In 1976, nine French wine judges did the unthinkable: they blindly selected two California wines over France's most elite vintages in what became known as the Judgment of Paris. This shocking upset sent shockwaves through the wine world and forever changed the global industry. French wine had dominated for centuries, built on a rigid classification system and prestigious terroir, but California winemakers like Warren Winiarski of Stag's Leap and Mike Grgich of Chateau Montelena proved that world-class wines could be produced anywhere with the right combination of climate, soil, and expertise. The tasting was organized by British expat Steven Spurrier, who ran a Paris wine shop and saw the American Bicentennial as a perfect marketing opportunity—but neither he nor the lone reporter in attendance, George Taber of Time magazine, expected California to actually win. Today's guest is Kevin Ferguson, author and grandson of legendary winemaker Mario Gemello, who ran the Gemello Winery in Mountain View, California for nearly half a century. Ferguson shares the immigrant roots of California's wine industry, including how a $190 loan from the Beltramo family allowed his great-grandfather to bring his family from Piedmont, Italy to America. He discusses the legacy of working-class winemakers like his grandfather, whose 1970 Cabernet finished first in the 25th anniversary re-enactment of the Judgment of Paris, and explores how wineries like Ridge—founded by retired SRI engineers—brought scientific precision to the Santa Cruz Mountains. As we approach the 50th anniversary events in 2026, Ferguson reveals how this single tasting transformed California from an upstart curiosity into a world-class wine region that continues to rival the best of France.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Time travel exists—and it comes in a bottle. In this solo deep dive, we're exploring everything you need to know about older wines, from what actually happens as wine ages to how to find, store, and serve bottles with serious age on them. Drawing from years of working with Press Restaurant's legendary cellar—one of the largest collections of Napa Valley wines dating back to the 1950s—we break down which wines are worth cellaring, what "good funk" really means, and why you don't need a million-dollar cellar to enjoy the magic of aged wine. Whether you're curious about that 2015 Rioja in your glass or wondering if your closet can double as wine storage, this episode answers your most-asked questions about drinking through time. Spoiler: sediment is your friend, and no, you don't have to finish the bottle in one sitting.

“Right now, I still use the same methods, the type of grapes, as my great-grandparents. The only thing that has changed is that now I am responsible for the Aceto Balsamico and my father has always trusted me to carry on in this tradition. Because for us, the balsamic vinegar is your family history in a bottle.”We're in great company with Mattia Montanari, the dedicated and determined founder and CEO of Opera|02, a certified organic winery, traditional vinegar cellar, and tastefully designed resort woven into the rolling hills of Modena's vineyard landscape—where 3 generations of balsamic vinegar mastery meet contemporary hospitality, inviting guests to reconnect with the craft, culture, and terroir of Emilia-Romagna.Mattia shares how growing up sneaking tastes of balsamic juice and getting his hands dirty in the family harvest shaped his vision to create an immersive experience where travelers could taste, sleep, and live inside his family's legacy. In this episode, Mattia reveals that true innovation happens not by abandoning tradition, but by creating new ways for others to understand and appreciate it.Top Takeaways[2:00] Growing up in Modena, Mattia learned that craft creates connection—a lesson that would later inspire him to invite the world into his family's three-generation story.[4:35] After traveling through the vineyards of Tuscany, Piedmont, and Napa Valley, Mattia envisioned bringing that same immersive wine-country hospitality back to Modena—but centered entirely around the time-honored craft and storytelling of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar.[5:45] At Opera|02, Mattia honors his family's wisdom by preserving the exact recipes and processes his great-grandmother began—proving that tradition and innovation aren't opposing forces, but rather two sides of the same story.[8:00] Leaving the roar of Motor Valley's Ferraris and Maseratis behind, guests wind up into the vineyard-lined hills to discover Opera|02—where the noise fades into silence, and the only thing that changes with each season is the view from your terrace.[9:50] From sunrise in the vineyards to sunset in the acetaia, a day at Opera|02 is an invitation to taste, touch, and witness the slow alchemy that turns grapes into legacy.[11:05] Each of the eight suites is a love letter to the land—named Grappa, Nocino, Prugna, Aceto, Saba, Duroni, Vino, Miele—where the colors and textures of each room mirror the very products that made Mattia's family name.[13:40] In the acetaia, each family member has their own barrel aging in the darkness—a tangible thread connecting Mattia to his brother, his parents, his grandparents—a tradition that asks, what legacy are you building that will outlive you?[14:55] At the Bistrot, every plate holds seasonal ingredients within zero kilometers and is touched by aged balsamic—telling you exactly who Mattia's family is and what this corner of Emilia tastes like.[16:30] Opera|02 invites guests into vineyard picnics with baskets of local cheese and bread, intimate dinners among three hundred barrels of aging balsamic, wine tastings that change with the seasons, and Lambrusco served in a can—proving that tradition doesn't mean stuffy.Visit For YourselfOpera|02 Website | Shop Opera|02 | @opera02resort

Caden and Patrick run Cable Family Farm in Piedmont, North Carolina, where they manage a small 80 bed no-till market garden along with pasture-raised eggs and chickens. Caden started the farm at 18, and then a few years later was able to convince Patrick to join him. Their main concern starting the farm was how would they make money? This tour shows how they produce their crops and animals in a healthy, sustainable way, along with their marketing and production approach to creating a viable small-scale farm production. It was fascinating and productive to hear from these young farmers how they approach farming, why their not organic, the systems they run to stay viable and efficient, and understanding why they chose this career path over everything else (hint, farming food can be incredibly meaningful).

Episode Summary In this episode, Joe sits down with Nicholas Poletto, Vice President of Wine Education at Kobrand Fine Wine & Spirits. Nick shares his unconventional journey into the wine world—starting from a job he hated, to selling wine in Manhattan, to moving to New Zealand to learn winemaking, and ultimately becoming one of the most respected wine educators in the industry. The conversation covers how he discovered his passion for wine, what his job really entails (both the romantic and the gritty parts), his pursuit of the elite Master of Wine title, and why the people in the wine industry make it all worthwhile. Nick also paints a vivid picture of what he calls the most romantic wine destination on earth. Whether you're a wine lover, a curious professional, or someone dreaming about a career in wine, this episode is packed with inspiration and insider perspective. Key Topics & Highlights Nick's Unlikely Origin Story His first "real job" was a miserable relocation-company gig in a windowless office. A coworker suggested the wine industry because he loved languages and travel. His first wine experience? Volunteering for a tiny New Hampshire winery on weekends. Within six months he was selling wine in New York City. Breaking Into Wine Sales Started in 100% commission sales — "what you kill is what you eat." A pivotal moment: losing a major sales opportunity because he didn't know what Sancerre was. That failure became the turning point that drove him to pursue formal education through WSET. Education Changed Everything WSET opened the door to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italy, and beyond. Once he gained knowledge, accounts started calling him — his "aha" moment. Led him to teach WSET and build a strong foundation in wine theory. A Life-Changing Leap Despite big earnings, Nick quit his job to move to New Zealand and learn winemaking firsthand. Worked in vineyards, scrubbed tanks, explored the entire country. Returned to the U.S. and joined Kobrand, eventually becoming VP of Wine Education. What a Wine Educator Really Does Trains distributor sales teams across the entire U.S. Teaches eight-hour seminars (intermediate + advanced). Creates educational materials, books, presentations, and a training podcast. Travels extensively domestically and internationally to visit producers. Gains rare behind‑the‑scenes access at wineries, vineyards, and cellars. The Glamorous Side (Yes, There Is One) Visiting world-class estates around the globe. Foot-treading grapes, learning barrel-making, touring historic caves. Experiencing local cuisine with winemakers — the true insider version. Witnessing wine regions in their natural beauty: Rhone cliffs, Douro terraces, Piedmont hills. Nick's First Wine Love: Barolo The region of Barolo in Piedmont gave him his personal "Aha!" wine moment. A vineyard tasting showed him how wines made identically can taste completely different due to terroir just 10 feet apart. That realization cemented his lifelong passion. The Most Romantic Wine Destination: Beaune, France Nick's pick for the most magical spot in the wine world: The village of Beaune in Burgundy. Cobblestone streets, markets, fireside cafés, truffle-centered cuisine. A perfect bicycle route through legendary villages like Volnay, Pommard, and Montrachet. An unforgettable day of bread, cheese, vineyard views, and world-class Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. So You Want Nick's Job? Start with education (WSET, Society of Wine Educators, Court of Master Sommeliers). Get frontline experience with a distributor to understand the sales side. Be prepared for travel, airports, long days, and lots of time away from home. The reward? A job filled with passion, authenticity, and incredible people.

A Scottish orphan sails from the Highlands to New Bern in the 1780s, builds a waterfront empire, and watches Union soldiers occupy his elegant mansion during the Civil War. Fast forward two centuries—what if one of his descendants became the voice that taught America to dream of Carolina? In this episode of JoCoYo, we trace a 250-year family journey from New Bern's wharves to Chapel Hill's piney woods, culminating in a shocking musical revelation that connects coastal commerce to Piedmont poetry—and North Carolina's red clay to an anthem we all know by heart.

JJ welcomes Sheila Donohue for a conversation that blends entrepreneurship, lifestyle, and the art of curated Italian wines and foods. Sheila shares how her company, Verovino, sources small-batch, farm-made wines, olive oils, and specialty foods—many not readily available in the U.S.—and delivers them to both consumers and businesses across America. In This Episode Meet Sheila in Bologna: Sheila shares her life in Bologna, Italy, where she's lived since 2001, and how Italy shaped her expertise and relationships with producers. What Verovino does: Verovino curates and imports authentic, sustainably made, small-batch products—primarily from Italy, plus select producers from other countries and California—selling B2B and direct-to-consumer. From fintech to food & wine: Sheila explains her background in financial technology (fintech), her sommelier training in Italy, and how her personal immersion in artisan food culture inspired the company. Starting from a "clean slate": In 2017, after major life changes, Sheila began building Verovino—funded through savings—and took early action by importing product and going door-to-door to find customers. How the business grows: Sheila emphasizes the importance of continuity (repeat business), building scale, and covering operating expenses. She explains how an omni-channel strategy helps stabilize the business: Distributors nationwide Wine stores & restaurants (especially in California) Direct-to-consumer shipping across the U.S. Corporate gifting & events Marketing & education that compounds: Verovino invests in education and storytelling through digital marketing—especially their blog and YouTube channel—to build long-term brand trust and demand. Product philosophy: As a sommelier-led team, Sheila curates for variety and distinction: reds, whites, rosés, orange wines, sparkling (dry and sweet), plus standout olive oils—including single-varietal olive oils with specific pairing profiles. Events as a growth engine: Sheila shares how tastings, fundraisers, private events, and collaborations introduce people to the products—because tasting creates appreciation and connection. Specialty foods: The conversation highlights a Piedmont hazelnut producer offering toasted hazelnuts, caramelized hazelnuts, hazelnut creams, pasta, and pestos—plus JJ's enthusiasm for pistachio cream and clean ingredients. Wine club & gifting: Sheila describes Verovino's monthly or quarterly wine club, curated shipments with insider notes and stories, and a growing trend of gifting memberships (including personalized letters). Gift sets: Verovino offers curated gift sets—popular in December—and a standout option that pairs wine + olive oil, plus expanded options for non-wine drinkers. A second brand line for broader appeal: To avoid being pigeonholed and to meet different market needs, Sheila shares how Verovino expanded into a separate line for more "recognizable" wines, including Prosecco and kegs—ideal for events and high-volume restaurant service. Advice for new producers: Sheila emphasizes the need to stand out in a crowded market—especially as the wine industry faces headwinds—and to clearly differentiate your product and message. Memorable Moments JJ connects her own journey as a winemaker (High Vibrational Wines) and discusses why she values small-batch, purpose-driven production over mass distribution. A fun community collaboration emerges: JJ invites Sheila to co-create a March event in Ojai with "Women Behind the Business: Real Conversations," potentially adding a wine tasting experience—and they discover their birthdays are both in March. Connect with Sheila / Verovino Website: Verovino.com YouTube: Vero Vino Instagram & Facebook: VeroVinoGusto Closing: JJ encourages listeners to explore Verovino for personal discovery, gifting, and creating meaningful food-and-wine experiences that bring "a taste of Italy" home.

JJ welcomes back Sheila Donohue for a conversation that blends entrepreneurship, lifestyle, and the art of curated Italian wines and foods. Sheila shares how her company, Verovino, sources small-batch, farm-made wines, olive oils, and specialty foods—many not readily available in the U.S.—and delivers them to both consumers and businesses across America. In This Episode Meet Sheila in Bologna: Sheila shares her life in Bologna, Italy, where she's lived since 2001, and how Italy shaped her expertise and relationships with producers. What Verovino does: Verovino curates and imports authentic, sustainably made, small-batch products—primarily from Italy, plus select producers from other countries and California—selling B2B and direct-to-consumer. From fintech to food & wine: Sheila explains her background in financial technology (fintech), her sommelier training in Italy, and how her personal immersion in artisan food culture inspired the company. Starting from a "clean slate": In 2017, after major life changes, Sheila began building Verovino—funded through savings—and took early action by importing product and going door-to-door to find customers. How the business grows: Sheila emphasizes the importance of continuity (repeat business), building scale, and covering operating expenses. She explains how an omni-channel strategy helps stabilize the business: Distributors nationwide Wine stores & restaurants (especially in California) Direct-to-consumer shipping across the U.S. Corporate gifting & events Marketing & education that compounds: Verovino invests in education and storytelling through digital marketing—especially their blog and YouTube channel—to build long-term brand trust and demand. Product philosophy: As a sommelier-led team, Sheila curates for variety and distinction: reds, whites, rosés, orange wines, sparkling (dry and sweet), plus standout olive oils—including single-varietal olive oils with specific pairing profiles. Events as a growth engine: Sheila shares how tastings, fundraisers, private events, and collaborations introduce people to the products—because tasting creates appreciation and connection. Specialty foods: The conversation highlights a Piedmont hazelnut producer offering toasted hazelnuts, caramelized hazelnuts, hazelnut creams, pasta, and pestos—plus JJ's enthusiasm for pistachio cream and clean ingredients.

Tom Stokes, president of EpiCity Real Estate Services, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the company's 90-year legacy in Atlanta and how its founding philosophy of stewardship translates to thoughtful development and adaptive reuse. Stewardship of the Land as a Business Philosophy Celebrating 90 years in business offers a rare opportunity to reflect on both history and progress. EpiCity's story began with founder Davis Lee Stokes, who grew up in rural Middle Georgia in the early 1900s, dependent on the land for survival. That connection left a lasting impression and continues to shape the company’s approach to development. Tom Stokes explains that his grandfather was a forward-thinking entrepreneur who embraced new ideas rather than resisting them. While today's Atlanta — particularly its technology-driven real estate environment — might feel worlds apart from the city of the 1920s, Stokes believes his grandfather would be more appreciative than surprised by how much has changed. At the core of EpiCity's longevity is a simple but powerful principle: take care of the land, and it will take care of you. While that idea once meant survival, today it reflects a broader responsibility to builders, homeowners and the communities they serve. Stokes shares that stewardship now extends beyond the company itself. By thoughtfully developing and maintaining properties, EpiCity aims to benefit the people who live and work in those spaces. “We take care of the land, not so much to take care of ourselves, but to take care of our customers and our clients, who in turn take care of us,” Stokes said. Risk & Opportunity in the Atlanta Market EpiCity's history includes bold decisions that helped shape Atlanta long before certain neighborhoods became obvious growth centers. From Marietta to Decatur to communities south of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the company often developed in areas others considered too far out. Stokes credits that entrepreneurial instinct to his cousin and business partner, Jim LaVallee, who shares their grandfather's ability to spot opportunity through constant networking and information gathering. That willingness to listen, learn and act on emerging trends remains a defining element of the company's approach to risk and reward. Following World War II, EpiCity played a significant role in providing housing for returning veterans and the growing middle class. One of the firm's largest historical projects, the Lindmont and Morningside apartments near Lindbergh and Piedmont roads, exemplified that mission. At the time, the 510-unit development was considered one of the largest residential projects of its kind in the region. Today, it serves as a reminder that meeting real community needs has always been central to the firm's success. That legacy continues as EpiCity develops new projects in many of the same neighborhoods where its founder once built, creating continuity across generations. Adaptive Reuse Before It Was a Buzzword Adaptive reuse has become a defining focus for EpiCity, not because it is trendy, but because it often makes economic and practical sense. Stokes emphasized that many reuse projects begin by recognizing the value already embedded in existing structures. “With a building that's functional but closer to redevelopment than not, you have to figure out how to be economical and use what's there,” Stokes said. Rather than defaulting to demolition, EpiCity looks for opportunities to preserve architectural character and extend the useful life of buildings until the market supports full redevelopment. Armour Junction is an early example of that philosophy. The office loft campus is home to several Atlanta businesses and is located just steps from the Atlanta Beltline. EpiCity assembled dozens of parcels near the Beltline in its early days, including single-family homes throughout Westside neighborhoods. Today, the continued expansion of the Northeast Trail and planned future connections only enhance the value and connectivity of projects like Armour Junction, reinforcing the firm's long-term, forward-looking approach. Lessons From Market Cycles and Looking Ahead Over nine decades, EpiCity has weathered wars, economic downturns and dramatic shifts in the real estate cycle — lessons that continue to inform how the firm operates today. Stokes succinctly summed up one enduring principle: less debt is better. Maintaining financial discipline allows the company to navigate uncertainty while staying prepared for long-term opportunities. While optimistic about Atlanta's future, Stokes says EpiCity is approaching the current cycle with caution, focused on positioning itself to deliver value when opportunities arise. That mindset, grounded in gratitude and long-term thinking, continues to shape the firm's outlook. “I really thought about it, and it occurred to me, it's the company that's kept the family together,” Stokes said. “By having that extra connectivity, those of us who are invested in the business and work in the business have one more reason to be connected.” Tune in to the full episode to learn how EpiCity Real Estate Services is carrying forward a 90-year legacy of thoughtful development, adaptive reuse and land stewardship across Atlanta.

If you weren't locked into the college basketball on Saturday you really missed out. Three different freshmen went off for 40+ points, in total there were seven diaper dandies that dropped 30+, and oh by the way the actual games were pretty damned good too. Matt Norlander spent the weekend in Utah hitting the slopes and watching the AJ Dybantsa show, he's got boots on the ground for Monday night's marquee matchup with Arizona visiting BYU. So full recap of everything that went down on Saturday - including a wellness check on Hartzell who is snowed in with a couple inches of sleet in the Piedmont! Some brief discussion on the Monday night card which features Duke hosting Louisville in the appetizer. Tuesday night is loaded too with not one but TWO 20-0 teams taking the floor. And in 'Now Spinning' some words on the Goose vs Geese debate which has really broken contain after the SNL performance over the weekend. Lots to get to and just one football game left on the schedule so what's your excuse? Exactly, you don't have one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Tale of Two Carolinas: Ice Inland, Warm Air at the Coast. Join the Carolina Weather Group for a special Saturday evening live update as a major winter storm moves across North and South Carolina. Host Sam Walker, along with James Brierton in Charlotte and Frank Strait in Columbia, break down the incoming freezing rain, sleet, and massive temperature divides impacting the region on Saturday, January 24, 2026.While the storm has slowed down due to a very dry air mass, a "big blob of junk" is moving in, bringing dangerous ice to the Piedmont and Upstate, and spring-like warmth to the Lowcountry.❄️ Key Takeaways from Tonight's Update:The Delay Explained: The storm is moving slower than anticipated because a very dry air mass is evaporating the precipitation before it hits the ground, but dangerous ice is still on the way for the overnight hours.Major Ice Threat: Areas along the I-85 corridor, Upstate SC, and the NC Triad/Piedmont could see a quarter to half-inch of ice accumulation.Power Outages Looming: Anything above a quarter inch of ice will cause trees and power lines to come down. Duke Energy and out-of-town contractor crews are already staged and ready to respond.Extreme Temperature Divide: We are looking at a 30-to-40-degree temperature difference across the states! Coastal areas like Charleston and the Outer Banks could see highs in the 60s and 70s with a risk of severe thunderstorms, while inland areas remain trapped in the 20s and 30s.Monday Impacts: Travel will remain hazardous. School districts, like Rock Hill, are already moving to e-learning for Monday.

Stay Safe, Carolinas! Complete Winter Storm Emergency Briefing & Live Forecast UpdateNorth Carolina Governor Josh Stein, state emergency officials, and the Carolina Weather Group provide critical updates as a major winter storm brings dangerous ice, sleet, and freezing rain to the Carolinas.

It is the question everyone is asking: Is it finally going to snow in the Carolinas? On this week's edition of the Carolina Weather Group, James Brierson and Meteorologist Frank Strait break down the complicated signal for potential winter weather this weekend.We start with the bitter cold arriving Thursday and Friday, bringing dangerous wind chills and school delays to Western North Carolina. Then, we dive deep into the computer models to see if a developing system on Sunday will bring snow to the Piedmont or just cold rain. Frank explains why the GFS is bullish on snow while the European and Canadian models disagree, and teaches us how to use "ensembles" to cut through social media hype.Plus, we cover breaking space news regarding the first-ever medical evacuation from the International Space Station and track the Buddhist monks' "Walk for Peace" moving through Charlotte.Support the Show: Get your Carolina Weather Group Beanie or Fleece to stay warm during this cold snap! https://carolinaweathergroup.qbstores.com/#weather #northcarolina #southcarolina #ncwx #scwx #podcast

On March 15, 2024, a Piedmont, Oklahoma police officer responded to a routine runaway report that would uncover one of the most disturbing child abuse cases in recent Oklahoma history.The officer found a 14-year-old girl hiding under a blanket, weighing approximately 60 pounds—the size of a first grader. Her skin hung from her bones, and her eyes carried a fear that went far beyond a typical runaway. She had fled from her foster mother, 43-year-old Tina Marie Ramirez, and she was terrified to go back.What the officer discovered inside the Ramirez home shocked even veteran investigators. Every cabinet was padlocked. The refrigerator was locked. The pantry was locked. Surveillance cameras covered every room in the house. The children couldn't access food without permission—and permission was rarely granted.The officer found a taser that Tina had used as "discipline" on the malnourished children. He also discovered a handwritten letter from one of the children, addressed to God, its desperate words scrawled by a child who had lost hope that any human would help.This was the girl's seventh runaway attempt. For reasons that remain unclear, this time someone finally listened.Five foster children were immediately removed from the home and evaluated at OU Children's Hospital, where medical professionals described it as one of the worst malnutrition cases they had ever seen. The children were placed with their biological grandmother, Shelly Yates, who described them as "fragile and very thin" upon arrival.On March 28, 2024, Tina Marie Ramirez was charged in Canadian County District Court with four counts of child abuse by injury, two counts of child neglect, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Her husband, 26-year-old Anthony Ibeziako, was charged with two counts of child neglect and child abuse for failing to intervene. Both remain free while court proceedings continue.As of early 2026, the children are reportedly recovering with their grandmother—gaining weight, attending school, and slowly rebuilding their lives away from the locks, cameras, and fear.This episode features body camera footage, police interrogation recordings, and 911 dispatch audio.

He is known for his winning ways at the helm as head football coach at the University of Utah, leading the Utes to historic success over 12 exciting seasons. We're talking about Ron McBride or Coach Mac as many have come to know him over the years. On this episode of the Supercast, we have the honor of sitting down with the legend and hearing firsthand about his time coaching, recruiting, and giving young athletes opportunities they never thought possible. Find out how Coach Mac is continuing his passionate work in our schools today with the Ron McBride Foundation, making sure at-risk youth have every chance to succeed. Plus, hear how Coach Mac impacted the life of one of our very own, Valley High School Principal Jacinto Peterson. [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: We're talking today with Coach Ron McBride. Mac, thank you so much for being here today. Coach McBride: Absolutely, Superintendent. Hey, I'm glad to be here. Anthony Godfrey: It's a real thrill. I've been telling my friends I get to talk to you today. [LAUGHTER] Coach McBride: You got to tell that to my wife. Anthony Godfrey: We have felt your support in Jordan School District through your foundation, and I think it was high time that we just talked with you about the great things that you have going and all the support that you give to our kids in need. So we just wanted to talk with you about the foundation and where that came from. Coach McBride: Actually, Lavell Edwards and myself started it nine years ago. The thing was to help the underserved kids and to give them a chance to see a brighter side of life. Basically, from the time I was in high school, junior high, I was always very involved, particularly with my teammates that were underprivileged because I came from a lower middle East LA neighborhood. So I understood, and my parents were month to month trying to keep afloat. Anthony Godfrey: So through your own experience and your experience with players who were underprivileged, you've always had this focus on helping people. Coach McBride: Absolutely, yeah. So I've always been. So when I retired from Weber, then and Lavell and I were doing the radio show on Fridays. So we said, "Let's start this foundation." West Jordan Middle was one of our first schools. Anthony Godfrey: You've done a lot of work with them consistently over the years. Coach McBride: Oh ya, lots. First of all, the principals, the vice principals, the people that worked there were outstanding. The librarian was outstanding. Anthony Godfrey: She really is. Coach McBride: Oh, yeah. And she cares. I mean, I think we did a book club was the first thing we did over there, right? Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: This was many years ago. She was so appreciative and loved the kids so much. She was so excited about what we were doing, you know. Then I loved the principal, you know, and she was awesome. Anthony Godfrey: When you're able to bring resources to a school, and you see that the school has these caring adults that are trying to do their best for kids, it's got to feel good that you know that those resources are going to the right place. Coach McBride: Well, West Jordan Middle always followed up with whatever, you know. I mean, you go over there and check with their .  . .  watch the after school program. The lady that ran it, Ivy Erickson, one of the best people in the world. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, she's done like it. Coach McBride: But first of all, she the kids, she's all into the young people. Anthony Godfrey: Right. Coach McBride: She's all into the young people that have problems and she's a good listener. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: And so she's excited about what she does. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: So it's easy to go there and watch her in action. Anthony Godfrey: Well, I'm thrilled that you picked West Jordan Middle and they really are amazing people there. Coach McBride: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: There's been some turnover since you started. Coach McBride: Well, yeah, Dixie was a principal and she's at a bigger job. Anthony Godfrey: That's right. Coach McBride: And I tell you what, she's, first of all, her dad, I think, was a principal at that school. Anthony Godfrey: Right. That's right. Coach McBride: And she has a real history in education. Anthony Godfrey: Yes. Coach McBride: She's a great lady. You know what I mean? The great thing about when she was at West Jordan, it was always open anytime. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: We would go by to check out what they were doing or talk to the kids or whatever, but it was always very open to us. I think it was, that was the first school that, when Jerry Sloan was sick, we kind of dedicated that school to Jerry back then to begin with. So we called it “Jerry's Kids” to begin with over there. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Coach McBride: And then, of course, Jerry had problems and finally, his problems took his life. It was too bad. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, it is. You were really instrumental in helping those after-school programs happen at West Jordan Middle School. Coach McBride: Oh, absolutely. Anthony Godfrey: That made a huge difference for those students. Coach McBride: Oh, yeah. I mean, they had-- And they had a lot of things going on. Besides sports, you know, they had Pokémon and they had chess club, it's ceramics club. So they had a lot of things. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. It was all this pent-up need from the kids and interest from the adults in providing those opportunities. Yeah, yeah. And when you come in with those resources with caring adults and needy kids, it was just an-- it's an incredible combination. Coach McBride: And they-- Anthony Godfrey: And you've allowed us to do things we couldn't do on our own. Coach McBride: Oh, absolutely. And you know, they have a lot of-- since they've kind of redid West Jordan Middle, they have a whole bunch of access to things they didn't have before. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: The shop classes are really good. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: Because, you know, in today's economy, it's important that young people know how to do a trade. Anthony Godfrey: Right. Coach McBride: Because that's where all the money is right now. Anthony Godfrey: That's right. Coach McBride: Trade-- so more young people need to go into trades because they're paying a good wage, you're going to make a good living, and you're going to be working every day. Anthony Godfrey: AI doesn't fix things or remodel things or repair things, you know? Coach McBride: Yeah, but we have a huge need in that sector. Anthony Godfrey: This feels like an extension of what you were able to do as a football coach. Coach McBride: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: You gave kids opportunities as a football coach. Talk to me about the relationship. Coach McBride: Well, I always-- you know, we always divided the locker room into three segments because of red, yellow, and green. So the red guys were about 10% of your football team and these are guys that were underappreciated, needed academic help, needed structure help, you know? Just needed to put them on a different line. So we would put our red guys with our green guys and therefore, then they would get them to thinking a different process. Anthony Godfrey: I see. Coach McBride: The idea is to take the red guys and get them to the yellow and get the yellow to the green. So you hopefully, by the time they graduate from college, that they were all into the green zone where they could take care of their own problems, take care of their own situations, handle adversity, do things that people have to do to be successful. Anthony Godfrey: There's a lot of work off the field to help them become everything they can be. Coach McBride: It's a lot of brainwashing. [LAUGHTER] Coach McBride: So, yeah, you just have to change the way people think. Anthony Godfrey: Right. Coach McBride: And if you put them around people that think different, then they slowly buy into it. What I find now with these red people, when I go to different places in Hawaii or in the South or anything, all these kids that play for me are academic people now. That's all they want to talk about is, "Oh, my kid's in college. He's doing this. He's doing this." And all of a sudden I says, "Well, I guess you got the message a long time ago." Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, it definitely worked. So, the message was, "There's more than football, and we need to prepare you for that." Coach McBride: Yeah, football is a vehicle. And if you don't do what I say, then I can take football away from you. So therefore, the kids, they want to play football, so if they want to play football, they have to get an education, they have to become the kind of citizens you want them to become. Anthony Godfrey: Let's figure that out, yeah. Now, you coached one of our principals. Coach McBride: Oh, yeah, Jacinto. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: His story is unreal because I can still remember going to that high school, and then he was living with his grandparents in a trailer out in the middle of nowhere. I said, "Well, how do I find the trailer?" "Well, go down this dirt road, turn right at where you see this dog tied up, and then turn left, and then you'll see the trailer, right." Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Coach McBride: They were beautiful people, you know. And Jacinto's had so much success here, and I'm so proud of him because he's always been a stand-up man. Anthony Godfrey: He's an incredible leader. Coach McBride: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: He's a great educator and he's saving a lot of kids. Coach McBride: Yeah, well, he understands it all because he lived through it. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, absolutely. When you first met Jacinto, what were your impressions? Coach McBride: Oh, I loved the kid. You know, he was easy to talk to, good communicator. I loved his grandparents, his grandma, you know. They're all just great and all they were interested is in getting this kid in a better spot for his life. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: So they all wanted the same thing. Anthony Godfrey: You accomplished that, and he's changed a lot of lives as a result. So thank you for that. You did me a big favor by sending Jacinto our way. Coach McBride: I'll tell you what, he did me a big favor by coming here. So he's the best, that kid. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, absolutely. Well, tell me about the foundation now. Tell me about your operations and how people can help if they wanted to. Coach McBride: So we started out with nothing, basically. And then we're up to, I think we got 32 schools now we support, between Ogden, Salt Lake, Canyons District. We got schools in all those places and so we gave away a little over $400,000 last year. Anthony Godfrey: Amazing. Coach McBride: In different schools. And everybody on our foundation has a school that they're responsible for. And we got, when we have our meetings, everybody reports on their schools, what's going on. And then I visit as many as I can. Anthony Godfrey: You've been very visible. Very hands on with us. Coach McBride: Yeah, because what you want to do is you can't have a foundation and then the guy's name on it, you know, who's that guy? But I love the kids because the kids are so much fun. Anthony Godfrey: Nobody says, “who's that guy?” I've seen you in school so many times, interacting with the kids, interacting with the adults. Coach McBride: Oh yeah, we have a lot of laughs when we go and then getting to know different kids and watching them go through the system. Anthony Godfrey: Sure. Coach McBride: Yeah, it's all fun. Anthony Godfrey: Middle school kids in particular, you can't help but have a good laugh when you're around middle school kids. Coach McBride: Well, middle school kids are making some decisions that are important to their lives. Because that's kind of that age group where you kind of start thinking, you know, a little more than you really should know, or you think you know more, and you're starting to question things, and you call it a growth spurt. So you got to make, you got to try to get these kids to think a little different and think beyond where they think they can be. Anthony Godfrey: They're having a growth spurt in every aspect of their lives, really. It's a big time. Coach McBride: Well, it's a huge time. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, you're right. Stay with us when we come back. More with Coach Mac and he talks with us about the recent coaching changes at the University of Utah.

Anthony Godfrey: There have been a lot of changes in the football world lately. What do you think of all the coaching shifts? Coach McBride: I'm in the middle of most of it every day because every time somebody gets leaves or something they call and say, “I'm going.” Obviously, some of those guys that Kyle took with him to Michigan were guys that played for me. A lot of staff have played for me. With Lewis Powell leaving, Doug LSI leaving, Jim Harding leaving, Jason Beck leaving. Those guys all have a history with all those guys. That was tough. I talked to most of them before they left and tried to talk them into staying. Now Morgan has hired some really good people. So it looks like Jordan Gross is going to be the old line guy, which is a great take. I think they're bringing back Noki who worked for me up at Weber as one of the D-line guys. They just hired Bumpus back as a wide receiver guy, which is a good hire. Then Colton Swan, who was my defensive coordinator at Weber, he's now the defensive coordinator. Luther's back, which is good. Colton is good. Sharif is good. Jordan will do a nice job with the offense. Kevin McGivin is going to be the offensive coordinator. He worked for me at Weber and was up at Utah State. We lost some good ones, but we hired some good ones. Anthony Godfrey: It's good to hear your take on that and your connection to all those folks. Coach McBride: The interesting thing, a guy that I coached with at Wisconsin, Fred Jackson, worked for the Michigan football program for 27 years. They retained him. Today I get a picture with him and a couple of the Utah people. They sent it to me. I said, "I can't believe how old you are, Fred." [LAUGHTER] Anthony Godfrey: When I've talked with people who worked with you in the past, they talk about kindness and loyalty. That you are just extremely loyal. When someone needs help and they ask you, you're all in. You're there to help. That's been your career and it's been your passion in retirement with this foundation. You're a dedicated loyal friend who wants to help people have a better life. Coach McBride: The whole key to our civilization are young people. What we have to do is create positives for them that they can go beyond what their parents have done. The key to the whole thing is, I want to have a positive voice on education. Anthony Godfrey: Yes. Coach McBride: The more you invest, the more you have a voice. The voice has to be positive. It can't be negative. It has to be that if you have a problem, you've got to adjust to the problem and solve it. The world is about adversity and how you handle adversity. Are you equipped? Can you handle the problem? All these kids at that middle age are asking questions, and you've got all this social media. Kids are very mean to each other, and this social media. You've got to get beyond that so somebody doesn't get their self-image spoiled. Anthony Godfrey: The negativity sticks with you. Coach McBride: Absolutely. Anthony Godfrey: It has an outsized impact way beyond. I know that even if you hear a negative comment from someone you don't know, it sticks with you at that age in ways that are so damaging. Coach McBride: Oh yeah. I mean, when I say cut out the noise, but with all these cell phones, these kids get a lot of noise. Anthony Godfrey: Like you were saying, you're lifting them at such an important time, providing these resources to our middle school kids. Coach McBride: Absolutely. Hopefully, we will continue to grow. Anthony Godfrey: If people want to help, they just go to RonMcBrideFoundation.org and they can make a donation right there. Coach McBride: Absolutely. We don't spend a lot of money paying people so we only have two people that we pay. Anthony Godfrey: You're also helping with Joel P. Jensen and with Majestic Elementary. Majestic, our elementary arts academy, a very unique place. Coach McBride: Oh my, it's so much fun over there. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, yeah. Coach McBride: How they've incorporated the music with the teaching, with the learning and very positive people. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, they are. A lot of great energy. Coach McBride: Yeah, extremely. Anthony Godfrey: You're a good match for that school. Coach McBride: Yeah, oh yeah. They're great. I like the process. It's an interesting way of education. It's an interesting way to keep the kids involved. And then your teachers over there are heavily involved in that formula. Anthony Godfrey: Oh yeah, no, they're all in. They're all trained. Coach McBride: Oh yeah. Anthony Godfrey: They approach education in a whole different way. Coach McBride: Exactly. Anthony Godfrey: And your support really makes some incredible experiences possible. So you bought the pianos for the piano lab, is that right? Coach McBride: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Well, I remember when we started down the academy pathway, and we wanted to make it a music school, and that was a big obstacle, is being able to get those keyboards in there. Coach McBride: Oh yeah. Well, it's all, you know, if you're going to have that kind of school, you've got to have good instruments and you've got to have a way to, you know, and you've got to make it first class. Anthony Godfrey: I received an email from someone at the state level who had attended their program right before the winter break and they were so impressed with how important this clearly was to the families of the students who were benefiting from the program when they all came there. It's just, it's a whole community impact. You've done a lot of great work with Joel P. Jensen as well, offering those after school . . . Coach McBride: Karen Moore, yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Karen Moore at... Coach McBride: Yeah, yeah. She's a good leader, very good leader. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: And she's great. Yeah. So yeah, you've hired some really good people in your district. Anthony Godfrey: Thank you. We really do have good people everywhere. Coach McBride: Very extremely positive role models for the kids. Anthony Godfrey: You have these strong relationships that stay because you create strong relationships to stay with. Coach McBride: Yeah, absolutely. So it doesn't stop because your eligibility is up. Anthony Godfrey: Right. Coach McBride: And you're basically in these kids' lives forever. My wife, she's on social media, I guess, with around 200 players. So every morning she's answering their questions, answering what their problems are. And then she'll come in and she'll say, "Hey, so and so's got a problem. You need to get ahold of them." So he's doing well. So we have one of the kids play for me at a heart attack two days ago. So she's been on the phone taking, "How is he? How's he doing?" And then I'm on the phone with his family. And yeah, so yeah, it's just... But that's where it's supposed to be. Anthony Godfrey: Doesn't surprise me a bit that you're still in touch with those 200 players. Coach McBride: Yeah, well, it's probably more than that. It's fun to watch them have kids and then see how they handle their kids. Anthony Godfrey: Sure, sure. Coach McBride: We've had a lot of... Kids have had a lot of success. Anthony Godfrey: That's amazing. What are some of the success stories you remember with your students that are most meaningful? Coach McBride: Well, you know, probably all starts with Joe Mosley back in high school. Overfeld High School was a minority school and Piedmont Hills was the first place that I coached. So they were busing kids from Overfeld to Piedmont, minority kids and Joe was a really good football player. So, he wasn't showing up. And he wouldn't get on a... They were busing these kids. He wouldn't get on the bus. Anthony Godfrey: Yah. Coach McBride: So then I said, "Okay, I'm going to pick you up every morning. Get you dressed. Take you to McDonald's and then we'll go to school." And he said, "You're not going to do that." I said, "Yes, I am." So I'd show up. I'd get him out of bed and make sure he got dressed. "Okay, we're on the way to McDonald's." And then I'd make sure he got home at night. I did that for maybe almost a year until I got him squared away. And then he became a leader in the school. And then he became in charge of all the gang units in San Jose. He just retired recently, so I was kind of the guest speaker at his retirement. This was 60 years ago. Anthony Godfrey: My goodness. Coach McBride: So everywhere there's a success there is a Joe Mosley story. Anthony Godfrey: Lots of stories like that. Coach McBride: And some of you failed. Anthony Godfrey: Sure. Coach McBride: I mean, so some people, you try to help them, try to put them right, and then they just keep falling back into a pattern. So sometimes you fail and I know the failures and I know why. Anthony Godfrey: A lot more successes, sounds like. Coach McBride: Well, yeah. I would say, yeah. I think we're on the positive side of— Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, for sure. Coach McBride: But there are, you know, everybody has problems. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, it's true. Well, thank you, Mac, for supporting these three schools in our district and for what you do in the broader community throughout the state and just for the positive impact you've had in Utah for so many years. Thank you. Coach McBride: Well, it's a good agenda and it's important. So it looks like we're in this for the long run. Anthony Godfrey: I love it. Thank you. [MUSIC PLAYING] Anthony Godfrey: Thanks for joining us on another episode of the Supercast. Remember, “Education is the most important thing you'll do today!” We'll see you out there.

Galatia, the "Ukrainian Piedmont," and the Threat of Ukrainian Nationalism. Professor Eugene Finkel touches on the life of his Jewish grandfather, Lev, from Galatia, who joined the Red Army in 1940, illustrating how parts of Ukraine were not under Russian control until World War II. Russia viewed the tolerant Austro-Hungarian region of Galatia as a dangerous "Ukrainian Piedmont" that could spread nationalism. Russia's goal of controlling Galatia and assimilating its people was a key driver of World War I. The collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917 allowed for the brief, weak existence of the first Ukrainian state. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. 1859
