Send us Fan MailProgesterone-in-oil shots, also known as PIO shots, are one of the most feared and hated parts of IVF. They are uncomfortable, intimidating, and often leave patients wondering: “Do I really need this, or is my fertility doctor just being cruel?”In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explains why progesterone matters for implantation, how estrogen and progesterone work together to prepare the uterine lining, and why the type of embryo transfer cycle changes everything.The key question is not simply whether progesterone shots are better than vaginal progesterone. The real question is whether your body is making progesterone on its own.Dr. Amols breaks down the difference between ovulatory or modified natural frozen embryo transfers and programmed frozen embryo transfers. In an ovulatory cycle, the body forms a corpus luteum and produces progesterone naturally. In a programmed cycle, there is no ovulation, no corpus luteum, and therefore no natural progesterone production — meaning all progesterone support must come from medication.This episode also reviews the research comparing daily progesterone-in-oil shots, vaginal progesterone alone, and combination protocols using vaginal progesterone plus intermittent PIO injections. The data shows why vaginal progesterone alone may not be enough in programmed frozen embryo transfer cycles and why many clinics still rely on PIO for reliable progesterone support.Dr. Amols also discusses progesterone blood levels, why levels can be hard to interpret with vaginal progesterone, why clinics may differ in their protocols, and how some patients may be candidates for fewer injections or modified natural cycles.If you are preparing for an embryo transfer, taking progesterone, or wondering why your clinic recommends PIO shots, this episode will help you understand the science behind the shot — and hopefully hate your doctor a little less.The bottom line: fertility doctors are not sadists. Progesterone-in-oil may be a literal pain in the butt, but in some embryo transfer cycles, it has an important purpose.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Send us Fan MailImagine being PIO for an incident that includes the evacuation of 50,000 local residents and and a real threat of major explosion or chemical release that could cause massive damage to homes and businesses. That' black swan scenario is what PIO Greg Barta was facing with his team at Orange County Fire Authority this past Memorial Day weekend when a runaway chemical reaction threatened their community. Greg serves as lead Public Information Officer (PIO) for the Orange County Fire Authority and gives us an inside look at how the team organized and managed communications to local residents and media around this incident. We walk through what it looks like to staff up communications on a holiday weekend when you only have a few full time shift PIOs who just completed their PIO training the day before the incident. Talk about being tossed into the deep end of the pool! Greg shares with us his strategy for relying on videos and social media to communicate critical incident updates to the evacuated communities. This proved an effective strategy, largely owing to the communications skills and empathy of the incident commanders and fire chief who appeared in the videos. We also dig into the mechanics that keep a unified message intact: media advisories, daily talking points as living documents, and a fast approval loop with unified command so information moves quickly without getting sloppy. Finally, we talk media relations when the story goes national, reporters are clustered at the command post, and a press conference expands to nine speakers, plus the pre briefing steps that kept the event controlled and on message.This is part one of a multi part deep dive.

Send us Fan MailWhen a chemical incident triggers the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents, communications stops being a “nice to have” and becomes operational. We're back with Greg Barta, Public Information Officer for the Orange County Fire Authority, to dig into the nuts and bolts of crisis communication that most people never see: where to stage a press conference, how to set the tone, and the subtle skill of knowing when it's time to end Q&A before it turns into a loop of repeats and rumors.We also get candid about staffing and endurance. Greg walks through how his incident management team scaled PIO coverage with a 24/7 posture, including clear assignments for on-camera interviews, a dedicated media phone line, and a rover role to absorb surges. If you've ever wondered how agencies keep messaging consistent across multiple shifts and multiple partner agencies, this is a practical look at building a battle rhythm that holds up after the chaotic first 24 to 48 hours.Then we zoom out to coordination: the interplay between the PIO shop and the liaison officer when elected officials are intensely engaged, and why a dedicated elected officials briefing can protect the core response while keeping leaders informed. On the public side, we talk community hotlines run through the Emergency Operations Center, the flood of social media comments and X direct messages, and what happens when “helpful suggestions” start clogging the system.If crisis management, emergency communications, media relations, and incident command are part of your world, you'll leave with tactics you can apply immediately.

Send us Fan MailWhen tens of thousands of people have to leave home over a chemical incident, the hardest part isn't just operations, it's keeping the public confidently informed while the story explodes across the news. We pick up our conversation with Greg Barta, Public Information Officer for Orange County Fire Authority, on what actually works when the phones won't stop ringing and every word can move a community. We dig into OCFA's crisis communication strategy on X, why it remains their primary channel, and how that choice serves two critical audiences at once: residents who need clear instructions and the media who amplify official updates. Greg shares how the team uses short incident commander video messages to “feed the beast” with accurate B roll and soundbites, while still carving out time for one off interviews with local affiliates and national outlets without pulling chiefs away from running unified command. We also get real about pressure points: a tiny on air wording slip that triggers hours of follow up, how media monitoring helps you spot problems fast, and why it's better to admit uncertainty than to guess. Then we zoom out to crisis websites, the danger of information vacuums, and what it signals when a responsible company is largely invisible in public messaging. Along the way, Greg talks onboarding brand new PIOs mid crisis, choosing between specialists and well rounded reps, and the leadership support that makes timely, accurate updates possible.

Ilario Carta"L'apoteosi di Pio Pacifico"Arkadia Editorewww.arkadiaeditore.it«Dattelo anche a Pio la palla, che già lo sapete che non fa male a una mosca, ohi ohi», implorava signora Cesarina dalla finestra di casa al pianterreno della piazza Solferino, nel quartiere Marina di Cagliari.La sua, più che un'esortazione era un tentativo disperato di scuotere dall'apatia suo figlio, che come ogni giorno assisteva, da solo, seduto nell'ultimo gradino del sagrato, alla interminabile partitella di pallone tra ragazzi del quartiere.Pio abitava con il padre Tarcisio e la madre Cesarina in un piccolo appartamento che dava sulla piazza, riconoscibile rispetto alle altre abitazioni per le due finestre con le grate antifurto e i muri scrostati.In quegli anni di boom economico buona parte dei cagliaritani, come tutti gli italiani, aspirava a futuri miglioramenti. Nessuna aspettativa invece si parava all'orizzonte della famiglia Pacifico, in ciò perfettamente allineata ai ritmi indolenti del quartiere che si spandeva in uno dei colli di fronte al porto.L'unica prospettiva di avanzamento era riposta nella futura pensione di Tarcisio Pacifico, il capofamiglia, che avrebbe permesso di sommare la nuova modesta entrata mensile allo stipendio da custode, che percepiva per la guardiania della sede della “Società operaia” nella zona di via Sonnino.Il quartiere Marina mostrava ancora, in quella metà degli anni Sessanta, le piaghe dei bombardamenti della Seconda guerra mondiale, certificate da intere viuzze di case diroccate.I genitori di Pio erano stati bambini nel ventennio. Avevano vissuto quotidianamente la propaganda fascista inneggiante a un'Italia nuova e padrona del Mediterraneo. Come tutti i ragazzi di allora avevano coltivato sogni fantasiosi di un mondo migliore, ma la guerra e i bombardamenti degli angloamericani, avevano provveduto a disintegrare le loro aspettative. Finito il conflitto si erano accontentati, negli anni a venire, di una dimensione modesta e senza ambizioni.Nello stesso modo avevano cresciuto Pio, educandolo a ignorare le illusioni di un futuro migliore, che sono «Le trappole peggiori della vita» gli diceva continuamente Cesarina.Ilario Carta vive a Cagliari. È laureato in Materie Letterarie e ha lavorato per oltre 35 anni nell'ambito delle Politiche Sociali della Regione Sardegna. Per Arkadia ha pubblicato 5 romanzi: I giardini di Leverkusen (2015), sua fortunata opera di esordio, giunta a diverse ristampe e vincitrice del Premio Osilo 2017 quale miglior romanzo sardo dell'anno, Lo scorpione nello stomaco (2017), un romanzo distopico in cui prende di mira in modo irriverente il potere politico attuale, Espiazioni Collettive (2019) in cui esplora in modo lucido e sensibile il lato oscuro del genere umano, Japanischer Garten (2024) sequel de I giardini di Leverkusen e L'apoteosi di Pio Pacifico (2026).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Today's episode is about our favorite topic of all: wildfire information! Guest Noah Baker—the Wildfire, Climate and Community Health Specialist for the City of Flagstaff—guided us through the social science behind communicating about wildfire, the ways in which we need to modernize our communication pathways with the public, and why it has never been more important for wildland firefighters to talk about their work. Noah's done some great work in his role with Flagstaff, and has some solid recommendations for other folks who work at the city/county/state level and want to improve their relationships and trust with the public while communicating about wildfire risk. And whether you work in public information/comms/public affairs or not, you'll likely glean something insightful from this episode—not only did we talk about on-the-ground initiatives to improve relationships with the public, but we also went down some bigger-picture rabbit holes related to how we can improve our messaging and thinking around wildfire. One of Noah's biggest suggestions (one that Amanda very much agrees with) is that firefighters need to feel more empowered to not only share their story, but consider pathways in the communications/information space after they leave operational fire. To this end, if you're currently in fire and interested in the public information path, Amanda would be happy to answer any questions you might have about it—she's been a PIO for six summers now, please feel free to shoot her an email about it!

Imagine tuning a radio time-machine dial between the past and present of the Zambezi River valley; birds weave a tapestry in and out of the soundscape as static, magnetic drift, crosstalk and interference rise and fall with the signals in the atmosphere. The foundation of this mix, an original recording in the Pitt Rivers Museum collection, is a radio broadcast of singing and drumming by an unidentified group circa 1965, in the first years of Zambia's independence and the period of transition from colonial broadcasting structures to a national network. The available information is minimal; a single scrap of paper tells us the recording is "starring Stephen & Pio". During the copying process one of the reels of tape was accidentally overprinted, so that one track runs backwards while another simultaneously runs forward. In my reimagined mix this glitch leads us through history and memory, the reversed rhythms of backwards magnetic tape conducting an aural transition back into the past. In the 1970s the government and the people supported the Black majorities in neighbouring countries who were engaged in armed struggles against oppressive white settler regimes. Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, acted as the headquarters for clandestine shortwave radio broadcasts supporting these wars of African liberation. In transmissions of solidarity and strategy sent across borders, the sound of gunfire was a form of station identification, heard here among victory celebrations and swarming mosquitoes. Collectivities float across the airwaves: clouds of insects, armies and colonies and communities of people, soloist and chorus in call and response, the undercurrent of winds and rivers, flocks of birds. For the Tonga of Southern Province, birds are associated with spirits and the women who perform rainmaking rituals with them. Tuning into the Zambezi Valley in the 2020s, we catch voices of women's empowerment amidst fragments of an ongoing community radio revitalization movement. New volunteer-run stations are broadcasting on FM in areas where Internet and cell phone service are sketchy or nonexistent, but most households own at least one radio. Questions asked by Brooklyn College anthropology students are answered by students and radio producers in the Zambezi Valley in an exchange of audio letters, part of a co-production with Claudia Wegener (a.k.a. radio continental drift). In the coda we return to the early years of Zambian freedom and independence, as the tape plays backwards again and the individual voices of the original recording multiply to form a nation.Birds: Macaulay Library, Cornell University Ornithology LabClandestine shortwave recordings: Interval Signals OnlineClips: Radio Zambia, Radio Chikuni, Sinazongwe Community Radio Voices:Maseline Mureles (Narrator), Chisa Mwiinde, ManJun Luo, Anna Kowalski, Miriam Salama, Arilda Hyka, Galit Mamrout, Lucia Munenge, Megi Murati, Meggie Cheng, Mrs. Banda Ndeti, Nosiku Mundia, Margaret Munkuli, Monica Siabunkululu, Patience KabukuThanks: Claudia Wegener, Zongwe FM, Zubo Trust for Women, Brooklyn College, Stuart Fowkes, Anna Stereopolou, Wave Farm, Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force, National Endowment for the Humanities Radio & Decolonization workshop.Bantu songs from Zambia reimagined by Tom Miller.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Msgr. Esseff reflects on the life and teachings of St. Padre Pio. He shares personal stories from his relationship with St. Pio. Gospel LK 8:16-18 Jesus said to the crowd: “No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away.” The post St. Padre Pio and the Healing of the Church – Building a Kingdom of Love with Msgr.
