Kun Renae Marsden tutustui ystävänsä Camilan kautta Brayden-nimiseen mieheen, hän oli onnensa kukkuloilla. Suhdetta varjosti se, että pian sen alkamisen jälkeen Brayden joutui vankilaan ja Renae pystyi ylläpitämään suhdetta Braydeniin vain tekstiviestien kautta. Renaen vanhempien mielestä suhde ei tehnyt hyvää Renaelle ja heidän mielestään Braydenissa oli jotain omituista. Lopulta suhde päättyi tavalla, jota kukaan ei osannut ennustaa. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

856. According to the internet, your morning brew might be hiding "mold toxins" that cause brain fog, fatigue, and digestive issues. But is mold-free coffee a bona fide health breakthrough, or just a clever marketing play? This week, Monica takes a closer look at the science of mycotoxins in coffee, specifically Ochratoxin A (OTA). We separate food safety facts from "wellness guru" fiction to find out if standard coffee beans are actually undermining your health. What Mycotoxins Are: Understanding the difference between visible mold and chemical compounds like Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin A. The Roasting Defense: Why the roasting process is your best protection against toxins and why "green coffee" products carry different risks. Hazard vs. Risk: A crucial distinction in food safety—is the presence of a toxin the same thing as a threat to your health? Practical Prevention: 4 simple steps to minimize exposure—from checking "roasted on" dates to proper home storage—without paying a premium for specialty brands. The Big Picture: How coffee compares to tea, herbal infusions, and cocoa when it comes to OTA levels.

The cab-forward SUV rides on an 800V architecture with Atlas drive unit motors, a J3400 charging port, and a new centralised electrical architecture designed to cut wiring costs and lower insurance expenses.LUCID SHOWS LUNAR ROBOTAXI CONCEPTLucid unveiled the Lunar, a two-seat robotaxi concept with steer-by-wire, no steering wheel or pedals, and a large central display, built on the same 800V midsize platform as the Cosmos. It targets an impressive 5.5–6 miles per kWh efficiency and DC fast-charging performance of 200+ miles of range in 15 minutes, achieved through aggressive aerodynamic tuning that allows a smaller battery pack.UBER NEARS SECOND LUCID ROBOTAXI DEALUber is finalising a deal with Lucid to deploy its midsize platform as a robotaxi at volumes comparable to the existing 20,000-unit Gravity SUV contract. If confirmed at similar scale, the combined Lucid-Uber robotaxi programme would total roughly 40,000 vehicles across two platforms.RIVIAN R2 TIMELINE TIGHTENSRivian has unveiled the R2 Performance starting at $57,990, but buyers cannot yet configure the car online and reservation holders won't learn their estimated order time until June. This puts Rivian's previously stated Spring delivery window in serious doubt, as orders won't enter production until June at the earliest.POLESTAR 3 ADDS 800V TECH FOR AUSTRALIAPolestar has updated the Polestar 3 with 800V architecture enabling up to 350kW DC fast charging and a 10–80% charge time of just 22 minutes, alongside a new NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin processor replacing the older Xavier chip. The range now spans three trims with battery packs of 92kWh or 106kWh, and existing owners will receive a complimentary hardware retrofit for the upgraded computing platform.STELLANTIS HOLDS TALKS WITH XIAOMI AND XPENGStellantis is in talks with Xiaomi and Xpeng about deals that could include Chinese carmakers taking stakes in Stellantis brands like Maserati and accessing European manufacturing facilities. In return, Stellantis hopes to gain EV and software technology it has struggled to develop competitively, and is also exploring a deeper tie-up with Leapmotor for affordable EVs in Europe.VOLKSWAGEN MISSES EU CO2 TARGET, AVOIDS FINESVolkswagen missed its 2025 EU fleet CO2 target, finishing at 100g/km against its 95g/km limit, despite BEV deliveries rising 32% to nearly 1 million units. The EU's three-year compliance mechanism means no immediate fines, but the group must now meet fleet limits in 2026 and 2027, primarily through an accelerated BEV push built around its Electric Urban Car Family rollout.LEAPMOTOR B10 OTA ADDS ONE-PEDAL DRIVINGLeapmotor pushed a major OTA update to the B10 six months after launch, adding one-pedal driving, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, split-screen navigation, and a Quick Start mode — all without requiring a dealer visit. The update also brings customisable steering wheel shortcut buttons and more natural adaptive cruise control behaviour in bends, with the B10 priced from €33,300.GM BACKS RARE EV1 RESTORATIONGM is actively supporting the restoration of V212, one of the few surviving EV1s, after the car sold at auction for over $100,000 following its discovery in a Georgia impound lot. GM President Mark Reuss invited the restoration team to GM's Global Technical Center, supplying parts and technical documentation, with the goal of completing the project before the EV1's 30th anniversary in November 2026.

All trims charge 10–80% in 29 minutes via a native NACS port, with a $1,495 destination charge across the board.FORD CUTS EXPLORER ENTRY PRICE WITH LFP BATTERYFord has revised its European Explorer EV with a new LFP battery pack, growing usable capacity from 52 kWh to 58 kWh and boosting WLTP range 17% to 444 km (276 miles), while a stronger APP350 motor lifts output to 140 kW and cuts the 0–100 km/h time to 8.0 seconds. The updated model starts at €39,990 in Germany and adds vehicle-to-load charging, refreshed infotainment, expanded driver assistance features, and standard one-pedal driving, though peak DC charging drops from 145 kW to 110 kW.LUCID NAMES MIDSIZE SUVS COSMOS AND EARTHLucid revealed at Investor Day 2026 that its two upcoming midsize electric SUVs will be called Cosmos and Earth, targeting a ~$50,000 starting price and production before end of 2026. Both will use 800V architecture, bidirectional charging, the new in-house Atlas drive unit (23% lighter, 30% fewer parts), and Lucid claims just 69 kWh would be sufficient for 300 miles of range thanks to a 0.22 drag coefficient.LUCID GRAVITY ADDS CARPLAY AND ANDROID AUTOLucid has rolled out an OTA update (UX 3.5) bringing wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the Gravity SUV for North American owners now, with Europe and the Middle East to follow in late March. Both systems display on the Gravity's 6K Clearview Cockpit screen, addressing one of the most requested features from Lucid customers.JAECOO 8 UK SALES START IN MAYThe Jaecoo 8, a three-row flagship SUV, goes on sale in the UK in May priced from £45,500, using Chery's Super Hybrid System pairing a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with a three-speed auto for 422 bhp, 83 miles of electric-only range, and over 700 miles of combined range. Two trims are offered — Luxury (seven seats, £45,500) and Executive (six Nappa leather captain's chairs, £47,500) — with DC fast charging up to 40 kW for a 30–80% charge in about 20 minutes.EU EV PRICES FALL AS SMALL CARS RETURNAverage EU electric car prices dropped €1,800 to €42,700 in 2025 — the first decline since 2020 — driven by a surge in affordable B-segment BEVs like the Citroën ë-C3 and Renault 5, whose average segment prices fell 13%. T&E expects further price pressure in 2026 as Volkswagen Group prepares a small-car family including the ID. Polo, Cupra Raval, and Skoda Epiq, all targeting around €25,000.HONDA AXES THREE US EVSHonda has cancelled the 0 Series SUV, 0 Series Saloon, and Acura RSX for U.S. production, warning of losses up to ¥2.5 trillion ($15.8 billion) as it reverses its EV strategy amid rollbacks of U.S. fossil fuel regulations and removal of EV incentives. CEO Toshihiro Mibe said the priority is to "stop the bleeding," with operating losses now expected up to ¥1.12 trillion in the current fiscal year; the Sony-Honda Afeela brand is unaffected.VOLKSWAGEN SETS ID. POLO FROM €25,000Volkswagen will world-premiere the entry-level ID. Polo next month, starting at €25,000 and marking the first ID model to carry an established VW brand name. The range spans 37 kWh LFP and 52 kWh NMC battery options with outputs from 85 kW to 166 kW, and includes an R-Line (~€35,000, ~211 hp) and a GTI variant, with up to 450 km (280 miles) of WLTP range from the larger pack.ENEL COMPLETES 3,730 CHARGING STATIONSEnel has finished installing 3,730 EV charging stations across five Italian regions under the first tender of Italy's PNRR recovery plan, with each station offering two points capable of up to 90 kW each. The network is accessible via Enel's app or card and integrates with around 160 mobility service providers, with a further 1,200 stations already contracted under subsequent tenders.ELECTREON COMPLETES INDUCTEV ACQUISITIONElectreon has finalized its acquisition of U.S.-based InductEV, combining dynamic in-road wireless charging with InductEV's high-power stationary wireless charging for heavy-duty transit and freight. The merged portfolio now covers highway and urban corridor charging (LINE), burst charging at stops (DASH), depot charging (DOT), and heavy-duty freight charging (Ultra DOT).SCANDLINES STARTS BALTIC WHALE SERVICEScandlines launched the Baltic Whale on 10 March 2026, claiming it as the world's largest electric freight ferry in operation at 147 metres, running the 18.5 km Rødby–Puttgarden route carrying 66 freight units. Its 10 MWh battery can fully recharge in just 12 minutes via a dedicated 50 kV / 25 MW cable, with an automated docking tower connecting in 15 seconds, while a hybrid diesel mode reduces crossing time from one hour to 45 minutes.

On today's episode of Quick Charge, a new lawsuit alleges that Tesla was negligent in retaining Elon Musk as CEO, comparing him to a fast-talking salesman and questioning his input into engineering and safety decisions at the struggling EV brand. Plus, we explore the executive exodus at Tesla that began in mid 2024, ask why Tesla cars equipped with FSD are driving people into lakes and through railroad crossings, then take a look at the Rivian R2 and upcoming, mid-sized Tesla Model Y "killers" from Lucid. Are these the most credible threats to Tesla's Model Y dominance in America's EV market, yet, or will Tesla's "negligent" CEO come through on his AI-powered promises?

On today's podcast, we're joined again by James Hwang, co-founder of Stellar Housing Solutions in New Jersey, where he and his partners operate 20+ midterm rentals through a mix of ownership, co-hosting, and arbitrage. James breaks down how he's expanded his reach far beyond his own units by building a local MTR network—a WhatsApp group of New Jersey operators who share leads, referrals, and vendors. That collaboration acts like a “third OTA,” keeping units booked even in slow seasons and opening doors to new co-hosting and arbitrage deals. We dig into arbitrage in today's market—where it still works, where it doesn't, and how James structures profitable deals. He targets solid but slightly less “premium” areas near hot markets, negotiates creatively around rent vs. deposits, and positions himself as the stress-free solution for landlords. James also walks us through his landlord conversation playbook: speaking as a fellow owner, addressing pain points like non-payment and property damage, and demonstrating how midterm rentals can mean early, automated rent and better-maintained units. That credibility often leads to repeat opportunities and more doors. If you're looking to scale midterm rentals, tap into community instead of competing, or revive arbitrage with smart analysis and systems, this episode with James is a masterclass in doing MTRs the right way.     Resources: Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Get in touch with Envy Investment Group Connect with James on Instagram Get the deets on Stellar Housing Solutions Find out more about MTR Office Hours Listen to Episode 193 Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

Mitch Bach talks with Jenn Barbee, co-founder of Destination Innovate, about the real inner workings of DMOs, those three letters that every tour operator has an opinion about but few actually understand. Jenn has spent 30 years inside destination marketing, from a shoestring US Department of Commerce team trying to promote America on a $50,000 budget to her current work closing the gap between DMOs and the small businesses they are supposed to serve. The conversation covers how DMOs get funded, why they sit on valuable visitor data, and what tour operators can actually do to get beyond the dead-end website listing.It goes further than the typical "how to work with your tourism board" advice. Jenn and Mitch get into the identity crisis hitting tour operators and DMOs at the same time: both are losing ground to OTA platforms, both need direct guest relationships, and neither is building enough local partnerships to fight back. They talk short-term rental hosts as untapped referral channels, guerrilla marketing tactics that cost almost nothing, and the hard truth about inbound tourism to the US heading into World Cup and the 250th anniversary.Key TakeawaysYour DMO has expensive visitor data that could sharpen your product, pricing, and ads, but they will not hand it over unless you ask. 06:14 – 07:19 DMOs invest in data about visitor appetite, competing markets, and traveler clusters by neighborhood and interest type. That information rarely trickles down to small tour businesses because DMOs feel pressure to contextualize it or fear judgment on their numbers. Frame your ask around strengthening the destination's tourism product, not just helping your business, and you stand a real chance of getting access to insights you could never afford on your own.The single best first move with your DMO is to find the community manager and introduce yourself with specific visitor language, not a sales pitch. 11:48 – 12:58 Audit your tour product against what the destination website is promoting in terms of itineraries or themes, then reach out where you see a match or a gap. Lead with collaboration. Once you have that baseline, you can inch toward higher-value asks like data sharing or co-promotion, but only after you have earned the relationship through showing up and being useful.Survey your customers about whether they booked the experience before the hotel, then bring that data to the DMO. 56:29 – 56:39 If you can show a DMO that your tour attracted bed nights, you are speaking their only real language: occupancy and bed tax justification. Most tour operators never collect this data, and most DMOs have never seen it from a small business. It positions you as a strategic asset rather than another name on a listings page.DMOs are shifting from marketing organizations to stewardship organizations, and that tension is something you can use. 08:50 – 09:59 Many DMOs now describe themselves as "destination management" or "stewardship" organizations, moving toward what is right for their communities. Their boards and bed tax collectors still want heads-in-beds KPIs. If your tour disperses visitors into underserved neighborhoods, supports local businesses, or tells a more honest destination story, you become the kind of partner that helps a DMO justify its new direction to the people holding the purse strings.Getting listed on the DMO website is a win. Stop underestimating it. 13:10 – 13:45 Many operators treat a listing as table stakes, but some DMOs do not even offer that without a paid membership. If you are listed, follow up by tagging the DMO constantly on social media and feeding them content they can reshare within their brand guidelines. The social media managers have more flexibility than the executive staff and will amplify content that feels fresh or on-brand.If your local DMO is stuck promoting only the marquee attractions, skip them and go to the state level. 17:38 – 18:32 A DMO locked into bread-and-butter promotion is usually in protection mode, worried about occupancy numbers. State tourism offices have embraced experience-driven programming and are more open to working with operators who tell a broader story. For most small tour businesses, the state governor's conference on tourism is where accessible DMO relationships start.Short-term rental hosts are closer to the guest than any DMO, and tour operators should be building direct relationships with them now. 24:31 – 26:00 Short-term rentals nationally overtook hotels in occupancy as of September 2025. Those hosts talk directly to guests about what to do in town. A recommendation from a local Airbnb host is warmer than any OTA listing and costs zero commission. Finding them is manual (social media DMs, local searches), but the payoff is a direct referral channel with no middleman.Stop chasing first-time visitors. Loyal, repeat visitors spend more, stay longer, and sustain the businesses that matter. 32:49 – 33:32 DMOs and operators both fixate on acquiring new customers while ignoring the people who already love the destination. Repeat visitors become patrons of smaller, niche experiences and local businesses. For multi-day operators especially, a returning guest who books a deeper or different tour is more profitable than constantly feeding the top of the funnel.Identity beats branding. Know who you are and say no to the rest. 38:44 – 41:27 Jenn draws a hard line between brand (what you market) and identity (who you actually are and who you serve). When you lead with identity, you market less because the right people find you. That means turning down some customers and product ideas, which is terrifying for newer operators, but it prevents the bland, generic positioning that makes you invisible on platforms like Viator and GetYourGuide.The "book direct" movement matters for tour operators just as much as it does for short-term rentals and hotels. 42:58 – 44:28 Hotels lost roughly 80% of their distribution to OTAs. Tours and activities sit around 40% OTA-controlled, which means there is still time to build direct channels. DMOs missed the OTA boat the first time and are caught in a relevancy crisis. That creates a shared interest: both of you need to reclaim the guest relationship before the platforms own it entirely.Guerrilla, person-to-person marketing is the only thing worth betting on in this environment. 34:16 – 35:03 Replace coffee sleeves at a local shop for a week with a message like "next time mama's in town, try this." That costs almost nothing and puts your name in front of a local audience in a real, physical moment. Operators burning money on flashy ad campaigns and agencies are losing to the ones doing the manual work of building one relationship at a time.Bring tour operators, short-term rental hosts, and local businesses into the same room. The collaboration that comes out of it is worth more than any campaign. 30:35 – 32:17 A 12-person Tourpreneur meetup in Dallas turned competitors into collaborators planning joint tours before they left the room. Those rooms should include short-term rental hosts, restaurants, coffee shops. Nobody is organizing these cross-sector local gatherings yet. That is the opportunity.Rethink the "travel presentation at the library" model. Gather local people around something that is not your tour. 53:23 – 54:46 Jenn pitches a revival of the house-party model for travel: 10 to 15 people, food, conversation, then introduce the experience. For multi-day operators, this replaces the stale slide deck. Book clubs are surging. House gatherings are surging. The sale happens because you built trust in a personal setting, not because you ran a Facebook ad.Quirky, unpolished video cuts through. But virality does not equal business success. 36:32 – 37:38 Behind-the-scenes, day-in-the-life content is what is actually getting traction on social right now. The less templated and less AI-generated it feels, the better it performs. Use that attention as a hook, then shift to collaborative content and real relationship-building that converts. A weird 30-second clip of your tour prep is worth more than a polished banner ad.The inbound tourism situation in the US is worse than most operators realize, and pretending otherwise is a losing strategy. 48:28 – 50:43 Canadian airlines are pulling US routes for summer 2026.

In this episode of the Only in OK Show, we are exploring the crown jewel of the 918 and a massive new tribute to an Oklahoma music legend. Part 1: The Power of Tulsa – Gathering Place We dive into why Gathering Place was recently voted the #1 City Park in the Nation for 2024 by USA TODAY. From the vision of the George Kaiser Family Foundation to its mission of unifying Tulsa across all zip codes, find out what makes this $465 million gift so special. The Bloom Watch: Learn about the 70+ cherry blossom trees expected to hit full bloom March 20–23. Adventure Awaits: We break down the Chapman Adventure Playground, the "Laredo Slide Vale" (yes, for adults too!), and the free kayak rentals at Peggy's Pond. Pro Tip: Check out the ONEOK Boathouse for the history of these iconic trees and the "Community Cherry Tree" exhibit. Part 2: Red, White, and Black-top – The Toby Keith Expressway We shift gears to discuss the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority's latest announcement: the new East-West Connector is officially being named the Toby Keith Expressway. The Project: A 30-mile, $3 billion stretch linking I-44 to I-35 as part of the ACCESS Oklahoma plan. The Family's Stance: We discuss Stelen Covel's (Toby's son) honest reflection on the project—from initial community concerns to Toby's final support for the state's economic growth. The Debate: Does naming a toll road after a local hero make the "tax" easier to swallow, or are Oklahomans still "Red Solo Cup half-empty" about the construction?

We're focusing on an emerging branch of artificial intelligence called agentic AI – that is, an AI tool that can, essentially, act like a booking agent, all the way up to making a reservation on the traveler’s behalf. It acts like an agent – but is it a threat to human travel advisors? And what does agentic AI mean for the OTA model, supplier customer service and travelers themselves? On this episode, McKinsey and Co.’s Vik Krishnan and Travel Weekly aviation editor Robert Silk talk with host Rebecca Tobin about the latest developments in agentic AI and travel and where the technology could lead us.

Helmikuisena sunnuntaina vuonna 1999 Paul Skiba lupasi tuurata työntekijäänsä omistamassaan muuttofirmassa. Paul lähti muuttokeikalle yhdessä 9-vuotiaan tyttärensä Sarahin ja työntekijänsä Lorenzon kanssa. Muuttokeikalle lähdön jälkeen kolmikosta ei ole yhtäkään havaintoa. Muuttoauton sisältä löytyneet vihjeet viittasivat siihen, että jostain syystä he joutuivat henkirikoksen uhriksi. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

Big SUVs aren't supposed to feel nimble—yet our week with the 2025 Ford Expedition King Ranch told a different story. We break down what Ford changed for the new generation, from the tasteful exterior touches to a cabin that jumps a class with Mesa Del Rio leather, a sprawling 24-inch driver display, and a crisp 13.2-inch touchscreen. Add second-row captain's chairs, a power-folding third row, B&O Unleashed audio, and BlueCruise with Co‑Pilot360 2.0, and you've got a road-trip rig that treats the whole crew well without turning every maneuver into a chore.Under the hood, the 3.5L twin-turbo V6 and 10‑speed automatic deliver confident acceleration and serious towing capability—up to 9,600 pounds when properly equipped. We share real-world fuel economy and why the Expedition's steering feel and turning radius surprised us more than the spec sheet suggested. Then we zoom out to the buying decision: where the Expedition sits on price across trims, and how it stacks up against the Chevy Tahoe, Toyota Sequoia hybrid, and Nissan Armada. If you're shopping full-size three-row SUVs, these head-to-head details will save you time and test drives.We also get candid about the messier side of modern vehicles: software reliability. From Bluetooth dropouts and lackluster OTA updates to subscription fatigue, we unpack why the “software-defined vehicle” promise keeps tripping over basics. And for EV fans, we discuss Ford's Mustang Mach‑E moving the frunk to the options list to make room for a larger heat pump—proof that packaging choices have real-world trade-offs. To round things out, we share Houston-area cruise-ins and shows, plus where to watch our live stream and catch the podcast on your favorite platform.If you enjoy smart car talk without the fluff, hit follow and share this episode with a friend who's SUV shopping.

Short-term rental hosts are waking up to a hard truth: Airbnb and Vrbo bring the bookings, but they keep the guest relationship. In this episode, we sit down with StayFi founder Arthur Colker to unpack how Wi-Fi-based guest data collection can help hosts and property managers build their own brands, drive more direct bookings, and reduce reliance on OTAs. Arthur shares the origin story of StayFi, why Wi-Fi captive portals are such a powerful marketing entry point, and how their built-in email tools turn past guests into repeat, direct bookers. We also dig into real-world results from Pride Away Stays, the launch of StayFinder as a direct-booking meta search tool, and what the future looks like for hosts who truly want to own the guest experience from first click to check-out.Things we discussed in this episode:Hosts lose guest data and relationships when relying on Airbnb/VRBO.StayFi was created to capture guest info for direct bookings.Guests enter emails through a branded Wi‑Fi splash page.StayFi runs on UniFi access points or StayFi Express.Jason and Rory saw stronger Wi‑Fi and fixed a Schlage lock.They clarified why “not secure” Wi‑Fi warnings appear for guests.Automated emails help turn past guests into repeat direct bookers.Availability-based campaigns promote only properties open for specific dates.StayFinder shows OTA vs. direct prices and links to direct sites.StayFi plans managed email services and cheaper mesh hardware.Get in touch with ARTHUR:Facebook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/a.colker/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/a_colker/?hl=enWebsite - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://stayfi.com/#SmartStayShow #realestate #realestateinvestor #realestateagent #RealEstateInvesting #DirectBooking #BookDirect #EmailMarketing #GuestExperience #OwnYourGuest#StayFi #StayFinder #WiFiMarketing #HospitalityTech #PropTechFollow Us!Join Jason Muth of Prideaway Stays and Straightforward Short-Term Rentals and Real Estate Attorney / Broker Rory Gill for the first episode of SmartStay Show!Following and subscribing to SmartStay Show not only ensures that you'll get instant updates whenever we release a new episode, but it also helps us reach more people who could benefit from the valuable content that we provide.

On today's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Michael Goldin, Brandreth Canaley, Jamie Lane and Wil Slickers revisit Vrbo's weather refund product now officially rolling out after earlier tests, and they unpack Airbnb's airport-pickup experiment, a sign of the company pushing into broader travel services beyond stays. They also look at why analysts say the industry needs a new way to read OTA results as traditional metrics fail to capture how distribution, search, and AI are reshaping performance. The conversation then turns to unrest in Mexico, where violence following the killing of a cartel leader has led major airlines — including American Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Air Canada — to cancel or suspend flights to high-traffic leisure hubs like Puerto Vallarta, forcing waivers, rebookings, and travel flexibility as cancellations pile up. The episode wraps with a broader look at how product innovation, shifting performance metrics, and sudden geopolitical shocks are making travel planning and forecasting more complex for operators and consumers alike Connect with Airline Weekly LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/airline-weekly/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/Airline_Weekly/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/airlineweekly/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/skiftnews/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WhatsApp: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAL375LikgIXmNPYQ0L/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SkiftNews⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and never miss an update from the airline and travel industries.

Description This week on Overdrive, David Brown and Paul Murrell unpack the first results from Australia's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard and what they really mean for car makers and buyers. They examine winners, losers and the politics of emissions averaging. Subaru returns to frontline motorsport safety, JAC fine-tunes a plug-in hybrid ute at Lang Lang, and Leapmotor updates its EV over the air. Plus, listener feedback on traffic data, marketing jargon, Bathurst memories—and a road test of the MG U9 ute that surprises in more ways than one. Episode Breakdown • NVES first results analysed – including winners, losers 00:00:39 • Subaru's new Supercars role – 00:16:23 • JAC Hunter PHEV tested locally – 00:26:05 • Leapmotor OTA update explained – 00:30:56 • Traffic data & governance debate – 00:39:51 • Road test: MG U9 ute – 00:50:37 ________________________________________ NVES first results analysed The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard's first six-month snapshot shows about two-thirds of suppliers beating their CO₂ targets. Passenger cars averaged 21 per cent below target, but light commercials—especially utes—lagged. The scheme works on fleet averages, not individual bans, raising questions about offsets, real-world use and whether it drives genuine change or simply mirrors market trends already underway. Winners, losers & carbon credits BYD leads on credits, with Toyota and Tesla strong thanks largely to hybrids and EVs. Mazda sits deep in deficit, with Nissan and Subaru also behind. Performance brands such as Ferrari and Rolls-Royce top the per-vehicle emissions stakes, though low volumes soften impact. The ability to trade credits adds economic pressure—but also fuels debate about “buying the right to pollute”. Subaru's new Supercars role Subaru becomes exclusive on-track support vehicle supplier for the Repco Supercars Championship from 2026. WRX tS Spec B models will act as safety and course cars, with Outback handling medical duties. The move reinforces brand credibility in performance and safety, even as motorsport's marketing value remains hard to quantify. JAC Hunter PHEV tested locally JAC's Hunter plug-in hybrid ute is undergoing 50,000km of Australian validation at Lang Lang and on public roads. With dual electric motors, turbo petrol engine and V2L capability, it's being tuned for towing, durability and local conditions. It's another sign Chinese brands are investing seriously in market-specific engineering. Leapmotor OTA update explained Leapmotor adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via over-the-air update, alongside refinements to driver assistance and one-pedal driving. OTA updates promise convenience, but also raise questions about feature creep, intrusive alerts and subscription-style activations. The challenge remains clear communication without distracting drivers. Traffic data & governance debate A response from Transport for NSW on traffic counting raised broader concerns: data collection quality, calibration and governance. Measuring traffic flow is complex, but accuracy and transparency matter. Without robust oversight, even well-intentioned policy can rest on shaky foundations. Road test: MG U9 ute In 35 years of testing, David never expected to review an MG ute. Yet the U9 is wide, comfortable and thoughtfully packaged, with a practical tray and clever folding tailgate. Its 2.5-litre turbo diesel feels old-school, and the gearbox can hesitate, but ride comfort on sealed and dirt roads impresses. At around $60,000, it's competitive—less testosterone hero, more practical family-friendly dual cab.

From there, the hosts dissect Airbnb's widening blast radius: airport transfers, grocery delivery tests, revived experiences, a bigger hotel push, and (again) a non-points loyalty experiment. Ben argues the ambition is coherent but execution has historically lagged—so the question is what Airbnb actually nails in the next 6–12 months. Then the episode turns to the bigger tectonic shift: agentic AI and whether it breaks the OTA model. Scott calls it noise until it works; Ben and Edwin push that consumers will prefer conversational planning to endless deal-scrolling, pressuring commissions and “propping up mediocrity” less and less. Spice of the Week closes on the coming job title nobody's staffed for yet: the people who manage fleets of agents—and the businesses that still win because humans show up.   This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

This episode from CES 2026 features Michael O'Shea, CTO and COO of MOTER Technologies, discussing the company's approach to usage-based insurance through in-vehicle AI deployment. MOTER Technologies, backed by a major Japanese insurance company, places software directly in vehicles to analyze sensor data and generate fair driver risk scores while maintaining privacy through edge computing. O'Shea explains how their collaboration with Sonatus AI Director enables standardized deployment of their lightweight AI models across different vehicle platforms, benefiting drivers through potentially lower insurance costs, OEMs through revenue sharing and customer loyalty programs, and insurance companies through more accurate risk assessment. The conversation covers the evolution from traditional OBD dongles and smartphone apps to sophisticated in-vehicle systems that provide contextual understanding of driving behavior. O'Shea also discusses their DriveSAGE coaching application that provides feedback to help drivers improve their safety scores, emphasizing the importance of transparency and customer consent in data usage.

There's been a lot of discussion about Lamar Jackson's lack of involvement in voluntary OTA over the years. Will that change with a new coach in town? Eric DeCosta doesn't sound like he's too worried about it either way.

On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, Brandreth Canaley, and Jamie Lane dig into the latest headlines shaping online travel, short-term rentals, and platform strategy. Otamiser has secured $2M in fresh capital to scale its AI-driven revenue platform for hotels and STR operators, highlighting continued investor interest in tech that boosts OTA visibility and revenue. Airbnb is testing loyalty benefits — exploring non-traditional perks and potential paid-member mechanics that CEO Brian Chesky says could be a “massive accelerant” for repeat stays. The team also breaks down how Airbnb's hotel strategy is expanding far beyond pilot programs into broader markets, revisiting its competitive stance versus OTAs like Booking.com and others. Tripadvisor CEO Matt Goldberg acknowledged in a confidential memo that recent share price volatility and investor frustration with slow AI progress are weighing on the business, while Sabre Corporation announced layoffs and leadership reshuffles as it pivots toward becoming an “AI-native” tech provider.

Rebecca Zahau menehtyi kuuluisalla Spreckles-kartanolla Coronadossa Yhdysvalloissa vuonna 2011. Vain pari päivää aikaisemmin Rebeccan miesystävän 6-vuotias poika Max oli joutunut samassa kartanossa vakavaan onnettomuuteen Rebeccan vahtivuorolla. Rebeccan kuolinsyyksi todettiin nopeasti itsemurha, mutta jutun outojen yksityiskohtien takia kaikki eivät ole nielleet virallista selitystä. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

8-vuotiaan April Tinsleyn sieppaus ja murha järkytti Fort Waynen kaupunkia keväällä 1988. Murhaaja piti kaupungin asukkaita pelossa myöhemminkin, kun hän jätti uhkaavan viestin julkiselle paikalle ja lähetti ällöttäviä kirjeitä ja “lahjoja” alueella asuneille pikkutytöille. Lopulta kehittynyt DNA-teknologia johdatti poliisit tekijän jäljille, 30 vuotta murhan jälkeen. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

What if the biggest opportunity in your STR business isn't higher ADR or better occupancy — but who actually owns your guest relationship?In this episode of The STR Data Lab, Jamie Lane sits down with Arthur Colker, CEO of StayFi, to unpack one of the most under-discussed levers in short-term rentals: guest acquisition costs and repeat demand. As OTAs continue tightening control over guest data and shifting fee structures, hosts and property managers are left asking an important question — are we building a business, or renting one?Arthur breaks down why tracking guest acquisition costs, collecting first-party data, and building a direct booking channel isn't just about avoiding platform fees. It's about increasing total occupancy, improving booking windows, and creating long-term resilience. From practical strategies for smaller operators to how advanced hosts are reaching 60%+ direct bookings, this conversation reframes direct booking as a growth strategy — not just a defensive move.If you've ever wondered whether investing in your brand, email marketing, or direct booking site is worth it — this episode delivers clarity.You don't want to miss this episode.Practical Takeaways You Can Apply NowThink beyond the booker. Every guest in the reservation is a potential future customer. Expanding your marketing mindset beyond the primary booker unlocks new repeat and referral opportunities.Consistency beats perfection. A simple monthly email — even plain-text and personalized — can outperform polished newsletters. The goal is to stay top of mind when guests are ready to book again.Direct bookings increase total occupancy — not just margins. The real ROI isn't only saving OTA fees. It's filling nights that would otherwise sit empty.Build a brand, even if you're small. Whether you have one property or ten, guests need an identity to remember. For smaller operators, your personal story and hospitality voice are the brand.Control your pricing strategy. Advanced operators often price higher on OTAs and reward direct bookings with better value — flipping the script from dependence to leverage.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

On Monday's Good Morning Hospitality, a Skift Podcast, Michael Goldin, Brandreth Canaley, Jamie Lane, and Wil Slickers break down the latest headlines shaping short-term rentals and online travel — from new funding bets to investor jitters around AI. They start with Kindred's $125 million funding round, unpacking why investors are backing home swapping as a lower-cost, lower-friction alternative to traditional short-term rentals and hotels. The conversation then turns to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States, and how host cities are bracing for rising prices, tighter regulations, and growing scrutiny of Airbnb as mega-events collide with local housing markets. The episode also checks in on OTA stocks, where analysts say recent sell-offs in Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) and Expedia Group reflect AI anxiety more than weakening travel demand. Both Mizuho and Baird argue fundamentals remain strong, with OTAs likely to stay powerful distribution players even as AI reshapes search.

19-vuotiaan Jessica Chambersin kammottava murha aiheutti järkytystä ja pelkoa pienessä Courtlandin kaupungissa Yhdysvalloissa vuonna 2014. Joku sytytti Jessican ja hänen autonsa tuleen ja poistui paikalta jälkiä jättämättä. Vähän ennen kuolemaansa Jessica onnistui kertomaan ääneen tappajansa nimen, mutta myöhemmin oikeudessa kiisteltiin siitä, voiko hänen sanomaansa nimeä pitää luotettavana vihjeenä. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

In this episode I discuss the following The Spin - OTA thoughts — was is enough to change the Shou meta? Feb (Guardians) preview and my rankings Listener ☎️ in with YOUR thoughts on the OTA and more

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into the Broncos and Phil lays out what Bo Nix will be going through the next few months as he rehabs form his injury and then gets away from the Broncos facility before returning for OTA's and training camp. Zach questions if Sean Payton is being figured out as a play caller and points out all the different personnel grouping Payton uses is a tell to defensive coordinators across the NFL. What went wrong with Evan Engram and the Broncos this season? How did he go from being Sean Payton's "Joker" to only catching one touchdown this season? Who deserves the blame for an underwhelming season from Engram? Bo Nix? Sean Payton? Or Engram himself? We wrap up the show discussing how the Nuggets will look with Jokic stepping back into the lineup after missing a month. 

Brock and Salk state how the importance of players showing up for OTA's and minicamp are crucial to long term success and how they've seen that this year, with some Mike Macdonald sound to contextualize it as well. They then discuss what to expect from Sam Darnold on Sunday and his expectations. In Blue 88, Brock takes a look at a phrase used by both Mike Macdonald and Sean McVay, the first down success of running the ball in the two Seahawks-Rams games so far and a defensive number that jumps out ahead of Sunday.

Carroll "Poke" Runyon founded the Ordo Templi Astartes in 1970, which is now America's oldest continually operating ritual magick lodge. Poke is joined by OTA senior member Maximilian Raphael Paul, and film director (and composer) Johnny Royal, to talk about ‘American Magick' a four-part television miniseries directed by Royal that unveils the OTA and Church of the Hermetic Sciences, following modern members through a powerful journey toward enlightenment. ⇓ ⇓ ⇓►⚡Watch ‘American Magick' on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/show/SC6WUMl-fpVsT1vz-xmD1Knw?season=1&sbp=CgEx►⚡Watch ‘American Magick' on Apple TV - https://tv.apple.com/us/show/american-magick/umc.cmc.v9tc6yrvc48losngtqfs66k7 ►✅Poke's Website - https://www.pokerunyon.com/►✅Johnny Royal - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3198724/ ✦

In this episode, I'm breaking down the real ROI of marketing for boutique hotels, micro resorts, and short-term rental owners, and I'm doing it with actual numbers, not fluffy marketing talk. One of the biggest questions I hear from owners is, "What's my ROI on marketing?" And the truth is, most hospitality businesses are looking at marketing the wrong way. It's not an expense you justify month to month. It's an income-producing asset that impacts revenue, margins, and the long-term value of the business you're building. I walk through a realistic boutique hotel example and show how marketing assets like branding, email marketing, social media, and a direct booking ecosystem can conservatively add around $300,000 per year in revenue, and potentially $800K to $1M in valuation when it comes time to sell. No unicorn assumptions. No perfect markets. Just simple math and strategy that most owners are (unfortunately) not leveraging. We talk about what marketing assets actually are, why relying solely on OTAs leaves you with no leverage, and how things like pricing power, owned demand, and direct bookings give you more control over your business. I also break down why social media is not just about visibility, but credibility and conversion, and why an email list is one of the most overlooked assets in hospitality. This episode also covers what to realistically expect from a marketing agency, how to evaluate ROI beyond just "new bookings," and why sometimes the biggest win is reclaiming profit you're currently giving away in OTA fees. If you're building a boutique hotel, micro resort, STR portfolio, or even a single high-performing property and you care about long-term growth, cash flow, and exit value, this conversation will help you rethink how marketing fits into the bigger picture of your business.
