Send us Fan MailJake Vaughn's story begins in a small town where music was more than a hobby; it was a lifeline. From the first time he picked up a guitar, he knew it was something he was meant to do. What started as late nights playing in small local bars soon turned into bigger stages, louder crowds, and a career built on passion, grit, and heart.Jake's sound comes from his roots. It's country at its core, but with the fire of rock and the honesty of real life running through every song. His voice and energy tell stories that people connect to, stories about hard work, love, loss, and chasing dreams.Support the showPodcast edited by Paul Martin.Theme song courtesy of M&R Rush.www.rocknrollchicagopodcast.com

Cameco is taking the first steps toward potentially listing its Westinghouse nuclear power subsidiary on the U.S. stock market. Paul Martin, Saskatchewan business commentator and expert, joins Evan to break down what this could mean for Cameco and the nuclear industry.

Dave Peyton inspired our writing of this song.West Virginia's greatest defender — and her harshest critic — Dave spoke tirelessly from his popular newspaper columns and in his frequent radio and television appearances…… but also anywhere else that people would listen, in coffee shops and at conferences, in living rooms and at dinner tables, on concert stages and in our band room between our weekly tunes.Railing against what he saw as the relentless ravaging of the state, he'd say, “Sometimes I think the worst thing that ever happened to West Virginia was when somebody discovered coal.“But they never stop,” he'd add. “First they came for the timber. Now, after they're done murdering the mountains, they'll find something else to take from us.”Whispered LegacyWhat bothered Dave as much as what they took was what the exploiters left behind: a paralyzing — if seldom-spoken — sense of guilt running through generations of Mountain State natives, a communal sorrow for not being able to stop the rape of our home.“It is whispered if spoken at all,” as our song says: Of a broken trust and a grief that must Be the cut that has wounded us all.A half dozen years before Peyton's death in 2020, his words inspired us, and “Murder of Mountains” started taking shape. With it now finally finished, we are pleased to have it as a tribute to Dave and to all he taught us.“Star of the County Down”The melody we use for our new song is the late Joe Dobbs' version of the Irish tune called “Star of the County Down,” and thereby hangs another tale.Back in the early 1980s, when Joe's Fret ‘n Fiddle music store was still in its original location on Huntington's West 14th Street, a bluegrass mandolin player from Boston was passing through and spent a few nights at the Dobbs house. During a jam session there, the lad played this tune, and Joe loved it. When asked about it, the man said, “It's an Irish song, but we've Americanized it.”A few months later at the next Bowen Bash, Joe taught it to the the rest of us, as you can hear in the above video (extracted, incidentally, from our Bowen Bash Legacy Film Series). It turns out that Joe's house guest had been taking lessons up in Boston from an Irish fiddler. “I guess that's where he got it,” Joe said.Anyway, for years, Joe and his Flood brothers played “Star of the County Down” in the same moody, stately manner as he had learned from that kind Yankee visitor. It was only later — decades later, in fact — that Joe learned just how “Americanized” the song had been.Say What Now?That was when another visitor — this one a fiddler from Ireland — later listened to Joe's rendition and asked the name of the melody. He was surprised when Joe told him, “Why, that's ‘Star of the County Down.'”“Really?” the visitor said. “Well,” he added sheepishly, “there's good news and bad news, Joe. The good news is that it's really lovely! The bad news is that's not how that tune goes.”“What?!” Joe said. “Well,” the stranger said, “I've never heard anyone play only the harmony part. Uh …. Here's how we play it.” The visitor feared his revelation would embarrass or anger his host, but, on the contrary, Joe found the news hilarious. The rest of The Flood did too.“So,” Dave chortled, “guess we oughta write some words to go with that song you wrote, Joe,” planting a seed in Charlie Bowen's mind that only now is bearing fruit in “Murder of Mountains.”Epilogue IHere's a footnote to the “Star of the County Down” part of this story. The Flood finally took steps to set the melodic record straight when back in 2020 the guys went into Paul Martin's studio to record their Speechless: The Instrumentals album. In the years after Joe's death, Doug Chaffin had stepped up to play The Flood's fiddle. Click the button to hear his rendition of “Star” from those sessions.In it you hear Doug open the number by faithfully stating the melody that Joe brought us all those years ago. Then the album's guest artist, Floodster Emeritus Stewart Schneider, comes forward for a fine Autoharp solo that nails the original melody as it is played in the aire's Irish homeland. After that, the track rocks back and forth between the two variations.Epilogue IIBy the way, we have also felt it appropriate to add “Murder of Mountains” to the curated “West Virginia Blend” playlist in our free Radio Floodango music streaming service.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! It's been a little over a year since the last federal election in Canada and this past week the House of Commons rose for the summer. It's hard to argue it's been anything but a good year for Carney Liberals. But that was last year. So, what does the Carney government need to do differently in year two? On Alberta separatism, what's the message and who should be the messenger? On CUSMA, what are the implications to a non-renewal? And how should the government think about the Fall Budget over the summer? To answer those questions we're joined by The Chiefs! Three former Chiefs of Staff to some of Canada's most accomplished heads of government:Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper. Now, Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary, and Senior Advisor at New West Public Affairs.Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin. Now, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategic Affairs Officer at AECON.Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta and Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan. Now, founding partner at GT&co. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Originally aired May 25, 2023, this episode is rebroadcast in memory of Elly Alboim: an uncommon mind and a rare presence. Elly was brilliant, incisive, and deeply generous as a mentor and with his counsel. For anyone lucky enough to work with him, Elly was the person who could see the whole board at once. He was the person you wanted to speak last in a meeting because his opinion simply mattered most. This episode captures that gift in full for our audience. Elly died at the age of 78. ***The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, Bruce Power, and AltaGas.***ORIGINAL POD DESCRIPTION: We're bringing together 2 people —  “The Interns” — who mean a helluva lot to me in both a professional and personal sense. As mentors, colleagues, advisors and friends.Elly Alboim and Bill Fox are here!Both Elly and Bill are now 2-time Herle Burly guests. An honorific I'm assuming will go right to the top of their CVs. But listen up to their bona fides: Elly was a journalist for the CBC for almost a quarter century, before becoming Parliamentary Bureau Chief for TV news and National Political Editor. He was a senior advisor to Paul Martin as well as Kathleen Wynne. Today he's an Associate Professor of Journalism at Carleton and a Principal at Earnscliffe Strategies. And he wrote a fantastic piece on today's topic, called “Eliminating the CBC”, which you can check out at Air Quotes Media. Bill began as working journalist and became Ottawa and Washington bureau chief for The Toronto Star. He then turned his eye toward politics as Director of Communications for Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Today, he's got about 18 academic degrees from small shops like Harvard and Carleton, and he's a leading analyst of media and communication. His latest book is “Trump, Trudeau, Tweets, Truth: A Conversation” which is a fantastic read.We're going dive into a topic that's become quite the political battleground over the last little while: The role and importance of CBC news … How the news division is performing … the case for dismantling … other legitimate journalistic alternatives … but first, media coverage of China election interference.

One of the ways she makes a difference is by helping clarinetists find their voice on the right instrument. She says the most amazing thing about learning to play a wind instrument is that it teaches you how to express your emotions. Her goal is to help musicians express themselves and make a big difference sharing their musical gifts and their creative passions through the clarinet with others. Music Matters. There is no better way to learn how to express yourself than through a musical instrument. Especially a wind instrument. Support the showPodcast edited by Paul Martin.Theme song courtesy of M&R Rush.www.rocknrollchicagopodcast.com

You may have stocked your shelves and assembled your gear, but have you honestly assessed where you stand as a prepper heading into 2026? In this candid conversation, Todd sits down with longtime preparedness thought leader Paul Martin to confront an uncomfortable truth facing the preparedness community: too many preppers have grown complacent, mistakenly believing that political outcomes or the absence of recent catastrophe somehow insulate them from what's coming. The data tells a different story, and both Todd and Paul have watched this pattern repeat across election cycles and quiet years alike. If your commitment to preparedness rises and falls with headlines or who occupies the White House, this episode delivers the reality check you need. Paul and Todd examine the current landscape of prepping in 2026, exploring why serious preppers must shift their focus from predicting the next big event to building genuine resilience that transcends any single scenario. They discuss what separates those who are truly prepared from the "throw it in the closet just in case" crowd, why community has become the missing link in most preparedness plans, and how the preparedness community can move beyond consuming content to taking meaningful action. From evaluating your actual inventory to building networks within walking distance of your home, this conversation offers the strategic perspective that seasoned preppers and newcomers alike need to hear. Whether you've been preparing for decades or are just recognizing that self-reliance is non-negotiable, this episode challenges you to move beyond passive accumulation toward purposeful readiness. The fundamentals discussed here are universal, applicable whether the disruption comes from natural disaster, economic instability, or geopolitical conflict. The time to assess your gaps, test your systems, and build your local network is now, while supplies are available and you have the luxury of thoughtful preparation rather than panicked reaction.

SHOW 11-28-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1963   The Genius of Early Photography: Nadar, Daguerre, and Dangerous Chemistry — Anika Burgess — Burgess details the risky and adventurous origins of photography as a practical medium. She examines Nadar, a visionary figure who deployed a giant balloon named Léon to fund experiments in heavier-than-air flight, having previously conducted innovative photographic expeditions into Paris's catacombs. Burgess also recounts Daguerre's 1839 presentation of the daguerreotype—a remarkably realistic, singular image created using hazardous chemicals including iodine and mercury, which posed significant occupational and health risks to early practitioners. Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgessexplores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. Photography and Social Justice: Riis, Watkins, and the Question of Truth — Anika Burgess — Burgessdemonstrates how photography became a transformative tool for social advocacy and reform. Jacob Riis, a newspaper journalist documenting Manhattan's tenement poverty, employed flash powder ignited in cast-iron frying pans to photograph the grim, overcrowded interior conditions of slums for his landmark book How the Other Half Lives, frequently without obtaining subject consent. Burgess also discusses Carleton Watkins, who transported over 2,000 pounds of large-format photographic equipment to Yosemite Valley, producing images that proved instrumental in securing federal preservation and protection of the landscape. From X-Rays to Motion Pictures: Expanding the Photographic Medium — Anika Burgess — Burgess traces the expansion of photographic technology beyond conventional image capture. She examines Alice Austin'sintimate and playful photographs documenting her social circle with candid authenticity. The discovery of X-raysby Wilhelm Röntgen was rapidly branded as "the new photography" or "shadow photography," adopted swiftly for both entertainment and medical diagnostic applications despite practitioners possessing no understanding of severe radiation hazards. Burgess concludes with Paul Martin's candid street photography using concealed cameras hidden within top hats and Eadweard Muybridge's sequential motion studies, which directly enabled the invention of motion pictures. Angelica Schuyler: Albany, Elopement, and the Start of the Revolution — Molly Beer — Beer discusses her book Angelica, focusing on Angelica Schuyler Church, daughter of General Philip Schuyler. Her mother, Katherine, oversaw construction of their Albany residence, The Pastures, a substantial estate reflecting family prominence. Angelica received a rigorous education consistent with Dutch cultural traditions emphasizing women's financial and business literacy for family management. In 1777, during Burgoyne's invasion of New York, Angelica profoundly disappointed her mother by eloping with John Carter, an Englishman she found intellectually engaging and cosmopolitan. Angelica and the Founders: The Revolution and the Hamilton Connection — Molly Beer — Beer examines Angelica's pivotal role during the American Revolution, including her service alongside Rochambeau's army, traveling to Yorktown shortly after delivering her third child. Her sister Elizabeth ("Betsy") married Alexander Hamilton, who deliberately married into the prominent Schuyler family to elevate his social standing and political prospects. Following the war, Angelica's eldest son, Philip, founded the town of Angelica in western New York, the community where Beer herself was subsequently raised. Angelica in Europe: John Church, London Society, and Diplomacy — Molly Beer — Following ratification of the peace treaty, Angelica and her husband sailed to Paris to collect outstanding payments owed by the Frenchgovernment. John Carter leveraged the wartime amnesty to settle accumulated debts, reconcile with his estranged family, and legally adopt the name John Barker Church. Angelica relocated to London's elegant Mayfairneighborhood, where she established herself as a prominent American patriot. She strategically positioned herself at the intersection of cultural and diplomatic negotiations, entertaining influential figures including Lafayette and the Adamses, while exerting subtle influence over American diplomatic representatives toward negotiated peace. Angelica's Later Life: Return, Tragedy, and Founding Angelica, NY — Molly Beer — Angelica visited the United States for President Washington's 1789 inauguration but quickly returned to London, disappointed that the nascent republic fell short o Woke Capitalism: Origins, ESG, DEI, and the Power of BlackRock — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinotraces the origins of "woke capitalism," detailing how corporate America shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. L The Flashpoints of Woke Capitalism: Occupy Wall Street and the SEC — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoidentifies the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing progressive populist backlash, including the Occupy Wall Streetencampment at Zuccotti Park, as pivotal flashpoints accelerating corporate woke adoption.... Disney and ESPN: Running a Blue Company in a Red State — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino analyzes the radicalization of the Walt Disney Company, noting that CEO Bob Iger brought progressive cultural affinities while the company.... Go Woke, Go Broke: The Financial Backlash and Corporate Retreat — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoreports that woke capitalism is experiencing significant financial retrenchment as corporations suffer bottom-line consequences... Freedom's Forge: FDR, WWII Mobilization, and Bill Knudsen — Arthur Herman — Herman discusses his book Freedom's Forge, detailing the extraordinary challenge FDR confronted in May 1940 to prepare America for modern industrial warfare. The preeminent industrialist summoned for this task was Bill Knudsen, CEO of General Motors. Knudsen, a Danish immigrant and former Ford executive, possessed unparalleled expertise in flexible mass production—the capacity to modify production line processes continuously while maintaining output. Knudsen applied these revolutionary manufacturing techniques to transform the American automobile industry into an "Arsenal of Democracy," producing critical war materiel including military trucks and armored tanks. Henry Kaiser: The Builder of Liberty Ships — Arthur Herman — Herman profiles Henry Kaiser, the second transformative figure in Freedom's Forge. Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints. In late 1940, Kaiser persuaded both Britishand American governments to contract him to construct "throwaway freighters"—Liberty ships—despite possessing no prior shipbuilding experience. Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. The B-29 Superfortress and the Battle of Omaha — Arthur Herman — Herman recounts the genesis of the B-29 Superfortress bomber, conceived after General Hap Arnold consulted with Charles Lindbergh in 1939. The B-29 represented the ultimate expression of air supremacy doctrine, demanding revolutionary technologies including pressurized crew cabins and remote-controlled gun turrets that did not yet exist. Bill Knudsen directed the program, overcoming severe delays and persistent technical deficiencies. Knudsen won the "Battle of Omaha" by insisting that aircraft be extensively modified after assembly to achieve operational flight status, thereby integrating a massive female industrial workforce into B-29 production processes. Lessons from WWII: Unleashing Private Enterprise — Arthur Herman — Herman explores the strategic tension during WWII between New Deal administrators favoring centralized government command and industrialists prioritizing private sector innovation and operational flexibility. FDR and Knudsen learned from the disastrous centralized economic control failures of WWI, choosing instead to permit American private enterprise to "determine production methodologies and develop solutions for urgent national requirements." The fundamental secret to Allied victory was unleashing private sector dynamism, entrepreneurial expertise, and competitive energy. Herman draws contemporary parallels, arguing that modern defense strategy must replicate this model, contrasting bureaucratic NASA operations with innovative private enterprises including SpaceX.

She examines Alice Austin's intimate and playful photographs documenting her social circle with candid authenticity. The discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Röntgen was rapidly branded as "the new photography" or "shadow photography," adopted swiftly for both entertainment and medical diagnostic applications despite practitioners possessing no understanding of severe radiation hazards.
