BREAK: Ingles Markets 4 STORY 1: Auditions for A Christmas Tradition are Sept. 8-9 Got some holiday spirit and a knack for singing or dancing—or both? The Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre in Marietta is holding auditions for A Christmas Tradition on Sept. 8-9, from 6 to 9 p.m. This high-energy Christmas revue, directed by Shane DeLancey, runs Dec. 12-21 and features live music, classic holiday hits, and plenty of sparkle.

Ages 18+. Pre-register at https://tinyurl.com/hwpkw2wr. Questions? Email auditions@strandmarietta.org. STORY 2: Who’s running? Dozens qualify for Cobb’s local elections Cobb’s municipal elections are heating up as more candidates throw their hats in the ring. By Tuesday, seven new names joined the races, adding to the dozens who qualified Monday. In Marietta, the mayor’s seat and all seven City Council and school board positions are up for grabs. Incumbent Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin is seeking a fifth term, facing challenger Sam Foster. Meanwhile, council races are drawing a mix of familiar faces and fresh contenders, like Kenneth Wright, who’s challenging Ward 5’s Carlyle Kent. Over in Mableton, Cassandra Brown joined the District 4 race, while Austell and Kennesaw saw new challengers emerge for key council seats. STORY 3: Lockheed's C-130J wins "Coolest Thing Made in Georgia" competition Lockheed Martin’s Marietta-made C-130J Super Hercules just snagged the title of “Coolest Thing Made in Georgia” in the Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s first-ever competition. And honestly? It’s hard to argue with that. Rod McLean, Lockheed’s VP of Air Mobility and Maritime Missions, was thrilled. “This aircraft has been a game-changer for decades,” he said. “To see it recognized like this—it’s incredible.” The C-130J, built by a 5,000-strong team in Marietta, has logged over 3 million flight hours and serves 28 operators worldwide. It even beat out an air taxi in the finals. Not bad for a 70-year-old legend. 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: COBB INT. FESITVAL STORY 4: 21-year-old woman killed in Mars Hill Road collision A 21-year-old woman from Powder Springs, Kristen Royster, lost her life in a tragic crash Wednesday night on Mars Hill Road, according to Cobb County Police. It happened around 10:14 p.m. A red Chevy Silverado, driven by Temple Reed, 30, of Dallas, was heading west on Hadaway Road. At the same time, Royster’s black Nissan Sentra was traveling south on Mars Hill. They collided in the intersection. The Chevy hit the Nissan’s left side, sending it off the road. Royster didn’t survive. Reed, though injured, refused treatment. Police are still investigating. Got info? Call 770-499-3987. STORY 5: Cobb officials discuss ICE, mental health, crime prevention Immigration, public safety, mental health, and crime—big topics tackled at Tuesday night’s forum hosted by the Cobb County Democratic Committee at Switzer Library. Local law enforcement leaders, including Sheriff Craig Owens and Marietta Police Chief David Beam, fielded tough questions from both moderators and the audience. One hot-button issue? ICE raids. Owens made it clear: “We don’t know when or where they’re happening. They don’t tell us.” Beam echoed that sentiment, adding, “We’re not involved unless there’s an emergency.” Mental health also took center stage, with officials highlighting crisis intervention training and outreach programs aimed at prevention. “It’s about partnership,” Beam said. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting We’ll have closing comments after this.

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel. In this episode Jon recalls his mixed emotions about Ozzy Osbourne and the glam rock scene of the 1980s, his nostalgic relationships with certain cars, including a specific Ford Capri he regretted not purchasing, and his early jobs selling aerial photographs door-to-door. He delves into his appreciation for bands like Black Sabbath and discusses heavy metal's evolution. Shifting topics, he talks about the future of major car manufacturers, particularly expressing skepticism regarding Nissan's survival amid increasing competition from Chinese car makers and the rise of electric vehicles. He contrasts Nissan's approach with Toyota and Honda's strategic moves, lamenting a potential loss in Japanese automotive creativity. ==================== 00:00 Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne 01:44 Early Days with Sabbath 03:00 The Blue Ford Cortina Incident 04:39 The Red Ford Capri Temptation 06:57 Bugatti Museum Visit 08:00 Regret Over the Capri 08:38 Nissan's Uncertain Future 11:12 Nissan's Legacy in the Car World 15:05 Conclusion and Final Thoughts ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ Copyright Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian.

JULY 2025 NEW CAR REGISTRATIONSNew car registrations fall, year-on-year, in July 2025 by 5%. Whilst the electric car grant is now available, which models are eligible and at what rate remains to be seen. This has had a knock on effect with registrations of EVs raising slower than expected. BEVs and PHEVs increased but all other powertrains declined. To read more, click this article linked from the SMMT, here. JLR PROFIT PLUNGE IN FIRST HALF OF 2025Mainly thanks to the tariff farcical situation, JLR saw profits in the second quarter of 2025, plunge by half. Whilst the UK has negotiated a deal that has been implemented, the EU's one is not yet on stream, thus the Defender is still paying the price. Adding to their woes is the self inflicted issue of warranty costs, but outside of their control is volatile foreign exchange rates. if you wish to read more, click this Autocar article link here.

I've been seeing more and more hate in the overlanding YouTube space lately—people leaving nasty comments, complaining about video topics, or acting like creators are just out to sell stuff. So in this episode, I'm speaking honestly about it and how people are entitled to their opinions, but also that there are a lot of factors that most people don't understand or know about.If you don't like a video… skip it. If you don't vibe with a creator… don't watch. It's that simple. I'm sharing some behind-the-scenes insight into what influences the content we make, the balance between passion and sustainability, and how this whole thing really works from the creator's side.Honestly, the goal is to have a really honest and fun conversation, not to argue or belittle people. Let's build a community that supports, encourages, and helps others get outdoors, explore, and learn. If we want overlanding to keep growing in a healthy way, we've got to stop tearing each other down.Thanks for listening—and if you've ever left a kind comment or shared a video, just know it means more than you think.A huge thanks to my partners:Top Oak (amazing roof top tents and awnings for budget prices): https://topoakoverland.com/?sscid=51k9_mt1ba&Nitto (my Terra Grappler G3 tires are great for midwestern winters, wet weather, and all terrain use): https://bit.ly/41EJhbQZ1 Off Road (pretty much the spot for all things Nissan): https://www.z1offroad.comAll Dogs Offroad (amazing Nissan specific suspension options which I run on my truck): https://www.alldogsoffroad.comICECO Fridges (the best fridges for the money, hands down-Use code ALLTHINGSOVERLANDING for 12% off your order): https://icecofreezer.com/ALLTHINGSOVERLANDINGMoon Fab Awning (super flexible, non-permanently mounted awnings for all kinds of applications.

What do a disgraced pizza mogul, a Hollywood predator, a fugitive auto exec, and a guy who accidentally triggered a PR meltdown from a Coldplay Jumbotron have in common? Each one became the face of a very public corporate scandal. This episode unpacks the downfall of John Schnatter, whose meltdown tanked Papa John's; Harvey Weinstein, whose decades of abuse shook Hollywood to its core; Carlos Ghosn, the Nissan exec who escaped prosecution in a box; and Andy Byron, whose brief Jumbotron cameo set off a viral firestorm his company hasn't recovered from. Add in wage theft lawsuits, illegal marketing schemes, and some jaw-droppingly bad decision-making, and it's a crash course in how not to run a company. ~ Support the show by becoming a Midnight Minion, Menace, or Maniac, and unlock exclusive bonus content over at PATREON ~ Chat with fellow insomniacs and vote on episode topics via DISCORD ~ Join the Midnight Masses!

In the tight-knit town of Arlington, Indiana, 17-year-old Valerie Tindall went missing on a seemingly ordinary day. At first glance, everything appeared routine - she had told her mother she was going to work. But as detectives started to dig deeper, it became clear that something was lurking just beyond the obvious. From suspicious sightings of a black Nissan to cryptic messages sent after her disappearance, investigators were led down a path of false leads and half-truths.

Un titan du business mondial… aujourd'hui sur la liste rouge d'Interpol, après une fuite spectaculaire du Japon vers le Liban — caché dans une malle conçue pour transporter des instruments de musique.Voici l'histoire improbable de l'un des plus grands dirigeants du XXIe siècle.Carlos Ghosn est un génie industriel. En 1999, Renault le missionne pour redresser Nissan, alors au bord de la faillite.En trois ans, il efface la dette de l'entreprise (c'est-à-dire 20 milliards de dollars sur 40 milliards de chiffre d'affaires) et la rend de nouveau rentable. Malgré la méfiance initiale des Japonais, il devient une véritable star.Adulé à l'international, il prend la tête de l'alliance Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi et propulse le groupe au sommet de l'industrie automobile mondiale.Mais au sommet de la gloire, tout bascule. Arrêté au Japon sans avertissement, il est incarcéré pendant plus de 100 jours.Libéré sous caution mais interdit de quitter le pays, il comprend rapidement que s'enfuir est sa seule option, et organise dans le plus grand secret une exfiltration digne d'un thriller.Le monde découvre alors, stupéfait, son évasion rocambolesque.Aujourd'hui réfugié au Liban, Carlos Ghosn revient sur sa carrière fulgurante, sa vision du business, ses méthodes de management, ses convictions… et la polémique judiciaire qui entoure sa chute.Dans cet épisode :La seule stratégie pour devenir leaderComment redresser une entreprise croulant sous la detteLe rôle des États face aux multinationales (et l'implication de Macron dans l'affaire Nissan)Sa plus grosse erreurToute l'équipe est fière de vous proposer cet épisode inédit.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through this week's announcement of AppleCare One and automakers' opting out of CarPlay Ultra. AppleCare One is Apple's new subscription for customers to cover multiple devices with a single plan. It starts at $19.99 per month for up to three products, with the ability to add more for $5.99 per month for each additional device. The plan incudes all of the benefits that come with AppleCare+, such as unlimited repairs for accidents, priority support, battery coverage, and more. Subscribers can freely move their devices in and out of the plan at any time. AppleCare One also enables users to add products they already own that are up to four years old, providing they are in good condition, extending beyond the current 60-day window to purchase AppleCare+. When a customer trades in a covered product with Apple, it is automatically removed from their AppleCare One plan and replaced with the new device. AppleCare One also expands theft and loss protection to the iPad and Apple Watch. Previously, it was only available for the iPhone. AppleCare One's pricing is the same regardless of the products that are covered. Apple says that a customer who enrolls their iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch could save up to $11 per month versus enrolling in separate AppleCare+ plans for each device. Customers in the United States can now sign up for AppleCare One on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or by visiting an Apple Store. We also discuss the news that automakers including BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Polestar, Renault, and General Motors will not support CarPlay Ultra. It seems to be a major retreat from Apple's 2022 announcement, which originally named 14 automakers as future CarPlay Ultra partners. CarPlay Ultra goes far beyond traditional CarPlay by taking control of the entire dashboard experience. The system displays vehicle information like temperature, speed, and fuel levels alongside iPhone apps, creating what Apple calls "a unified and consistent experience across all the driver's screens." Currently, only Aston Martin offers CarPlay Ultra in production vehicles. Hyundai and its Kia and Genesis cars remain committed partners, while Porsche plans future support. Other originally announced brands like Ford and Nissan have provided no updates on their CarPlay Ultra plans.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereJay Butler doesn't just understand troubled operations. He's worked through them at every level. From the production lines of Nissan and Mercedes-Benz and now as a consultant for distressed plants, he has seen what causes operations to fall apart. And the biggest problems don't come from the floor. They come from leadership.Jay starts by sharing how poor leadership decisions create ripple effects that reach all the way to the floor. Holiday shifts that never end. Supervisors are stretched too thin. People burned out from six- and seven-day workweeks, year after year.Operational pressure doesn't just hit the floor; it follows people home. When that pressure builds up for long enough, performance drops, and culture breaks. Jay doesn't blame the people doing the work; he points the finger at the decisions being made at the top.But Jay doesn't frame this as a call for soft leadership. In fact, he's clear: being a good leader means setting expectations, being consistent, and holding people accountable. What doesn't work is enforcing rules that no one follows or only applying them when convenient.You can't expect consistent performance if you don't hold people accountable—or worse, if leadership doesn't model the behavior themselves.Jay recalls workers raising grandkids, struggling to keep up, and barely making it through the week. Leaders might not think that's their responsibility, but Jay argues otherwise. If your policies at work make someone's home life harder, you're responsible for that too.They also revisit accountability, but in a different light. Jan mentions a recent interview with Brad Ring at Webasto, who swapped the word "accountability" for "promise." It's a simple change, but it changes everything. "I promise to get this done" hits differently than "you'll be held accountable."They also talk about tariffs. Jay explains how one political post or policy change can throw an entire manufacturing plan off course. He's seen companies scrap full strategies mid-meeting because of a headline. That level of volatility demands preparation. You can't move production in a week, especially in automotive, but you can plan.This episode is a reminder that the weight of leadership isn't just about decisions. It's about owning your impact. As Jay puts it, you influence more than just metrics—you influence whether someone gets to go home proud or completely drained. That's where operational transformation begins. Not with new systems. Not with floor-level changes. But with better leadership.Themes discussed in this episode:How poor leadership creates burnout and operational breakdowns in manufacturingWhy holding employees accountable without clear standards creates chaos and mistrustWhy operational breakdowns often stem from leadership gaps, not workforce performanceHow Gen Z workers are reshaping expectations for culture in manufacturing plantsHow inconsistent enforcement of rules weakens trust and team accountabilityWhy companies must address culture and accountability before fixing production issuesWhat leaders must do to prepare for tariff changes and global trade uncertaintyFeatured guest: Jay ButlerWhat he does: Jay is the VP of Client Development at Seraph, where he leads management and leadership training, quality improvement, strategic planning, and product...
