North Carolina's season came to a crashing end as the familiar script of the past five years played out in Greenville, SC in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Carolina led by 19 points in the second half only to collapse down the stretch and lose to VCU in overtime, 82-78. In the process, the Heels blown lead was the largest in UNC tournament history, the sixth largest all time in tournament history and the second largest second half lead blown in tournament history.  Inside Carolina's Sherrell McMillan and senior reporter Greg Barnes join Tommy Ashley for The Postgame and try to make sense of how Carolina's season can end after playing some of it's best basketball for 26 minutes and some of it's worst over the last 15. McMillan and Barnes highlight the mistakes that have permeated this team all season - and the program over the last several seasons - and how the VCU Rams were able to capitalize and make the Tar Heels pay.  The IC trio discusses the future of Hubert Davis and the standards of Carolina Basketball. What are those standards?  Have they changed? And what will the administration do about the situation the program finds itself in after year five of the Davis era?   **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

North Carolina's basketball program faced the worst case scenario on Thursday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels continued their trend of poor sloppy play down the stretch of a game and this time, it was the VCU Rams there to take advantage of the miscues and end UNC's season in Greenville.  Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the day after aftermath of Carolina's collapse and what's next for Carolina Basketball. With the transfer portal opening on April 7th, any actions taken by incoming Athletic Director Steve Newmark, current AD Bubba Cunningham and Chancellor Lee Roberts need to happen quickly - regardless of which route they choose to take in the coming days. Barnes and Ashley highlight both sides of the decision as well as financial and fundraising implications around NIL and the Smith Center debate. How does the football situation play into the decision process as well as the coming tide for conference realignment for UNC? Clearly the decisions are complicated as Barnes describes but the implications and final results are massive for the program and school. **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo/D-NM), left, Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk/D-KS), and Markwayne Mullin (Cherokee/R-OK), testify before a subcommittee on March 4, 2020 as members of the Native American Caucus. (Courtesy Rep. Markwayne Mullin) The nomination of U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (Cherokee/R-OK) to be the next Homeland Security secretary cleared a key committee vote after overcoming a cringeworthy confirmation hearing over his combative past comments. Correspondent Matt Laslo reports on the bipartisan relationships the enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation has built over his decade in Washington. Contrary to the tough guy you may have seen on your screen picking fights with union bosses or Senate committee chairs, Sen. Mullin has lots of fans in Congress. U.S. Sen.Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) serves with Mullin on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. “I may have some policy disagreements with Sen. Mullin. Mark's Mark. That's who he is, you know? So yeah, I don’t know that there’s anything out of sorts there. It’s just, that’s just who he is.” Luján says Mullin has been a key ally on the other side of the aisle in today's divided Washington. “Not just, you know, Democrat, Republican. He’s been a member that tribal leaders have sought out to support different efforts.” Mullin stepped into a 137-year long fight last year and played a pivotal role in helping North Carolina's Lumbee Tribe gain full federal recognition over protests from other tribes. U.S. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) told National Native News that Mullin was pivotal. “He thought that the opposition by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina was incorrect. And so as an enrolled Cherokee, he supported the Lumbees and it’s always appreciated.” U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk/D-KS) overlapped with Mullin in the U.S. House for her first two terms. Besides the two both being former MMA fighters, Rep. Davids says she and Mullin put partisan differences aside and worked together for Indian Country. “When he was in the House, we worked on quite a few tribal related things, including trying to stabilize Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). And then, also on foster programs and that kind of stuff. So we’ve been able to work together on issues that we both care about.” Masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents may garner the national headlines, but Davids says she is watching to see how Mullin handles the other parts of the sweeping Homeland Security agency that outgoing Secretary Kristi Noem neglected. “I’m hopeful that he will be much better in terms of leading the department. Of course there’s hot button issues, but when you think about FEMA and the importance of FEMA functioning, of our TSA folks …” The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is offering a career pathway for tribal students looking at wildland firefighting jobs. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. Highschoolers across six BIE-run schools are participating, including Northwest High School in Shiprock on the Navajo Nation. “This just happened to occur organically.” Carmelia Becenti (Diné) is BIE chief academic officer. She credits President Trump's executive order on “expanding educational freedom”. They are also pitching the curriculum to colleges. “We are trying to somewhat steer them towards being stewards of our lands. That doesn't always happen.” Garth Fisher is with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Division of Wildland Fire Management. He says they are teaching coursework about leadership, fire suppression, and FEMA readiness. Once done, students put their training to the test during a field day. “They get to put the gear on, how it feels. They get to look like a firefighter.” That equipment is expensive, says Becenti, which is why the BIE is buying it now. “And that way, year after year, as we recruit more students at these schools and across the bureau, you know, we have this PPE that we can use over and over and over.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Fresh off a California sweep, North Carolina's sluggish start on Wednesday did not keep the Tar Heels from pushing their win streak to six, winning 8-2 over UNC Greensboro. Head coach Scott Forbes joined Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley for their weekly conversation highlighting the Diamond Heel outfield defense and pitching as keys to his team's success of late.  Ashley and Forbes dig into the pitching plan for a season from the weekend starters to key numbers in the bullpen and how Forbes and his staff mesh plans against the reality of the situations that arise during a season. With Caden Glauber stepping to the front of the pen with his performances this season, Forbes discusses his players' willingness to take on any role necessary for the team. Finally, Forbes discusses Louisville and what the Cardinals will bring to Boshamer Stadium in a three game series beginning on Friday, March 20th. **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to break down North Carolina's first round NCAA Tournament game against Virginia Commonwealth. The Heels come into Thursday's game on a two game losing streak and as Barnes points out, losing three to end a season has not happened in Chapel Hill in over 50 years.  With that, Barnes and Ashley discuss the pressure on Hubert Davis and his coaching stand and how a wins in March can alleviate that pressure or conversely, how losing can ramp up the conversations about the future direction of the UNC program.  Barnes highlights the keys to success for the Heels with Henri Veesaar and guard play key on the offensive end while interior defense and three point defense will be vital to keep a smaller but athletic Rams team in check. **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Roy Williams is without a doubt one of the best college basketball coaches of all time. As the men's head basketball coach at two storied programs – Kansas and UNC – he won three national championships and made nine Final Four appearances. And through every moment, Roy had one standard: don't step off the court until you've gotten better. That applied to his players, his staff, and himself. Most leaders know they should focus on daily improvement. The hard part is actually making it into something real instead of just empty words. In this episode, Roy will show you how to build that discipline into your team without it feeling like a grind, and how to push your team toward big goals without burning them out. Plus you'll hear some incredible off-the-court stories, including one about Michael Jordan that just might explain his legendary work ethic.

To celebrate, Saturday's new recipe includes my favorite spring vegetable, asparagus, but in the meantime, we wanted to share our team's personal favorite super-springy recipes from the archives to welcome the new season. And lest you forget: there's a whole “spring” section in the What to Cook recipe index — along with many, many more categories based on cook time, protein, and mood. If you're ever needing inspiration for dinner, let the index be your guide. Also worth noting if you're a Substack app user: we are VERY happy to report that the WTC index is pinned again under “posts” when you're on the WTC homepage within the app. The pinned posts went missing for a few weeks but they're back, baby!Caro's: sheet-pan spring salmonThis is perhaps the springiest weeknight dinner recipe I've ever written. Dilly sauce, asparagus, roasted potatoes, and salmon with lots of lemon… it's so fresh and delicious. It's also both gluten- and dairy-free as written and is delicious served either right out of the oven or at room temp, so you could cook the entire meal ahead of time, let it cool, and store it covered in the fridge. Bring it out 30-ish minutes before dinner to let it come to room temperature, then dig in! It's a total crowd pleaser. There's an even simpler version of this meal — it omits the potatoes — in WTC the book on page 40! Jillian's: crispy artichoke and chicken saladArtichokes are one of my favorite spring vegetables! This is a good-all-week salad that combines roasted marinated artichokes with chicken that you marinate in the artichoke brine, a can of white beans, kale, homemade croutons, and the most addicting, springy lemon-Parm dressing out there. I typically eat vegetarian and highly endorse the mushroom vegetarian riff that Caro suggests! Molly's: roasted asparagus farrottoI cooked this meal one day last week after the time change and it was a perfect springy experience. I sipped a glass of white wine (the same wine I used later for the recipe!) while the asparagus and farro roasted away in the oven and the evening sunlight (!!) poured through the windows. It's VERY tasty, and Caro's asparagus-roasting hack in this recipe — you cook it on an inverted pot lid! — always makes me feel like a pro. Do you have a favorite springy WTC recipe?!Whether you're traveling this season or not, these “vacation house” meal plans will get you in the springy and/or spring break spirit! Version one + version two. I'm taking my older boys on a very adventure-heavy spring break trip with Lonely Planet Journeys (formerly known as Elsewhere, the travel company that sent me on the Camino and to Patagonia!) next month. It'll be my first real trip with kids that isn't a plop vacation by the pool/beach — we are going to be making our own chocolate from native cacao! Snorkeling in cenotes! Exploring ancient ruins! We are all so excited and grateful for the opportunity.That said, my typical spring break plan is to go somewhere that I can plop in front of a body of water (pool, beach, lake, etc.) with the kids, and have easy access to a house or hotel room with all the creature comforts we may need. Other years, we hang at home and go to the pool after work and/or on local outings that we can't usually do when the kids are in school. Whatever your plans may be, here's a random collection of spring break tips and things we are loving.* I've said this before but one of my favorite vacation tricks is shipping a Thrive order to the rental house with pantry staples, kids snacks and meals (like Goodles!), and any other miscellaneous things we'll need during the trip like sunscreen, dish soap, diapers, etc. I love that when I'm filling my Thrive box I don't have to study the ingredients lists — they have a strict vetting process to ensure that everything they carry is organic and free from more than 1,000 artificial, synthetic, and GMO ingredients. It also saves me money!!! The membership's only $5 a month, they run sales all the time within their membership, and the items are already priced up to 30% off retail. Click here to get 30% off your first order and a free $60 gift of your choice when you sign up. And as a reminder, new-to-Thrive WTC Insiders get $25 off their first four orders (plus lots of other perks)! * I got this suit in black for Mexico and it's a really nice middle ground between mom suit and sexy suit. It's definitely VERY SNUG in my normal size, so size up if you're on the fence about going up or down!* At the pool this week three of my friends had this sun hat and it looked so good on everyone! I'm a ball cap person but I know I need to become a sun hat person for more coverage, ugh. * I continue to be obsessed with this glowy face sunscreen. It's honestly helping me remember to wear SPF every day because I love the way it brightens up my face when I'm not wearing makeup!* Loeffler Randall gifted me a really great travel tote bag and it got a lot of use in February. I love that it slides onto the handle of my roller bag and actually stays in place, it fits under the airplane seat nicely, and has tons of storage compartments. And it's nylon, so it transitions from airplane to poolside splashes nicely.* Speaking of roller bags, I just got a new one and I'm VERY into it. I really prefer a hard shell when I'm trying to cram WAY too much stuff into a carry-on (like for my 10-day business trip in February!), and this one has tons of great storage compartments and glides really nicely.* I just ordered these Bermuda shorts! In black. I'm very excited about them!! * From Molly: I went shopping at Vuori this past weekend in NYC and found another pair of my all-time favorite shorts, the Villa, in this new color. I wear them everywhere — exercise classes, my kids' sports practices and games, and as a coverup at the beach and pool. They have a wonderfully roomy thigh, dry quickly, and are just the comfiest. I also got this tee — I'm a shorty and the crop hits perfectly with high-waisted bottoms like the Villas. (From Caro: I've been thinking about ordering these!! We love a roomy thigh. I've been getting a lot of wear out of my fave $20 shorts but they're more athletic looking than the Villa.)* Speaking of coverups…* From Caro: I've been wearing this button-up dress to the pool (and around town) all week (and I wore it all last summer while pregnant and postpartum!).* From Molly: I shared this Quince coverup last year but can update that it held up well all summer (and we live at the beach so I wore it a ton!). It stretches out/gets weighed down a bit when it's wet, but shrinks back up once washed and dried. I love this one, too, that's similar but collared. I'm also excited for an order from this sister-owned small business to arrive soon — I'm trying to invest in more UPF-50 coverups!* From Molly: One last staple I'll be packing for beach outings this spring: my Reefs! The back strap makes them easy to walk through soft sand in (I hate it when flip flops fling sand up my legs!), and you can hose them down afterward.Every week, we dig into the What to Cook archives to see what we were cooking this time in years past — the recipes worth bringing back into your rotation. Here's this week's lineup.1. farro fattoush, 2025Here's another springy good-all-week salad that will hold up well in the fridge for days! This one packs farro, chickpeas, tons of herbs, crunchy veg, a punchy lemony dressing, and poached chicken for protein. It's fresh, herby, and satisfying in a way that makes a lunch (or dinner!) salad feel like a real meal, not a side dish.2. the ultimate easy-but-fancy spring menu, 2024Your blueprint for a special occasion spring meal that comes together with zero stress: slow-roasted lamb, lemony potatoes, a bright salad, asparagus, and Gruyère & black pepper biscuits with hot honey butter! It comes with a full plan of attack to keep things seamless, but you can also mix and match pieces for a simpler, just-as-delicious meal.3. rotisserie-ish chicken with schmaltzy frizzled cabbage, 2023A sheet-pan dinner where the chicken does double duty — roasting on top of cabbage so all that schmaltzy goodness drips down and transforms it. Add buttery sweet potatoes and you've got a cozy, low-effort, high-reward situation. From WTCer Jill: “Wow. My husband kept saying, ‘this is restaurant quality'… The cabbage is SO GOOD… And the chicken was so moist and flavorful. First time cooking a whole chicken and this recipe made it so easy.”4. roasted harissa chicken and sweet potato bowls, 2022Jammy, caramelized sweet potatoes and harissa-roasted chicken layered over a cool, creamy swoop of yogurt or labne — then finished with crunchy nuts, pops of sweet dried fruit, and a squeeze of lemon. This meal hits every note (spicy, creamy, tangy, crunchy) and is endlessly adaptable depending on what you have.5. one-skillet crispy chicken burrito bowls, 2021So many of you have this recipe on repeat — it's easy, reliable, and a total crowd-pleaser. Rice cooks in salsa until it's rich and flavorful, chicken gets golden and crispy on top, and everything finishes with melty, bubbly cheese under the broiler.We use affiliate links when sharing product recs, which means we may earn a small commission off of purchases you make through those links.

With the North Carolina primary over and done, get ready for the campaign leading to November. Get ready for a blizzard of advertising, particularly in the race for U.S. Senate. It is likely to be the most expensive Senate race in the country, with about half a billion dollars expected to be spent. In a world where people are entrenched in their ideologies, how do you convincingly use that money?

Graig Meyer (D-Orange) is leaving the General Assembly to head up the state's leading progressive think tank, the North Carolina Justice Center.  Meyer joins Tim to talk about leaving office, the current status of progressives and Democrats in North Carolina, and the shocking news of the state's most powerful politician, Phil Berger, on the verge of losing his seat in the legislature.

Laura Hope Whitaker took over Extra Special People (ESP) as a college sophomore. The organization had a $125,000 budget, a $50,000 deficit, and a founder who had just passed away from pancreatic cancer. Twenty-one years later, ESP runs a $8 million budget across five communities in Georgia and North Carolina, employs 50 full-time and 200 part-time staff, and operates a social enterprise that employs 85 adults with developmental disabilities.In this episode of the Charity Charge Show, host Stephen Garten sits down with Laura to talk through what it actually takes to scale a nonprofit, why "nonprofit is just a tax code," and the leadership principles she documents in her new book, The Joy Exchange.Quick SummaryESP serves people with disabilities through afterschool programs, family support, and a social enterprise called JavaJoy.Laura took over as a sophomore in college after the founder died, inheriting a deficit and four board members (one of whom was in jail).Her core growth framework: treat the nonprofit like a business, know the numbers, and be unapologetic about fundraising.Board management is a strategic function, not an obligation. Boards should evolve as the organization evolves.Mentorship and continuous learning have been the constant throughout 21 years of leadership.

Empire Records (1995) was chosen by Patreon supporter Nick, and it represents a perfect snapshot of mid-90s youth culture wrapped inside a modest studio comedy. Directed by Allan Moyle and produced by Regency Enterprises for Warner Bros., the film was developed during a period when studios were eager to tap into the alternative music scene and Generation X attitudes. Rather than focusing on blockbuster spectacle, the production centered on character-driven storytelling and the energy of independent record store culture, something that resonated strongly with the decade's music-obsessed audiences.Filming took place primarily in Wilmington, North Carolina, with production designers transforming a local storefront into the now-iconic Empire Records shop. The cast featured a mix of emerging young actors, many of whom would go on to have prominent careers in film and television. Although the movie underperformed during its initial theatrical release, it found new life on home video and cable television throughout the late 1990s. Over time, Empire Records developed a passionate cult following, becoming one of the defining nostalgia pieces for fans of 90s alternative culture and music-driven coming-of-age films.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISOne record store. One unforgettable day. And a group of employees who refuse to let the music stop.When a tight-knit crew of misfits faces the possibility of losing the place that means everything to them, emotions run high, tempers flare, and secrets start spilling out. Over the course of one chaotic day, friendships are tested, dreams collide, and the soundtrack of a generation plays loud.Empire Records — where the music is loud, the drama is louder, and the day will change everything.FUN FACTSEmpire Records was released during the height of the 1990s alternative rock boom, featuring a soundtrack packed with era-defining artists.The film helped popularize the phrase “Damn the man, save the Empire!”, which became a lasting cult quote among fans.Several cast members, including Liv Tyler and Renée Zellweger, were early in their careers when the film was released.The movie's soundtrack album became more commercially successful than the film itself, selling strongly throughout the 1990s.Many scenes in the film were trimmed or removed from the theatrical cut, with additional material later appearing in extended versions.October 8th has become known among fans as “Rex Manning Day,” inspired by one of the film's most memorable in-universe events.The movie is frequently cited as a cult classic of Generation X cinema, capturing the attitudes and anxieties of 90s youth culture.The fictional Empire Records store was inspired by the independent record shops that thrived before digital music changed the industry.Over the years, the film has inspired fan screenings, themed parties, and annual celebrations tied to its cultural references.Despite its modest box office, the movie's reputation has grown significantly thanks to home video and streaming-era rediscovery.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Announcement: Uniting Ministries and Generations to Mobilize the Church in PrayerChurch Prayer Leaders Network, Prayershop Publishing, and Presence Pioneers Media are excited to announce the merger of our ministries.For decades, leaders such as Jonathan Graf, Dave & Kim Butts, and others have labored tirelessly to mobilize prayer in churches across America and beyond. Church Prayer Leaders Network (CPLN), Prayershop Publishing, and Prayer Connect magazine have been invaluable resources for thousands of prayer leaders, intercessors, and pastors who are hungry to see revival in their churches and cities. Moving forward, Presence Pioneers Media (PPM) is honored to serve as a steward of the books, content, resources, and relationships developed by CPLN and Prayershop.The co-founders of PPM are Matthew Lilley and Jonathan Friz, both of whom have led various prayer ministries for multiple decades. Along with founding Presence Pioneers, Matthew has helped launch multiple houses of prayer in North Carolina and has served in nationwide leadership roles with ministries such as Awaken the Dawn and Burn 24-7. Jonathan Friz is the founder of 10 Days, a global prayer movement that mobilizes united prayer in hundreds of locations for 10 days in the spring and the fall. Jonathan also helped found the 24-7 Global Family prayer room and the New England Prayer Alliance.With this acquisition, Presence Pioneers Media hopes to build on the foundation laid by the previous generation while reaching new generations with the timeless call to prayer and revival. Technology and forms of communication may evolve from generation to generation, but the truth of God's word is constant. Whether it be books, podcasts, movies, videos, articles, or magazines, our vision is to serve the prayer movement, prayer leaders, and the Church at large with online resources and print materials to fuel intimacy with God, revival, and awakening.This merger is an answer to our prayers. It will allow Church Prayer Leaders Network's mission to continue under the banner of Presence Pioneers Media. And it will increase the impact of Presence Pioneers by reaching more people with more prayer resources than ever before. We are so thankful for the Lord's leading in this transition, and we believe the best is yet to come!Jonathan Graf, President of Church Prayer Leaders NetworkMatthew Lilley, President of Presence PioneersJonathan Friz, Director of Presence Pioneers Media

Haley Adams is back. After a ten-year career in CrossFit that started when she was just 14 years old, the 2018 Fittest Teen on Earth took a much-needed break in 2023. Today, she opens up about the weight of expectations and the intense pressure she felt after moving to the individual division. She discusses how negative social media comments impacted her body image and relationship with food, and how stepping away allowed her the space she needed to focus on both her mental and physical health. Haley shares the joy of rediscovering her love for training, learning to prioritize wellness over burning calories, and the excitement of joining the Red Bull family. We also touch on her fifth-place finish at the 2024 CrossFit Games and her life beyond the box, (that's CrossFit-speak for gym) — including her love for Disney movies and her ever-growing family of animals. IN THIS EPISODE Haley’s early start in CrossFit at age 14 and her transition from gymnastics. Winning the teenage division and the onset of intense pressure as an individual competitor. The impact of social media on her body image and mental health. Her decision to take a year off in 2023 and the "total mental breakdown" that led to it. The healing process, returning home to North Carolina, and rediscovering the fun in fitness. Learning to fuel her body properly and moving away from disordered eating habits. Her current training routine, recovery strategies, and the importance of a support system. Life outside the gym: Disney movies, her two cats, Australian Shepherd puppy, axolotl, and hermit crabs. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "By taking that step back, I chose myself. And that’s the most beautiful example. I think so many amazing things came from that." "I realized like, sure I was at rock bottom, but it can’t get worse. Things get hard, but don’t give up on yourself." "I was training so much because I was scared that someone was going to outwork me ... just a tunnel vision, nothing else in the world mattered to me. That’s all I cared about." "It’s okay to still have bad days. It’s not the end of the world. It doesn’t mean that you’re taking a step backwards or going into your old ways." "Try to enjoy the whole process because it could be gone tomorrow. Once I learned to enjoy competing again, it was like a whole different experience." "I’ve learned to be a lot nicer to myself because, at the end of the day, this is the voice that you’re stuck with in your head. So you might as well make it nice."

Energy bills are rising, data centers are multiplying, and the grid is straining to keep up. What happens next? For two decades, electricity prices in the United States barely moved. Demand was flat, natural gas was cheap, and the system was largely stable. That era is over. A surge in data center construction, accelerating electrification, and the legacy of years of underinvestment in energy infrastructure have collided to create a system under strain.Nowhere is that more visible than in PJM, the largest wholesale power market in the US, stretching from Illinois to North Carolina, and home to some of the world's most active hot spots for data center development. Host Ed Crooks is joined by Paul Segal, CEO of LS Power, and Melissa Lott, Partner for Energy Technologies at Microsoft, to assess how the system can meet the new challenges it faces.LS Power is a leading developer and operator of electricity generation and transmission, so Paul is right at the heart of these questions. He is making multi-billion dollar decisions that shape the ways that America's electricity gets supplied.He makes the case that competitive markets, given the right rules and durable signals, can deliver the solutions the grid needs. LS Power is pursuing demand response, battery storage, renewable projects, and gas generation simultaneously. And he warns that political interventions, such as price caps, risk weakening the signals that drive investment. The question of who pays is at the heart of the debate. A bipartisan group of state governors got together with the Trump administration to call for emergency procurement of new generation capacity in PJM, with data centers expected to bear the cost. Paul argues this is inevitable. For hyperscalers to maintain a social license to keep building, he says, households cannot be left to pick up the bill for load growth created by data centers. Melissa brings the consumer perspective, noting that US household electricity prices rose 26% between 2019 and 2024, outpacing income growth and falling hardest on the most energy-vulnerable families. The episode also looks at longer-term structural solutions, including the case for more competition in transmission planning and the lessons from Texas's wildly successful CREZ program to build out grid infrastructure.It closes with a discussion of another issue that is high on Paul's agenda: mentorship and training. He believes industry leaders have a responsibility to create opportunities for the next generation, despite the threat to entry-level roles created by AI. There is a huge task in front of us to build the grid of the future, and we need skilled and experienced people to do it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On January 2, 2000, eighteen-year-old Zebb Quinn finished his shift at Walmart in Ashville, North Carolina and set off to look at a used car with his co-worker, Jason Owens. Halfway to their destination, Zebb told Jason he received an important call on his pager and needed to return the call immediately and they would have to postpone their plans to look at the car. That was the last time anyone saw Zebb Quinn. For weeks, Zebb's family and the Ashville police searched for the teenager, but it was as though he had disappeared into thin air. Then, to everyone's surprise, Zebb's car was found in a parking lot not far from the hospital where his mother and sister worked, as though someone had left it in a conspicuous place where it would be found. But more surprising than the discovery of the car itself was the incredibly strange and unexpected evidence found inside the vehicle, including several markings on the windows in red lipstick and a live black labrador puppy.
