, our disaster weather expert breaks down the coming forecast and talks about how global weather and climate patterns impact storm formation half a world away. Dr. Joe Holley joins the discussion as well and we look at the messaging around hurricanes as they approach landfall. The National Hurricane Center recently updated their forecast cone graphic to make it easier to understand. Dan and Joe share their thoughts about the adjustments and about disaster messaging in general. Joe also shares his thoughts about preparedness for the coming season at the local, state, and federal levels. What to know about the new cone graphic: Incorporates all land-based (coastal and inland) tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings in effect for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; Uses single shading for the entire 5-day outlook cone; Legend depicts symbols for areas where a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning are both in effect (represented by diagonal pink and blue lines); and Full and intermediate Tropical Cyclone Advisories are/will be publicly available on hurricanes.gov. NHC will also be introducing a new experimental version of the NHC's Tropical Cyclone Track Forecast Cone. Since its debut in 2002, the cone has shown where the tropical cyclone's forecast center is likely to go, based on past forecast calculations. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Hurricane Season Forecast Discussion The podcast host Jamie Davis welcomed back Dr. Joe and Dan Depodwin to discuss upcoming weather events, particularly the hurricane season. Dr. Joe shared his upcoming schedule, including a Paragon lab in Florida and the First Care Conference in Fort Lauderdale in early June, which runs alongside the Gathering of the Eagles event. Dan discussed unusual weather patterns in the Northeast, noting chilly conditions in May despite early warm spells, and shared AccuWeather’s forecast for the Atlantic hurricane season, predicting 11-16 named storms and 4-7 hurricanes, which is around or slightly below average. He emphasized that even in a below-average season, multiple hurricanes could still impact the United States, using Hurricane Andrew in 1992 as an example. El Nino’s Impact on Hurricanes Dan and Jamie discussed how El Nino and La Nina affect hurricane seasons in the Atlantic Basin. Dan explained that El Nino, characterized by warmer than average water temperatures in the Pacific, typically leads to increased wind shear in the Atlantic, resulting in fewer hurricanes. They noted that while El Nino years generally have fewer storms, they don’t eliminate the possibility of storms. Dan mentioned that current forecasts indicate a strong or potentially record-breaking El Nino developing later in the summer and continuing into the fall. El Niño and Hurricane Season Dan explained that El Niño is driven by weakening easterly winds along the equator in the Pacific Ocean, which reduces cooler water upwelling and leads to warmer ocean temperatures. He noted that hurricanes play a crucial role in transferring energy globally by moving heat from the equator to higher latitudes. Dan emphasized that while this year’s hurricane season may have fewer storms than normal, the warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico will continue to fuel storm intensification, making preparation essential during the season running from June 1st to November 30th. Hurricane Preparedness and Response Planning The group discussed hurricane preparedness and response capabilities ahead of the upcoming hurricane season. Joe explained FEMA’s reorganization, noting that while federal response capabilities are effective, there may be variability in state-level preparedness and recovery efforts. The discussion included an analysis of updated National Hurricane Center forecast cone graphics, which now better show inland risks and warning areas. Dan and Joe emphasized the importance of heeding evacuation orders and preparing well in advance of storms, with Joe highlighting the need for experiential training and partnership between federal and state teams. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

In a world that's growing darker and more corrupt, the call for believers is simple: stay steady and remain faithful. Just as Paul sent Titus to lead the church in Crete—a place marked by immorality and disorder—this episode highlights what it means to “adorn the doctrine” through everyday obedience. Faithfulness isn't always dramatic; it's often found in ordinary, consistent choices: caring for your home, loving others well, and holding firmly to God's truth. Rather than trying to fix everything around us, we're called to focus on what God has placed in front of us today. From order in the church, to the home, to the world, God is a God of order—and He faithfully directs the steps of those who follow Him.   Resources Referenced: Journey Homeschool Academy https://journeyhomeschoolacademy.com/ Enjoying the Journey Podcast with Evangelist Scott Pauley https://enjoyingthejourney.org/daily-bible-studies-etj-broadcast/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

New Look to Forecast Cone Today on the Disaster Podcast, co-host Sam Bradley and I discuss her recent move from Colorado to Missouri. She almost immediately ran into severe weather in the new house and talks about the things she did to improve her preparedness in the face of a change of location. Sam’s experience during the move had a profound impact on her and led her to locate the nearest shelter to their home for storm safety. We also looked at the upcoming hurricane season and discussed a quick overview of the 2026 hurricane forecast. We’ll have a more in-depth discussion with our meteorologists in a coming episode. One interesting topic that came up was the updated messaging from the National Hurricane Center and their cone of forecast track for hurricanes. They implemented new messaging upgrades to the graphic. What to know about the new cone graphic: Incorporates all land-based (coastal and inland) tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings in effect for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; Uses single shading for the entire 5-day outlook cone; Legend depicts symbols for areas where a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning are both in effect (represented by diagonal pink and blue lines); and Full and intermediate Tropical Cyclone Advisories are/will be publicly available on hurricanes.gov.

Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Hurricane Season Preparation Discussion Sam shared her recent experience moving from suburban Colorado to rural Missouri, including challenges with severe weather, particularly tornado warnings during her drive. The group discussed upcoming hurricane season predictions, noting that while the storm count is projected to be near to below average, the risk remains significant due to potential rapid intensification and elevated early season threats. Jamie emphasized the importance of being prepared for hurricane season by having emergency supplies ready and staying informed through local emergency management centers and weather forecasts. Hurricane Forecast Graphics Updates Jamie and Sam discussed updates to hurricane forecast cone graphics from the National Hurricane Center, which will now include tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings, as well as single shading for the entire 5-day cone outlook. Jamie explained that these changes aim to make the information more understandable and help people better assess their risk and evacuation needs. They also discussed the importance of staying informed through apps and alerts, emphasizing the need for immediate action during severe weather events. Weather Updates and Emergency Preparedness Jamie and Sam discussed the impact of constant weather updates and news notifications on public awareness and decision-making. They also talked about military drills, with Sam sharing his experience from a 2015-2016 Urban Shield exercise in Alameda County that involved emergency services training. Sam described how the realistic nature of the exercise surprised some hospital interns who initially viewed it negatively but gained valuable insights during the debriefing. Emergency Response Training Collaboration Sam and Jamie discussed emergency response training, particularly focusing on the evolution of collaboration between police, fire, and EMS teams in active shooter situations. They highlighted the development of training programs like Rescue Task Force and Active Violence Emergency Response Training (AVIRT), which aim to improve coordination and patient care in high-risk scenarios. Jamie mentioned the importance of unified communication systems and the challenges of maintaining effective communication in underground settings. The conversation concluded with plans to discuss recent severe weather trends and hurricane forecasts in a future episode with Dan. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

In this episode, Sarah and I talk about what diligence truly is, where Scripture calls us to practice it, and why it feels so difficult in a world of constant convenience and distraction. We unpack how modern life often replaces meaningful work with decision fatigue and delay, and why putting things off only makes life harder. The truth is, we all “choose our hard”—and diligence leads to a more fulfilling, faithful life. Ultimately, there is no hack. Diligence is built through a right relationship with the Lord and lived out in daily faithfulness.   Scriptures Referenced: Deuteronomy 4:29; 6:5–7 Psalm 90:12 Proverbs 4:23; 13:19; 23:1–2; 27:23; 31:27 Ecclesiastes 9:10 Jeremiah 29:13 Hebrews 11:6 1 Corinthians 4:2 Colossians 3:23–24   Resources Referenced: Watch the interview on YouTube https://youtu.be/5lsemk_Q84k  Follow Sarah on Substack https://faithfulandflourishing1.substack.com/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

Simeon and I were recently challenged as we heard Pastor Paul and Mrs. Terrie Chappell from Lancaster Baptist Church reflect on their 40 years of ministry. As they were sharing different ways God has opened doors for the Gospel, the conversation kept turning back to hospitality. We were reminded once again how important this aspect of life is for believers! We have seen hospitality have a huge Gospel impact during our time of ministry in Australia. I share some stories of how God used simple things like our kitchen table and a homecooked meal to see a life changed for Christ!   Resources Referenced: Heartfelt Hospitality by Terri Chappell https://amzn.to/3OZBb9H  NHC Podcast Hospitality Episodes https://nohighercalling.org/podcast_series/given-to-hospitality/ NHC Mother's Day Sale: Code MAMA for 20% off https://nohighercalling.org/shop/     Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

In this episode, I share how different seasons of life shape our capacity—and why it's important to give yourself grace in lower-capacity seasons while making the most of the ones where you feel energized. During my first trimester, I was in survival mode with limited energy—and that was okay. Now in a more energized season, I've been intentionally building a morning routine that supports my health, faith, and home life. Highlights: Honoring your season instead of pushing beyond capacity A simple, life-giving morning rhythm (movement, prayer, small tasks) The importance of evening prep for smoother mornings Building habits slowly and consistently Modeling good routines for our kids Start small, stay consistent, and remember—faithful habits add up over time.   Resources Referenced: NHC Blog: Getting a Great Start to My Day Find all the links referenced in this episode https://nohighercalling.org/getting-a-great-start-to-the-day-my-morning-routine/ NHC Podcast: Winding Down Well  The 5am Club by Robin Sharma https://amzn.to/4bEPOrO  NHC Mother's Day Sale: Code MAMA for 20% off https://nohighercalling.org/shop/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

In this episode, I share how we unexpectedly started studying Shakespeare with my elementary homeschool children — and why it's become one of a highlight of our school days! Despite having little interest in Shakespeare myself, I was inspired by A Charlotte Mason Companion and several podcasts to give it a try. What began as skepticism turned into delight as we discovered the beauty of introducing Shakespeare early. Key Conversation Points: Surprising benefits of Shakespeare for young children How we structure our weekly “Shakespearean Tea Time” lessons  Reading the play aloud with dramatic voices, memory work, discussion, and puppet coloring Our fun 6-week wrap-up: memory recitation and family puppet show Perfect for families wondering if Shakespeare is too advanced for little ones — it's not!
