In this episode, James and Audrey examine the Philadelphia Campaign of 1777–78, as British General William Howe captured the American capital but failed to destroy George Washington's army. We follow the campaign through the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown, White Marsh, and Monmouth, while also exploring the dramatic defense of Forts Mifflin and Mercer and the Marquis de Lafayette's daring escape at Barren Hill. Along the way, we discuss the hardships of Valley Forge, the Conway Cabal's failed attempt to undermine Washington, and Baron von Steuben's transformation of the Continental Army into a more disciplined fighting force. Although the British won most of the campaign's major battles, they ultimately abandoned Philadelphia, marking the beginning of a strategic stalemate in the North and a shift in British attention toward the southern colonies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the pay gap is not just something happening to women out there in the abstract - but something happening to you, right now, in the salary band your company set before you even walked in the door? Meghan Pierce has the data. Philadelphia women are more educated than their male counterparts. They are in the workforce in strong numbers. And in some industries, they are earning less than they were before. The headline number looks like progress. The real numbers, broken down by race, by industry, by education level, tell a different story. This episode is about both: what the data actually says and what you can do about it today.SUMMARY & GUEST INTROIf you have ever wondered whether the pay gap is actually real, or whether it applies to someone as educated and accomplished as you, Meghan Pierce has been waiting to answer that question. She is the first-ever President and CEO of the Forum of Executive Women, a Philadelphia-based organization with more than 600 senior women leaders that has been doing this work since 1977. She came to the role from the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, before that from policy work at New York City Hall and some of the country's most respected law firms. Every year, the Forum publishes two reports that are the only Philadelphia-specific research of their kind: the Women in Leadership Report, tracking female representation in the C-suite and boardroom, and the Pay Equity Report, which examines the gender pay gap by industry, education level, and race. This is not headline data. These are the numbers most people never see - and Meghan is here to make sure you cannot look away.INSIDE THE EPISODEThe Pay Gap Is Getting Worse - and Not for Who You Think. The overall gap is slowly closing for white women. But for women of color, it is widening. And in specific industries across Philadelphia - and nationally - it is moving in the wrong direction entirely. Meghan breaks down what the data actually shows and why the headline number is not the number you should be looking at.More Degrees. Less Pay. Women are taking on more student debt to get higher degrees and not seeing it translate into higher income. The education fix is not fixing the pay gap. Meghan explains why - and what actually does.What Erica Saw From Inside HR. As a Chief People Officer, Erica had access to the pay data most employees never see. She shares what she actually found - the RIF lists where every name was a woman, the salary band game, the moment she realized that 'that girl only asked for 80K, let's offer 75' was happening in real time - and what it taught her about how the gap gets built in from day one.The Sponsor vs. the Mentor. A mentor gives you advice. A sponsor says your name in rooms when you are not there. Meghan breaks down the difference, why having a sponsor is one of the most powerful things you can do to close your own pay gap, and what it actually takes to get one (hint: it is not asking for one).Women Are Afraid to Use AI at Work. And They're Not Wrong. Meghan's Forum has been tracking this: women are afraid to use AI at work for fear of getting in trouble. Erica confirms the data backs them up - men are more encouraged to experiment, women are judged more harshly when they do. And if the skills gap that creates compounds over time, the AI gap and the pay gap become the same gap.Nine Women CEOs Out of 100. That was the most Philadelphia had ever had in a single year. Not double digits. Nine. Meghan explains the structural, social, and policy barriers that keep women out of the top jobs - paid family leave, caretaking responsibilities, and the boards that keep picking people who look like the people who picked them.You Have Everything You Need Right Now. Meghan's advice to her younger self. Erica's response: what is meant for you will not miss you, girl. The close of this episode is the thing women need to hear when imposter syndrome is loudest.RESOURCES & LINKSForum of Executive Women: https://www.foew.com/Pay Equity Report: https://www.foew.com/pay-equity-reportWomen in Leadership Report: https://www.foew.com/women-in-leadershipMeghan Pierce on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghanpierce/Philadelphia Citizen Article - Philadelphia Women, Still Underpaid: https://thephiladelphiacitizen.org/guest-commentary-philadelphia-women-pay-equity/ ERICA'S RESOURCES & LINKSStart small with me inside HER Jumpstart:https://her-collective.mn.co/plans/1985289?bundle_token=60b2c61d62213cdbd16d437cdc0e4204&utm_source=manual

On this episode of the STL Bucket List Show, we sit down with Marie-Hélène Bernard, the President and CEO behind the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra — the second-oldest orchestra in the country, now settling into a fully rebuilt home at Powell Hall and its 147th season.Marie-Hélène arrived in Saint Louis in 2015 by way of Montreal, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Cleveland, drawn by an arts scene she says rivals anything on the East Coast — and walked in with a plan already in mind: preserve Powell Hall and rebuild it into the Symphony's future home, an eleven-year, privately funded undertaking that reshaped an entire block of Grand Center. She arrived just after the killing of Michael Brown, choosing to lean into Saint Louis's hardest conversations rather than avoid them, and that same community-first instinct now shows up in 130-plus local partnerships, the IN UNISON chorus's three-decade collaboration with Black churches, and an education philosophy she sums up as a cycle of life — the three-year-old in a classroom today becomes the 24-year-old on a first date at the Symphony, then the subscriber, then the board member. It's working: forty percent of last season's audience was brand new.It's a conversation about legacy, risk-taking, and building an orchestra — and a neighborhood — that grows its own future one generation at a time.They discuss: - Moving to Saint Louis from Boston in 2015 and rebuilding Powell Hall over eleven years - Leading the Symphony through the aftermath of Michael Brown's death - Growing 130+ community partnerships, including the IN UNISON chorus's work with Black churches - Building a pre-K-through-college education pipeline for future audiences and board members - Explaining why 40% of last season's audience was brand new

On this episode, Kwani Lunis rejoins Sherrod Blakely and Gary Washburn to discuss the latest news surrounding the Celtics. They first shout out Tacko Fall signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the 76ers and whether he could land a spot on the roster. Then, the Big 3 talk all things Jaylen Brown following his 741 Frequency Fest, where he bid farewell to Boston and Celtics fans. Gary was on the ground during the fan fest and described the atmosphere among the fans.

What if the pay gap is not just something happening to women out there in the abstract - but something happening to you, right now, in the salary band your company set before you even walked in the door? Meghan Pierce has the data. Philadelphia women are more educated than their male counterparts. They are in the workforce in strong numbers. And in some industries, they are earning less than they were before. The headline number looks like progress. The real numbers, broken down by race, by industry, by education level, tell a different story. This episode is about both: what the data actually says and what you can do about it today.SUMMARY & GUEST INTROIf you have ever wondered whether the pay gap is actually real, or whether it applies to someone as educated and accomplished as you, Meghan Pierce has been waiting to answer that question. She is the first-ever President and CEO of the Forum of Executive Women, a Philadelphia-based organization with more than 600 senior women leaders that has been doing this work since 1977. She came to the role from the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, before that from policy work at New York City Hall and some of the country's most respected law firms. Every year, the Forum publishes two reports that are the only Philadelphia-specific research of their kind: the Women in Leadership Report, tracking female representation in the C-suite and boardroom, and the Pay Equity Report, which examines the gender pay gap by industry, education level, and race. This is not headline data. These are the numbers most people never see - and Meghan is here to make sure you cannot look away.INSIDE THE EPISODEThe Pay Gap Is Getting Worse - and Not for Who You Think. The overall gap is slowly closing for white women. But for women of color, it is widening. And in specific industries across Philadelphia - and nationally - it is moving in the wrong direction entirely. Meghan breaks down what the data actually shows and why the headline number is not the number you should be looking at.More Degrees. Less Pay. Women are taking on more student debt to get higher degrees and not seeing it translate into higher income. The education fix is not fixing the pay gap. Meghan explains why - and what actually does.What Erica Saw From Inside HR. As a Chief People Officer, Erica had access to the pay data most employees never see. She shares what she actually found - the RIF lists where every name was a woman, the salary band game, the moment she realized that 'that girl only asked for 80K, let's offer 75' was happening in real time - and what it taught her about how the gap gets built in from day one.The Sponsor vs. the Mentor. A mentor gives you advice. A sponsor says your name in rooms when you are not there. Meghan breaks down the difference, why having a sponsor is one of the most powerful things you can do to close your own pay gap, and what it actually takes to get one (hint: it is not asking for one).Women Are Afraid to Use AI at Work. And They're Not Wrong. Meghan's Forum has been tracking this: women are afraid to use AI at work for fear of getting in trouble. Erica confirms the data backs them up - men are more encouraged to experiment, women are judged more harshly when they do. And if the skills gap that creates compounds over time, the AI gap and the pay gap become the same gap.Nine Women CEOs Out of 100. That was the most Philadelphia had ever had in a single year. Not double digits. Nine. Meghan explains the structural, social, and policy barriers that keep women out of the top jobs - paid family leave, caretaking responsibilities, and the boards that keep picking people who look like the people who picked them.You Have Everything You Need Right Now. Meghan's advice to her younger self. Erica's response: what is meant for you will not miss you, girl. The close of this episode is the thing women need to hear when imposter syndrome is loudest.RESOURCES & LINKSForum of Executive Women: https://www.foew.com/Pay Equity Report: https://www.foew.com/pay-equity-reportWomen in Leadership Report: https://www.foew.com/women-in-leadershipMeghan Pierce on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghanpierce/Philadelphia Citizen Article - Philadelphia Women, Still Underpaid: https://thephiladelphiacitizen.org/guest-commentary-philadelphia-women-pay-equity/ ERICA'S RESOURCES & LINKSStart small with me inside HER Jumpstart:https://her-collective.mn.co/plans/1985289?bundle_token=60b2c61d62213cdbd16d437cdc0e4204&utm_source=manual

Philadelphia has opened a $60 million cruise terminal on the Delaware River, backed by a berthing agreement that keeps Norwegian Cruise Line sailing from the region through March 2033 with a minimum of 41 departures a year. Carnival Cruise Line opened sales on 144 Long Beach departures for 2028-29, with Carnival Radiance and Carnival Panorama running three- to eight-day Baja California and Mexican Riviera itineraries from May 2028 through April 2029. And Holland America Line added Nootka Sound to select 2028 Alaska sailings, part of a six-ship season built around its Great Alaska Explorer and Great Bear Rainforest routes. Today's episode looks at how cruise lines are reshaping North American departures and itineraries, from new homeports to expanded West Coast and Alaska options.

The cut opens on Jalen Hurts at No. 97 and immediately tests what the ESPN projection says about the Eagles' 2026 offense. Sileo reacts to ESPN projecting Jalen Hurts as the NFL's No. 97 player, then connects the ranking to Philadelphia's quarterback room, under-center transition, organizational control and the development gap between the offense and defense.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sileo opens by calling Hurts' statement that the offenses were not built for him a revelation about how Philadelphia operates. Sileo treats Hurts' GQ comments as a revelation about the Eagles' power structure, then credits the quarterback's adaptability while examining coordinator churn, offensive control, leadership, A.J. Brown and Philadelphia's inability to develop skill talent.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Zander immediately separates the value of Hurts' interview from what must still be proven on the field. Zander Krause gives a grounded read on Hurts' GQ interview, the Eagles' organizational structure, the backup-quarterback room, offensive investment, A.J. Brown's exit, leadership and why Philadelphia cannot abandon the Sean Mannion experiment.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

NFL Preseason Week 3 is in the books, and Chris Welsh, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Scott Bogman break down the biggest news and fantasy football takeaways from the final preseason action.

The guys also react to Aaron Donald coming out of retirement and joining a loaded Rams defense, Zach Charbonnet landing on PUP, and the Cowboys' surprising decision to move on from Joe Milton. Plus, they share their biggest preseason takeaways, including why Justin Herbert could be unleashed in Mike McDaniel's Chargers offense and why Mekhi Lemon is becoming an intriguing name to watch in Philadelphia.

Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary. Fifty states. Fifty crimes. Two hundred and fifty years of Americanhistory, told through the true crime cases that other shows leave behind.New Mexico, 1892. A former sheriff walks into the dark with a man he trusts and never comes home. Illinois, 1871.A former Secretary of State steps off his porch for a midnight train and is shot dead in the street. Both menserved their communities. Both were killed for it. Both were largely forgotten — until now. This is historical truecrime, and tonight both cases are about what happens when political power turns lethal.Case A: Francisco Chavez and the Santa Fe RingFrancisco Chavez was born around 1851 in New Mexico Territory, the son of a family that had shaped this regionfor generations before the American flag flew over Santa Fe's plaza. He was Hispanic, a nuevomexicano, and hebecame sheriff of Santa Fe County at a time when the territory's government had been captured by the Santa FeRing — an informal network of Anglo-American lawyers, politicians, and land speculators who exploited Spanishand Mexican land grants to strip Hispanic families of land they had occupied for generations.At the center of the Ring stood Thomas Catron, a Confederate veteran and Missouri lawyer who arrived in NewMexico in 1866. By the 1890s, Catron had acquired interests in thirty-four land grants totaling approximatelythree million acres — making him, by most accounts, the largest private landowner in the United States. He hadserved as district attorney, territorial attorney general, and U.S. attorney. He owned the territory as surely asanyone could.Chavez stood against him. Historian Tobias Duran, writing in the New Mexico Historical Review, called Chavez aformidable foe of the Santa Fe Ring. He was the rare Hispanic Democrat using the blunt authority of the sheriff'soffice to push back against the most powerful men in the territory.On the night of May 29, 1892, Chavez was lured from a Santa Fe bar by a man named Atilano Gold — someonehe trusted. Gold walked him toward the Guadalupe bridge, near the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,the oldest shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the United States. Armed men waited behind a telegraph pole.Chavez was shot multiple times. His last words, spoken in Spanish, were that brutes had assassinated him.Four men were indicted: Francisco Gonzales y Borrego, his brother Antonio, Laureano Alarid, and PatricioValencia. Their defense attorney was Thomas Catron — the man widely suspected of ordering the murder,now defending the accused killers. The prosecution's key witness, Juan Gallegos, testified that a $700 paymenthad been offered through intermediaries for Chavez's death. Judge Seeds ruled that he did not believe Catronpersonally made the offer, but accepted the conspiracy existed. That distinction shielded Catron from criminalliability.All four defendants were convicted and sentenced to death. Appeals dragged on for nearly five years. On April2, 1897, they were hanged simultaneously at the Santa Fe jail grounds. Forty-five National Guard soldiers werepresent. At 9:09 AM, the trap bolt was drawn. Three necks broke on impact. Patricio Valencia strangled for threeto four minutes before he died.Thomas Catron was never charged. When New Mexico achieved statehood in 1912, the territory he had helpedplunder elected him as one of its first two United States Senators. He died in 1921. A former senator. Nevercharged. Never tried.Case B: Sharon Tyndale and the Seal That Outlasted HimSharon Tyndale was born in Philadelphia on January 19, 1816. He arrived in Belleville, Illinois in 1833 — the sameyear Chicago was incorporated as a town — and spent the next three decades building railroads and building acareer. Abraham Lincoln personally appointed him Postmaster of Belleville in 1861. When Lincoln was assassinatedin 1865, Tyndale was among the committee members who received the president's coffin in Springfield. He wasone of the original fifteen members of the National Lincoln Monument Association, the group that built Lincoln'stomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.In 1865, Tyndale was elected Illinois Secretary of State. His younger brother Hector had bled for the Union atAntietam, was promoted to brigadier general, and was later breveted major general for gallantry. The family'sloyalty to the Union was bone-deep.In 1867, the Illinois legislature authorized a new state seal. Tyndale proposed reversing the state motto from "StateSovereignty, National Union" to "National Union, State Sovereignty." The Civil War had settled that question withblood. The Senate rejected his proposal. So the legislature gave him the wording and handed him the design.Tyndale kept the words in their mandated order. But he designed the banner in the eagle's beak to twist, placingthe word "Sovereignty" upside down. The seal entered use in 1868. More than a hundred and fifty years later, theword "Sovereignty" still hangs inverted on the Great Seal of the State of Illinois.On April 29, 1871, two years after leaving office, Tyndale walked out of his home on Adams Street in Springfieldjust after one in the morning, heading to the Chicago & Alton railroad station for a 1:50 AM train. On the darkstreet, steps from his own front door, someone clubbed him to the ground and shot him behind the right ear witha single-shot Derringer — the same type of weapon used to kill Abraham Lincoln six years earlier. His $50 walletwas taken. His gold watch was not. His killer was never identified.A five-thousand-dollar reward went unclaimed. Four theories competed — robbery, romantic entanglement,political enemies, railroad business dispute — and the competition destroyed the investigation. The 1929 IllinoisState Journal concluded the welter of possible motives had hindered the case. No arrest was ever made.The seal lives on. Every official document issued by the State of Illinois, every state flag that flies over Springfield,still carries the handiwork of a man who was murdered two years after completing it.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
