Samuel Plimsoll was an advocate for better working conditions for sailors, and for a lot of other things. A lot of contemporary accounts refer to him as an agitator.

From 08/05 Hour 1: The Nationals' playoff hopes are slowly starting to fall apart. It was a double-edged sword last night after they lost to Philadelphia 5-0, and then lost James Wood to IL due to an oblique strain. Do you still have faith that Washington will make a playoff push?

It started with two dog bowls. On the morning of October 15, 2011, in Philadelphia's quiet Tacony neighborhood, 71-year-old landlord Turgut Gozleveli descended into the basement of the brick building he helped maintain. But that morning, something felt wrong. The basement was darker than usual. Several lightbulbs had been unscrewed, leaving the room in near darkness.   Two stainless steel dog dishes sat side by side beneath a small table. Pets weren't allowed in the building. He asked the tenants if anyone was feeding a dog. Everyone said no. Two days later, the bowls were still there. Uneasy, Gozleveli grabbed a flashlight and returned to the basement. He made his way to the building's long-abandoned furnace room. The door was wrapped in a chain. He unlooped it and pulled the door open. The smell hit him first.  His flashlight revealed a dirt floor littered with scraps of food, filthy blankets, and a bucket overflowing with human waste, and then something moved beneath one of the quilts. When Gozleveli lifted the blanket, he recoiled. A man and a woman lay curled together, gaunt and wide-eyed. "Get the hell out of here," he shouted, assuming they were squatters. They weren't.

In the first half of 1776, the Patriot cause gained momentum as Thomas Paine's Common Sense inspired thousands, Patriot forces repelled a British assault on Charleston, and the Continental Congress debated the question of independence. In this episode, James and Audrey follow the events that transformed thirteen rebellious colonies into the United States of America. Your hosts also examine the drafting and meaning of the Declaration of Independence. From Sullivan's Island to Philadelphia, this episode explores one of the most consequential periods in American history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul's back — overwhelmed, in Philadelphia, and dealing with Charlie the eight-month-old black golden retriever who has somehow managed to poop both on the couch and out of his crate onto the floor in the same week. Meanwhile I'm freshly returned from a stretch of travel — East Coast, bachelor party, four-ish weeks in Vancouver — carrying a little anxiety and a long to-do list I've made peace with probably never finishing. We got real about that feeling of losing the fire you had when you first started your business, and whether that's a red flag or just what sustainable looks like after you've been doing this long enough. Paul also dropped that he's doing EMDR therapy, had a full panic attack in his first session when the electrode buzzed his surgically repaired shoulder, and somehow still booked the follow-up. Wild.Then we got into the actual reason Paul wanted to do this episode: he's tired of answering questions about electrolytes. Not because it's a bad question — but because most people asking it genuinely do not need them. The marketing from brands like LMNT, Liquid IV, and basically every podcast sponsor on the internet has convinced everyday gym-goers and dog walkers that they're chronically electrolyte-deficient. They're not. Paul is our head of R&D here at These Little Moments, and he came with the research to back it up.We break down what electrolytes actually are — sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, calcium — and what they do in the body. The key one for hydration is sodium, because where sodium goes, water flows. And the people who actually need to supplement with it are endurance athletes, heavy sweaters, people who are sick and losing fluids fast, those on strict keto, folks with certain medical conditions like POTS, and some older adults at risk of dehydration. If you're going to the gym for an hour or walking your dog, you don't need to slam 1000mg of sodium. You probably just need more water.We also talk about the GI side effects of stevia in a lot of electrolyte powders, how to actually tell if you're a salty sweater (lick test, or look for the white salt line on your hat — Paul's running caps are apparently evidence), why Gatorade actually gets unfairly roasted, the proper dosing window for endurance athletes, and — in true These Little Moments fashion — whether squishing a cockroach releases its eggs. Science was done. Verdict reached. You're welcome.⭐ Please leave a 5-star review wherever you listen to this podcast

Major League Soccer has a new commissioner. Jason breaks down Larry Berg's path from LAFC ownership to the top of the league, what it means for the looming roster rule overhaul, and where Don Garber's twenty seven year run fits into it all. Then, Mauricio Pochettino is back for a second cycle with the U.S. men's national team, signed through the 2030 World Cup, and Jason lays out exactly what the expectations should be this time around. What's on Tap brings the four fall fixtures against Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Canada, and the 3-4-3 closes the show with Atlanta United's brutal collapse in Philadelphia, Georgia soccer's historic night coming to Sanford Stadium, and a lot of reasons to smile about where the game is in this country right now.

Big Jay and the city of Philadelphia are both having one hell of a week. Lebron James has joined Jay's beloved 76ers and last week he got to perform at Lincoln Financial Field, the home of his Eagles. Jay was one of a few openers for Shane Gillis and he arrived 5 hours early for a sound check that never happened. A man who Eagles fans know as Big Dom hooked Jay up in a way he's been waiting his whole life for. It was a historic and star studded event which included: Dave Chappelle, Meek Mill, Jason Kelce, and Bam Margera. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging conversation covering politics, media, race, culture, sports, and celebrity discourse. After Mandii previews the episode’s agenda [ 00:38 ], the crew checks in and introduces the producers [ 02:48 ] before examining how social media algorithms and comment sections increasingly determine what information people see, believe, and engage with [ 06:47 ]. A hilarious detour into gut health, relationships, and couples getting way too comfortable with bathroom habits follows [ 10:14 ], before A-King raises concerns about the lack of urgency surrounding the upcoming midterm elections, questioning why political optics and viral conversations often receive more attention than policy, voting, and civic engagement [ 15:32 ]. The crew continues by asking whether the public is truly prepared for the midterms—or simply waiting until election season becomes another trending topic [ 24:02 ]. In “This Is America,” the conversation returns to the Nolan Wells case as the hosts review newly cleaned-up emergency audio prepared by sound engineer Jeanetta Brantley [ 25:34 ]. The recording sparks questions about the use of artificial intelligence and audio enhancement in investigations, with the crew debating when technological tools provide clarity and when skepticism is warranted [ 27:11 ], before examining what they believe can actually be heard in the enhanced clip [ 30:00 ]. The discussion expands to reports of potential defamation litigation [ 31:18 ], the purpose of preservation letters and protecting evidence during legal disputes [ 33:25 ], and concerns raised about missing organs following the autopsy [ 34:24 ]. As media personalities weigh in on the developing story [ 35:19 ], the hosts debate the rise of political grifters, outrage-driven media, and booking controversial personalities simply to manufacture debate [ 37:04 ]. That leads to a nuanced conversation surrounding Candace Owens [ 38:04 ] and Mandii’s own experiences with online controversy and public backlash [ 39:12 ]. The episode then turns to Tuskegee University’s new student etiquette and dress-code policies, including restrictions surrounding bonnets and durags, sparking a passionate debate over professionalism, Black cultural expression, and institutional standards [ 42:57 ]. The crew puts their perspectives to the test with an “Are We Aligned?” vote [ 44:15 ], before unpacking respectability politics and the tension between personal freedom and expectations placed on Black students [ 46:31 ]. They question whether traditional ideas of respectability actually reflect real-world professionalism [ 51:03 ], examine the racial and cultural biases attached to durags and bonnets [ 53:20 ], and debate how much authority HBCUs should have over student appearance and individual expression [ 56:29 ]. The conversation shifts back to activism as the crew discusses allegations that Colin Kaepernick stopped communicating with activist Mysonne, using the situation to examine the realities of organizing, movement-building, celebrity activism, and what happens when public alliances fracture behind the scenes [ 01:03:33 ]. Sports takes over briefly with reactions to LeBron James joining Philadelphia [ 01:15:18 ] and growing excitement surrounding the upcoming NBA season [ 01:19:20 ]. From there, the hosts tackle Michael Porter Jr.’s comments about women who travel, questioning whether frequent travel should really be considered a dating red flag [ 01:21:25 ] and pushing back on the idea that women traveling for experiences automatically signals something negative about their character [01:22:31 ]. Closing out the episode, the crew reacts to Nara Smith rejecting the “tradwife” label following her appearance on Call Her Daddy [ 01:32:04 ], sparking a larger debate about traditional gender roles, influencer branding, public perception, and whether online personalities can distance themselves from identities that helped build their audiences. That conversation evolves into a spirited discussion about grifting, rebranding, authenticity, and the difference between how creators define themselves versus how the public interprets their content [ 01:38:15 ]. The episode concludes with final thoughts and credits [ 01:50:00 ], wrapping another Selective Ignorance conversation that challenges listeners to look beyond viral headlines and consider how politics, algorithms, identity, activism, and internet culture shape what we believe and how we engage with the world around us.

Episode 4197 │ August 4, 2026 Give me twenty-six soldiers of lead and I will conquer the world. Franklin was a printer before he was a statesman. He knew exactly what he meant. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson traces a single date — July 23, 1776 — backward through eighteen days of infrastructure that made it possible: Elbridge Gerry writing from outside Philadelphia to ask a colleague to sign his name to the Declaration on his behalf, trusting a postal system to carry the most consequential commitment of his life; William Bradford's Pennsylvania Journal publishing the phrase no middle way between perfect freedom and abject slavery six days earlier; John Dunlap setting type through the night of July 4th while riders fanned out from Philadelphia carrying broadsides that made each of them a courier of treason if intercepted. The episode walks all the way back to 1773, when printer William Goddard lost his newspaper to a Crown postmaster who simply stopped delivering his mail — and built an entirely parallel postal network in response, town by town, for two years, before Congress adopted it and gave the credit to someone else. Anchored by Vincit qui patitur, the episode closes on the question every generation inherits from Goddard, Bradford, Dunlap, and Mary Katherine Goddard: who is building the Constitutional Post right now, walking town to town, carrying the word, trusting the infrastructure to hold. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  What did Elbridge Gerry's July 21, 1776 letter — asking a colleague to sign his name to the Declaration of Independence in his absence — reveal about the level of trust required in an infrastructure most people never see or think about until the moment they need it most? What happened to printer William Goddard's newspaper when a Crown-appointed postmaster simply stopped delivering his mail in 1773 — and why did his response, building an entirely parallel postal network from scratch, become the very system that carried the Declaration itself three years later? What did Mary Katherine Goddard, John Dunlap, and William Bradford have in common — and why does the episode argue that the infrastructure of truth is always built and carried by people history gives someone else the credit for?

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Springsteen fan Audrey Hunn, a Philly-born travel agent and craft business owner, who recalls discovering Bruce through The River at summer camp and building friendships via the E Street community and her nearly 10,000-member Facebook group, “Calling All Bruce Springsteen Fans.” Audrey estimates she has attended close to 200 shows, praises the latest tour's sound, song choices, and the Morello “Ghost of Tom Joad” performance, and describes pivotal experiences: her first show in Philadelphia the night John Lennon was killed, getting a long-sought jacket autograph at the Sirius “Carousel” Promise event, enduring an overnight wait to be first at a Freehold book signing, hosting Jake Clemons for a living-room show, and dancing with Bruce during “Dancing in the Dark” after 56 days sober. She discusses nine years of sobriety, how Bruce's music helped, and answers that Mary Question. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've got Tim Kurkjian's immediate reactions to one of the wildest trade deadlines in recent memory. The Tarik Skubal news may be a few days old, but it was easily the biggest story of the weekend. Plus, the Red Sox somehow landed Adley Rutschman from their division rival, the Orioles—still hard to believe. We break down all the biggest moves, including the Cubs, Guardians, Rays, and more. Tim joins us from ESPN headquarters in Bristol, squeezing us in between appearances on Baseball Tonight, SportsCenter, and Buster Olney's podcast. The fact that he still finds time for our little show is something we never take for granted. With so much trade deadline buzz, don't forget to go back and check out our conversation with Jim Bowden.

We're running one of our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! With the digital marketing world changing so fast, how can you keep up? Sunny Dublick shares her recommendations for effective marketing and how your company can innovate to stay ahead of the curve. Sunny is an award-winning marketing specialist and founder of Sunny Dublick Marketing. She has spent more than 15 years in the marketing and advertising industry, working with high-profile clients such as the Philadelphia 76ers and HanesBrands, as well as small and medium-sized businesses spanning the hospitality, retail, and professional services industries. After nine years working for various advertising agencies and corporate marketing departments, Sunny set out on her own, forming Sunny Dublick Marketing to provide transparent and effective marketing solutions to businesses nationwide. Her strategies are designed to inspire creativity and enable clients to grow the best, most authentic version of their brand. The Future of AI in Marketing The digital marketing landscape is constantly shifting. Instead of fighting to stay ahead of the curve and keep up with rapidly changing technology, Sunny recommends slowing down. If you decide to incorporate something new, be intentional. Act from a place of purpose instead of fear of the future. At one point, no one knew how to post on Facebook or run Google ads. There were a lot of unknowns — but business owners and marketers figured it out over time. The same will be true for AI and these new technologies. The important part is to stay open and be willing to try new things. If you want to incorporate AI into your marketing, Sunny recommends using it to kickstart ideas rather than write all of your content. It can be helpful for a first draft, so you're not staring at a blank page, but it still needs a human touch. No one wants to read a blog post written entirely by AI. The Importance of Innovation The role of marketing in your organization goes beyond generating new leads. Your marketing team can also problem-solve across departments, inspire new offers, and overcome sales objections. Instead of assuming there's a marketing problem when leads slow down, Sunny recommends starting at the source. Are your offerings still what your customers want? Is there room for innovation and growth? Has the market evolved? Separating marketing from branding, sales, and finance doesn't serve your organization. This is why more and more companies are shifting away from Chief Marketing Officers to Chief Growth Officers or Brand Officers, to bridge different functions.

There's always been, for a really long time, a question mark of where things are going. And I think the worst thing that you can do, from a marketing perspective, is just running after that shiny object and being like, I have to do this too, right?" 23:07–23:30 "Oftentimes companies will work with a marketing company and they'll have a fancy new logo, some pretty pictures on a website, and they're like, cool, we're done, right? That's what I call lipstick-on-a-pig marketing. You made it pretty. But at the end of the day, your offering is something that can and should change over time." Quotes  "The beautiful thing about marketing, especially digital marketing, is so much of what you need to know is available to be self-taught." "The worst thing that you can do from a marketing perspective is run after that shiny object." "The nature of marketing is one in which you always have to be agile, and you always have to be willing and able to try new things." "Now we can write six posts a day automatically, but just because you can doesn't mean you should." "Marketing can and should be something that bridges a lot of different functions within an organization, and you're only getting a tiny piece of it if you're keeping them pigeon-holed into these are the people that put up my social media posts and run some ads for me."

The criticism surrounding LeBron James joining the Philadelphia 76ers continues to grow, but today we react to why so many of the national talking heads are trying to downplay what has been one of the greatest offseasons in franchise history. Also, Rich Paul makes a surprising claim that this is now Tyrese Maxey's team, and we discuss what that means for LeBron James, Joel Embiid, and the future of the Sixers. In other news, Kevin Durant and Chris Bosh both weigh in on the narrative that LeBron is "ring chasing," and we react to their comments and the ongoing debate. Lastly, we discuss why the Sixers remain one of the favorites to win the NBA championship despite all the outside criticism. Today, we discuss it all!

A brochure anyone can read out loud is not a sales asset, it is a crutch. In this episode of Content Amplified, Jason Gwilliam returns to explain why the conversation closes the deal and content exists to back it up. Jason walks through the "scrub sink story," the 30 seconds outside an operating room where a rep has to land three points and then leave something behind. He explains the difference between a rep who is comfortable and a rep who is ready, why he sends people back out the door if they cannot answer the how, the why, and the what from Simon Sinek's Start with Why, and how the 10,000 hour rule from Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers shows up in sales the same way it shows up in film study and rehearsal. He also gets specific about AI as game film: what he learned running video coaching back in 2018, how to program a tool to measure cadence and filler words, and why coaching only works when weakness is not punished. Listen if your team has plenty of collateral and still loses the room.About JasonJason Gwilliam has spent 21 years in the healthcare and medical device space and has been a sales enablement practitioner and architect since 2008. He has sold for large companies including Philips, Abbott, and Siemens, and he makes the point that real enablement in med tech requires carrying a bag yourself so you understand what the field actually faces. He lives in King of Prussia, outside Philadelphia, and writes a notebook series on LinkedIn built around one idea: selling in 2005 is not the same as selling in 2026.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the upcoming events Clear Admit is hosting. We plan to do a livestream event on Tuesday, September 1, ahead of the Round 1 deadlines. This event is for participants to ask any questions they have for their Round 1 strategy. Graham and Alex will be hosting, as usual. We hope to roll out these livestream events on a monthly schedule. Later in September, Clear Admit will also host several more webinar events featuring admissions professionals from the top MBA programs. Signups for those events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham highlighted a recently published article that focuses on Chicago / Booth's new research center for supply chain and applied technologies. Graham also noted an admissions tip detailing how to identify and prepare recommenders for the MBA admissions process. Clear Admit continues its Adcom Q&A series. This week Graham notes a written and a podcast Q&A from Berkeley / Haas. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a 3.73 GPA and 675 GMAT. They have what appears to be strong work experience and some decent entrepreneurial experience. This week's second MBA applicant is seeking to pivot away from the Oil and Gas sector. They are from Pakistan and have more than 11 years of experience. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open the month of August by reacting to the biggest move of trade deadline day before working through a full Monday baseball card and unveiling their next NFL win total on the Houston Texans. At 00:00 Munaf sets the stage for a busy trade deadline session, and at 01:53 the pair discusses Tarik Skubal moving from the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers, a trade that pushed Los Angeles' World Series odds from roughly plus 175 down to plus 150. At 02:39 they preview the Nationals hosting the Phillies, where Trevor Williams starts opposite Aaron Nola just after Philadelphia added Luis Arraez to play second base, with Dave leaning toward the Nationals team total over three and a half runs given Nola's bloated recent numbers and Munaf backing the same direction with a strong seasonal over trend for Washington. At 06:37 they turn to the Cardinals visiting the Yankees, where Michael McGreevy faces Cam Schlittler, with both hosts leaning toward the under given New York's heavy favorite price and Schlittler's strong road splits. At 09:48 they cover the Pirates at the Brewers, with Bubba Chandler opposing Brandon Sproat, both hosts landing on the Pittsburgh team total over given Sproat's control issues. At 13:13 they preview the Dodgers at the Cubs, Justin Wrobleski against Matthew Boyd, with Dave taking Chicago at plus money and Munaf citing a profitable trend fading teams on the road the day after Sunday night baseball. At 16:30 they break down the Padres at the Diamondbacks, Michael King against Brandon Pfaadt, with Dave siding with Arizona at a cheap price while Munaf prefers San Diego given King's strong history against this opponent. At 20:17 they run through quick hits on the Giants at the Rangers, the Blue Jays at the Astros with Shane Bieber and Cristian Javier, and the Rays at the Rockies with Ian Seymour and Michael Lorenzen, flagging Colorado's hot home scoring trend. At 23:07 the conversation shifts to football, where Munaf and Dave unveil the Houston Texans win total of nine and a half, discussing a defense built around Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, Derek Stingley Jr., Reed Blankenship, and the returning Jadeveon Clowney, along with questions about the offensive line protecting C.J. Stroud and the additions of David Montgomery and Woody Marks in the backfield, ultimately landing on the over. At 31:41 Munaf shares a promo code for Pregame.com, RBI50, good for fifty dollars off the Major League Baseball second half all access package through the World Series. The episode closes at 33:03 with best bets, Dave taking the Washington Nationals team total over three and a half runs and Munaf going with the Rays and Rockies first five innings over six, wrapping a trade deadline day that reshaped several rosters and a season-opening look at one of the league's most anticipated teams heading into the fall.

Alice in Chains is one of the biggest bands from the 90s. But by 1996, they were ghosts.  Over two and a half years had passed since their last real concert. Layne Staley's heroin addiction had derailed the band's touring schedule. Yeah, they dropped their self-titled album in 1996 and it went to number one, but they couldn't go on the road behind it.  The band was out of the spotlight and the rumors about Layne's addiction were deafening.  MTV had chased them Unplugged for years and, in 1996, the finally said yes.  The rehearsals were rough – guys not showing up and old habits refusing to die – but Layne got himself together long enough to step on that stage – with a little dose of H to round off the edges.  On April 10th, they delivered what many – and I – call one of the greatest MTV Unplugged performances ever.  The stage was dark, intimate—candles flickering, lava lamps barely moving. Layne showed up in his trademark wraparound glasses looking thinner than normal.  It wasn't perfect… and that's exactly why it was perfect.  A false start here, a wavering note there, Layne visibly frail but fighting through it. That raw vulnerability made it electric.They reached across their whole career—from early tracks to the new album—with acoustic versions that sometimes enhanced the songs, like the gorgeous ‘No Excuses,' and other times exposed just how dark and brutal the lyrics really were, like ‘Sludge Factory.' When Layne's voice cut through ‘Nutshell' or ‘Down in a Hole,' you felt every word. It was haunting, beautiful, and heartbreaking… one of Layne's final stands with the band.

Amy Weitzman interviews Emily Sneff on her new book When the Declaration of Independence Was News and the graduate school experience. In 1776 people could hear the Declaration of Independence proclaimed in public squares and could read it in the pages of their local newspapers. Stories of the Declaration typically recount the work that took place inside the Continental Congress, focusing on the men tasked with drafting the text. Although Congress declared independence, the work of spreading the news involved printers, post riders, ship captains, civic leaders, soldiers, clerks, orators, preachers, diplomats, and translators. When the Declaration of Independence Was News reveals the stories behind how the Declaration was communicated in the United States and around the Atlantic. Tracing the travels of the founding document of the United States from Philadelphia to New York, Boston, Charleston, London, Leiden, Paris, and beyond, Emily Sneff shows how people both celebrated the Declaration and critiqued it. In the weeks after the document was penned, it was printed in the columns of newspapers, translated into German and French, and shared with Native American allies. The document induced some people to make public their privately held beliefs about whether they wanted the United States to be independent or to reconcile with King George III. The Declaration was met with unique circumstances everywhere it went, and people modified the text along the way. The questions of who experienced the news of independence, when, and how reveal an expansive and complex history of a critical moment in the American Revolution. Published for the 250th anniversary of American independence, When the Declaration of Independence Was News returns to a time before the legacy of these words and the outcome of the war against Great Britain were known to reconsider what the founding of the United States meant to the people who were living through it.

Yeah, they dropped their self-titled album in 1996 and it went to number one, but they couldn't go on the road behind it.  The band was out of the spotlight and the rumors about Layne's addiction were deafening.  MTV had chased them Unplugged for years and, in 1996, the finally said yes.  The rehearsals were rough – guys not showing up and old habits refusing to die – but Layne got himself together long enough to step on that stage – with a little dose of H to round off the edges.  On April 10th, they delivered what many – and I – call one of the greatest MTV Unplugged performances ever.  The stage was dark, intimate—candles flickering, lava lamps barely moving. Layne showed up in his trademark wraparound glasses looking thinner than normal.  It wasn't perfect… and that's exactly why it was perfect.  A false start here, a wavering note there, Layne visibly frail but fighting through it. That raw vulnerability made it electric.They reached across their whole career—from early tracks to the new album—with acoustic versions that sometimes enhanced the songs, like the gorgeous ‘No Excuses,' and other times exposed just how dark and brutal the lyrics really were, like ‘Sludge Factory.' When Layne's voice cut through ‘Nutshell' or ‘Down in a Hole,' you felt every word. It was haunting, beautiful, and heartbreaking… one of Layne's final stands with the band.

The Dawn Stensland Show opens with flash-flood warnings across the Philadelphia region, a rough ride on I-76, and Dawn refusing to brush off dangerous road conditions. We also react to a Phillies trade that could move Trea Turner to the outfield, the return of Eagles training camp, fresh manufacturing numbers, and President Trump saying talks with Iran are back on as a possible strike is put on hold. Dawn backs Judge Jeanine Pirro after she drops the felony case against former Olympian David Hearn, arguing that new police reports leave prosecutors without enough proof in the Reflecting Pool case. Frank Scales and Ian McGuinness of Surge Philly then bring video from the ICE detention center at Delaney Hall, where anti-border protesters create a human wall to keep them out of an encampment on public property. The crew also reacts to Cornell student Austin Franco rejecting a paid internship at what he calls a Jewish-run firm, while Frank and Ian warn that anti-Jewish rhetoric is spreading among young men through social feeds. Dr. Yair Lev joins Dawn to make the case for Pencils Over Pixels and a parent opt-out from school-issued screens in Lower Merion classrooms. He says parents, pediatricians, physicians, and tech experts want more teacher-led instruction, books, pencils, and face-to-face learning, but the district refuses to give families a real choice. Dawn puts parental rights at the center of the school fight while also tracking the regional search for an armed Walmart shooting suspect and a Pennsylvania murder suspect caught before boarding an international flight.

Russell Shorto, author of Smalltime: A Story of My Family and the Mob, provides a historical and personal exploration of organized crime in the small industrial town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, framing the American Mafia as a "mirror of American capitalism." The story traces the family's roots back to Sicily, where the author's great-grandfather, Antonino Scioto (later Tony Shorto), emigrated to work in coal mines before his mysterious murder in Italy in 1920. This tragedy forced his son, Rosario "Russell" Shorto, to become the family's provider at age six, eventually finding his way into the world of bootlegging and gambling during Prohibition. Russell developed specialized skills as a card and dice cheat, finding a mentor in a neighborhood "Black Hand" leader. In the late 1930s, Shorto partnered with Joe Regino, a mobster sent from Philadelphia to establish a local franchise. Their base of operations, City Cigar, became a central hub for a gambling empire that included the numbers racket, pinball, and card games, all protected by a sophisticated system of bribing local police and politicians. Shorto emphasizes the social context of ethnic prejudice, noting that many Italianimmigrants turned to the "underworld" because legitimate economic paths were often closed to them. The book also examines the internal family toll of this lifestyle—secrets, alcoholism, and the strain of living multiple lives—as the author and his father attempt to reconstruct the history of a man who never "broke cover." The empire eventually crumbled under the pressure of federal investigations led by Bobby Kennedy and local fallout from the unsolved 1960 murder of bookie Pippy diFalco. (2)1899 CAMBRIA COUNTY, PA
