For children and their families dealing with a cancer diagnosis, there are a myriad of variables that have to be navigated.Ohio is working on helping families with that process, so that no family or child gets left behind. An organization called AngelWorks is also helping to achieve that mission.As society largely moves to being paperless, ancient methods of paper making contain rituals rich in cultural heritage. Hanji, an ancient Korean way of making paper, is meditative for some and is being kept alive by an artist from northern Ohio.This Saturday is National Talk Like a Pirate Day. Pirate life is a romantic way to live. A passion for pirates is what inspired two Buckeye Lake residents to start the Buckeye Lake Pirate Festival.Guests:Ellie Hite, director and founder, AngelWorksAimee Lee, award-winning artist and authorCaptain Kelly Collins, co-director, Buckeye Lake Pirate FestivalNina Collins, co-director, Buckeye Lake Pirate Festival

The business press loves a simple story. A new product launches, a stock drops, a company stumbles, and the headlines write themselves. But what gets lost in that noise is the deeper logic driving these events, the category design lens that explains not just what happened, but why it matters. From the Apple Fold to the so-called SaaS apocalypse to Nike’s staggering collapse, the real stories are hiding just beneath the surface of what most journalists choose to cover. This episode of The Pirate Street Journal breaks down three major business topics through that lens. Christopher, Eddie, and Bri take a hard look at the week’s most important business news and share what the Wall Street Journal and the rest of the mainstream press consistently miss. The result is a faster, sharper, and more honest read on how business actually works. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Apple Fold: Seven Years Late and Still Winning Apple entered the foldable smartphone category with the iPhone Duo at a starting price of $1,999, seven years after Samsung launched its first foldable in 2019. The category has actually been shrinking, with shipments down 15% in the first half of the year. Yet analyst firm IDC projects Apple will capture 44% of all foldable revenue in 2026, before the device even has ten weeks on shelves. The pricing strategy here is no accident. By launching a $2,000 to $3,000 device alongside modest $100 price increases on its Pro lineup, Apple made those increases feel minor by comparison. This is a well-worn Apple Playbook: enter late, enter premium, and use design and ecosystem to cement a category that others started but could not scale.   Tim Cook’s Legacy and the AI Problem Apple Cannot Ignore Tim Cook took over Apple when its market cap sat just below $400 billion. Fifteen years later, that number has grown to approximately $4.5 trillion, an addition of $4 trillion in market value by a non-founder CEO. That run is arguably the most impressive in modern business history, yet the business press has largely failed to frame it that way or even acknowledge it plainly. The caution flag, however, is real. John Turnus is a hardware executive stepping into the top role at a moment when the defining battle in tech is being fought in AI and software. Siri continues to underperform against competitors like Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok. Apple’s greatest asset in the AI race is consumer trust, but trust alone will not build the context layer that makes AI outputs meaningful and reliable.   The SaaS Apocalypse That Never Came and What It Actually Reveals When AI coding tools from Anthropic and OpenAI exceeded expectations earlier this year, investors panicked and Salesforce stock dropped roughly 30%. The narrative was simple: if AI can write software, enterprise SaaS is finished. Then the earnings reports came in. Salesforce beat numbers and raised its outlook. ServiceNow, Workday, and Snowflake all came in strong, crediting AI as a driver rather than a threat. What the panic missed is that enterprise software companies are sitting on decades of proprietary intellectual capital. That data, combined with the context and meaning built around it, is exactly what AI needs to produce trusted business outcomes rather than generic responses. No broad-based large language model can replicate 40 years of domain-specific knowledge overnight, and enterprises are not switching vendors when they have one clear partner to hold accountable for results.

This week, Tracy and Damien explore JT Music's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Rap—a bass-heavy fusion of pirate sea shanty, nerdcore rap and meticulously edited game cinematics.Damien explains how the video combines cinematic sequences with specially captured gameplay footage, transforming Black Flag's naval battles, parkour and pirate action into a tightly choreographed musical performance. Tracy examines JT Music's distinctive place between machinima, fan filmmaking and video-game music, comparing their approach with creators such as Dan Bull, The Stupendium, Rockit Music and Harry101UK.The discussion highlights the extraordinary precision of the audiovisual editing: cannon fire becomes percussion, character gestures embody the lyrics, and combat, camera movement and typography are all synchronized to the rhythm. We also consider how this new version revisits JT Music's original Black Flag rap, reflecting both the improved visual quality of the game and the development of the duo's creative craft.Finally, we reflect on JT Music's enduring success. Having begun as JT Machinima in 2008, the group has retained its machinima roots while continually reinventing its signature form of character-driven game rap.Key Time Stamps -01:00 – Tracy welcomes Damien and explains Phil and Ricky's absence01:43 – Introducing Assassin's Creed Black Flag and JT Music's new rap04:57 – JT Music's distinctive blend of rap, fan filmmaking and machinima07:41 – The editing craft that makes the game appear to perform the song08:05 – Who are JT Music?

Dolly Parton was more than a voice. She was a strategist, a visionary, and arguably one of the greatest creator capitalists in the history of the entertainment industry. While the world mourned her passing and celebrated her extraordinary musical catalog, the most important tribute may be the one that focuses not on her songs, but on the decision she made decades before most people had ever heard her name. Long before the creator economy had a name, Dolly Parton was already living by its highest principles. In 1967, before she had a single top ten hit as a recording artist, she founded her own publishing company with her uncle Bill Owens and began owning the copyright to everything she wrote. That single decision would go on to shape the entire trajectory of her career, her wealth, and her legacy in ways that continue to compound to this day. This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of The Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Dolly Parton Said No to Elvis and Changed Everything When Elvis Presley expressed interest in recording “I Will Always Love You,” Dolly Parton was initially thrilled. That excitement faded quickly when she learned his condition. He wanted half the songwriting profits on a song he had absolutely nothing to do with creating. She said no, a decision that shocked nearly everyone around her at the time. That refusal was not reckless. It was rooted in financial security she had quietly built for herself through royalties and intellectual property ownership. Because she had already established her publishing company years earlier, she had the runway to walk away from one of the biggest stars in the world. When Whitney Houston recorded the song for “The Bodyguard” soundtrack in 1992, Dolly Parton owned one hundred percent of it and earned an estimated ten million dollars from that single cover in the 1990s alone.   Owning Your Value in a Changing Economy Dolly Parton understood something that most creators are only beginning to grasp today. The real shift happening in modern business is not simply about artificial intelligence. It is about moving away from being paid for your time as a proxy for value, and toward being paid for the actual value you create and own. Paul McCartney once said that he and John Lennon simply did not know you could own songs. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards lost their early catalog too. Dolly Parton did not make that mistake. She built an intellectual capital foundation so strong that it funded Dollywood, the Imagination Library, and a net worth estimated by Forbes at around 450 million dollars, all stemming from the simple act of owning what she created from the very beginning.   A Legacy That Reaches Far Beyond Music Dolly Parton turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom three times. She declined once because her husband was ill, once because of Covid restrictions, and again because she did not want her acceptance to be interpreted as a political statement. In a world obsessed with personal branding and self-promotion, she consistently chose mission over recognition. Her philanthropy was as strategic as her business decisions. She helped fund Moderna’s Covid vaccine research, launched the Imagination Library which has distributed over 330 million books to children, and created an economic ecosystem through Dollywood that supports 23,000 jobs and generates 1.8 billion dollars in annual economic impact. Dolly Parton wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You in the same evening, turned down Elvis, said yes to Whitney, and quietly became one of the most financially powerful and generous artists the world has ever seen.

The Rebel Alliance, now New Republic has established themselves as a legitimate governing body, having defended the galaxy against three separate invasions in just as many months, even making peace between waring Ninja and Pirate aliens that had been waring for centuries. Of course none of this would have been possible without the actions of the famous Fuzz Club: a collection of aliens, mostly fuzzy, from different walks of life, who assembled together to kill slavers, and hold concerts (the ratio of which tends to vary depending on the time.) As such, the Fuzz Club has been given their latest mission: as representatives of the New Republic, they are sent to deal with the Hutt Cartel with a single warning. Stop slaving or we unleash the Fuzz Club on you. The mission starts with a briefing... eventually.

The business world rarely slows down, and this week was no exception. From Meta’s landmark legal settlement to Nvidia’s jaw-dropping earnings report, the headlines are telling a story that most mainstream media outlets are getting completely wrong. When you look at these events through a category design lens, the picture becomes much clearer and far more alarming than the surface-level reporting suggests. Understanding what these stories actually mean requires stepping back from the company-focused narrative and asking bigger questions. Who is winning? Who is losing trust? And more importantly, what does this mean for the future of AI and the people building it? This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of The Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Meta’s Settlement Is Cheaper Than It Looks Meta agreed to pay 48 states a headline number of $18 billion, but the real guaranteed figure is $12.7 billion paid out over ten years. With Meta generating approximately $200 billion in annual revenue, this settlement amounts to roughly 1% of a single year’s earnings. That is not accountability. That is the cost of doing business for a company that knowingly harmed children and only stopped when forced to by the courts. The parental controls included in the deal are genuinely positive steps. Default two-hour daily limits for teenagers, overnight app blocking, and school-hour notification silencing are all meaningful changes. However, Meta only agreed to these reforms as Zuckerberg was days away from testifying, with damning internal evidence about to become public. The timing tells you everything you need to know about their motivations.   The Trust Problem Meta Created for All of AI For nearly two decades, Meta asked users to trust them with their most personal relationships, interests, and daily habits. They responded to that trust by prioritizing engagement and profit over the wellbeing of children. Internal data reached Zuckerberg directly, and the company continued anyway. That is the established and repeated fact at the center of this settlement. Now Zuckerberg is publishing manifestos about personal superintelligence, promising AI tutors, AI lawyers, and AI companions woven into every part of daily life. The AI systems being built today will know more about you than Google, Facebook, and Apple combined. The central question facing every user is simple: who do you trust with that level of intimacy? Meta’s track record provides a very clear answer.   Nvidia Shows Us What Trustworthy AI Leadership Looks Like While Meta’s story is one of eroded trust, Nvidia’s $96 billion quarter tells a completely different story. Jensen Huang has built the most valuable company on earth by being transparent, self-deprecating, and genuinely committed to expanding opportunity rather than concentrating power. He openly admits mistakes, eats street food, and tells people the truth about AI and jobs in a way that his counterparts refuse to do. The contrast between Jensen Huang and the Darth Vaders of AI could not be sharper. While Zuckerberg publishes warnings about concentrated power in the same week he settles a case about abusing it, Jensen is out building bridges across the entire industry stack. The AI conversation desperately needs his voice front and center, pushing the fear-driven narratives aside and replacing them with the kind of grounded, honest leadership that actually builds lasting trust.

The Los Angeles Lakers have just been sold for $12.5 billion, the highest price ever paid for any sports franchise in history. This blockbuster deal has sent shockwaves through the worlds of finance, technology, and sports culture alike. What does it mean when the most iconic basketball team on the planet changes hands under these circumstances? To understand the full picture, we need to look at who is buying, why they are buying, and what happens to a legendary franchise when its new owners are not fans of the game. Mark Walter had purchased the Los Angeles Lakers roughly a year ago at a $10 billion valuation, which was itself a record at the time. Josh Kushner, who runs Thrive Capital, one of OpenAI’s largest shareholders, called Walter out of the blue and made an offer. Within 72 hours, a deal was struck. The team was never officially on the market. Walter, facing regulatory scrutiny from both the US attorney in Manhattan and the SEC over billions in loans tied to his conglomerate, needed liquidity fast. The sale was as much about financial pressure as it was about opportunity. This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of The Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Financial Risks Behind the Los Angeles Lakers Deal Kushner is placing the Los Angeles Lakers inside a vehicle called Thrive Eternal, a fund designed specifically for assets he believes are immune to technological disruption. This is a fascinating strategic bet. The Lakers sit alongside a portfolio stuffed with AI winners, and buyers of sports franchises can write off the entire purchase price over 15 years, generating roughly $830 million per year in paper losses. That tax advantage alone makes the acquisition a compelling financial instrument, not just a trophy asset. However, the financial engineering behind this deal raises serious concerns. The NBA limits how much institutional investors can contribute and caps team debt at $475 million. This is the inverse of the traditional private equity playbook, where firms minimize their own capital and maximize leverage. Kushner and his partners do not have $12.5 billion sitting in cash. They are taking on enormous concentrated risk, and the question of who their exit liquidity will eventually be points uncomfortably toward retail investors when their AI holdings eventually go public.   What Happens When Non-Fans Own Iconic Teams The Bus family owned the Los Angeles Lakers since 1979. That is nearly five decades of stewardship rooted in a genuine connection to the team and the city. When passionate fans own teams, good things tend to happen. Mark Cuban sat courtside and screamed at referees because he cared. Ryan Smith bought the Utah Jazz and poured money into player facilities, hired legends like Danny Ainge, and helped transform Salt Lake City into a genuine entertainment destination. These are owners who think about championships and community, not just cashflow. When financial engineers own teams, the calculus changes entirely. Ticket prices rise. Star players get traded to cut costs. Stadium deals extract money from cities and municipalities that can barely afford it. The priority stack becomes clear: owners first, players second, cities third, and fans last. The Los Angeles Lakers are now a hedge against technological disruption inside a portfolio built by people whose primary expertise is in venture capital and artificial intelligence, not basketball. Whether that leads to winning or just profitable mediocrity remains to be seen.   The Broader Warning Signs for the Sports Economy The Los Angeles Lakers sale does not exist in a vacuum. Across the NBA, a pattern is emerging that looks uncomfortably familiar. Team valuations have skyrocketed from hundreds of millions to tens of billions in a remarkably short period of time. Owners who bought at peak valuations are already showing signs of financial strain. Matt Ishbia bought the Phoenix Suns for around $4 billion by pledging his mortgage company as collateral and betting that interest rates would fall. They did not. He may now be facing pressure to sell stakes in the team. The S&P500 is up nearly 75 percent over the past three years, making wealthy investors feel flush and willing to take on risks they would normally avoid. But market runs do not last forever, and when the tide goes out, we find out who has been swimming without protection. The concentration of risk among sports franchise owners, combined with NBA rules that prevent traditional leverage strategies, creates a fragile ecosystem. The Los Angeles Lakers may be the most visible example of a much larger systemic stress building quietly beneath the surface of professional sports.

The business world was buzzing when Burger King posted 8.5% same-store sales growth in the US, beating McDonald’s by the widest margin in at least two years. Meanwhile, Wendy’s dropped 7%, losing its number two spot in American fast food. But is this turnaround as impressive as the headlines suggest? Through the lens of category design, the story looks very different from what most business journalists are telling you. On this episode of The Pirate Street Journal, Christopher , Eddie, and Bri break down what is really happening with Burger King and the fast food wars, why Reddit has become the most valuable and most manipulated room on the internet, and whether mascots are a genuine brand asset or just a sign that a company has nothing real to say. What emerged was a masterclass in how companies confuse marketing wins with actual category leadership. This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of The Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Burger King’s Growth Numbers Do Not Tell the Whole Story When Burger King rebuilt the Whopper with a premium bun, new mayo, and a box instead of a wrapper, it made headlines. CEO Tom Curtis started taking personal calls from customers, reportedly logging over 3,300 conversations. These are real operational improvements, and the marketing shift from stunt-driven content to customer-celebrating campaigns like “You Rule” shows genuine progress. However, as the panel pointed out, you do not deposit percentages into a bank account. Franchise profit per location actually dropped from roughly $205,000 to $185,000, hammered by record beef prices. The chain making less money per store is winning traffic, but not building wealth. Marketing can improve perception, but it cannot solve for a weak category position.   Why Burger King Cannot Win by Fighting for Number Two The deeper issue is that Burger King has spent decades trying to be a better version of McDonald’s rather than something genuinely different. McDonald’s has far more locations and is legendary for speed and consistency. Premium burger brands like Five Guys and Shake Shack own the taste-driven, quality-focused space. Burger King is caught in the middle, without a clear category to own. The contrast with In-N-Out Burger is striking. In-N-Out has been owned by one family since its founding, has never franchised, has never gone public, and operates with one of the simplest menus in fast food history. The result is that customers do not say they want a burger. They say they want In-N-Out. That is what a category of one looks like, and it is the standard Burger King should be measuring itself against.   What Reddit and Mascots Teach Us About Category Thinking The Reddit story carries a powerful lesson that connects directly to Burger King’s situation. Brands are paying agencies thousands of dollars a month to plant fake organic reviews on the one platform consumers trust precisely because nothing there is bought. The panel argued that the real opportunity on Reddit is not manipulation. It is listening. Angry customers are not indifferent customers. They are passionate ones who can be flipped into advocates with radical generosity and a genuine point of view. The mascot trend follows the same pattern. Crocs, Liberty Mutual, Stanley Black and Decker, and others are launching brand characters, but research shows a mascot needs more than three years of consistent use before it delivers measurable results. Most marketing teams do not have three years. Duolingo’s Green Owl succeeded because one person committed to it consistently over five years and built something culturally meaningful. A mascot, like any marketing asset, cannot substitute for a clear category. It can only amplify one that already exists.

Somali piracy is rising again. The buccaneers capitalize on security gaps, targeting cargo ships and demanding multi-million dollar ransoms. On Sunday, nine people were reportedly killed in a drone strike on a small boat off the coast of Somalia, in a series of attacks linked to the hijacking of a Cameroon-flagged vessel. And in Mozambique, a simple paper appointment book is helping tackle long clinic queues hoping to bring healthcare services closer to pregnant women Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba, Carolyne Kiambo and Blessing Aderogba Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: David Nzau Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla

Pirate Gold announced field spectral analysis has identified alunite and pyrophyllite alteration across more than 3 km of outcrop and sub-crop at its Clipper Brook target, located 12 km east of the Moby Dick copper-gold discovery within the Crippleback Intrusive Suite. CEO Denis Laviolette spoke to Mining Stock Daily. The alteration sits within a broader electromagnetic resistivity low spanning over 10 km, closely matching the geophysical signature that defined the 3,100 m by 850 m Moby Dick zone, where drilling previously returned 0.54% Cu Eq over 180.8 m, including 1.48% Cu Eq over 49.4 m. The company says the presence of alunite indicates limited erosion and a well-preserved mineral system, and with drill permits now in hand, Pirate Gold is preparing to test Clipper Brook as a second district-scale target on the property.

Started the week with that live-streamed school shooting in the Philippines, and then talked about the return of the Somali pirates. Also the Lindsay Clancy trial, Trump visa ban blocked by judges, Japan guy leaves kid behind to summit Mt. Fuji, and a 75-year old priest caught receiving oral sex in a public park by a male registered sex offender.

On November 22, 1987, Chicago sportscaster Dan Roan was recapping a Bears game when WGN suddenly went black. Fifteen seconds later, millions of viewers were staring at a man wearing a rubber Max Headroom mask. Twenty-eight seconds later, he vanished. Then, two hours later, he did it again—this time hijacking a Doctor Who broadcast for ninety bizarre seconds of distorted jokes, obscure WGN references, and a woman with a flyswatter. The FCC and FBI investigated, but nearly forty years later, nobody knows who did it. Tonight, we investigate the Max Headroom signal intrusion: one of the strangest unsolved crimes in television history, committed by someone who may have known far more about WGN than he should have.

The business world is obsessed with who has the biggest AI model, the fastest chips, and the most impressive benchmarks. But the real question shaping the next decade of technology is not about computing power. It is about trust. Meta recently made headlines when Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word manifesto outlining his vision for democratizing artificial intelligence, and at the same time announced plans to spend up to $145 billion on data centers. Meanwhile, LinkedIn is grappling with an AI content crisis that reveals just how confused platforms are about the role of artificial intelligence in human communication. These stories are connected, and understanding them through a category design lens changes everything about how you see them. This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Zuckerberg Meta’s Big Vision Has a Bigger Problem Zuckerberg’s manifesto is genuinely compelling as a piece of category design. He frames a problem, presents a new vision for the future, and positions Meta as the company that will put artificial intelligence into the hands of everyone. That is textbook category design thinking, and directionally, much of what he writes makes a great deal of sense. The problem is that the person delivering this vision is Zuckerberg himself. Meta’s business model is built on advertising, and advertising gets more profitable the more intimately the platform knows you. No matter how inspiring the language in a 6,500-word essay, the underlying give-to-get dynamic remains deeply unfavorable to the user, and a history of privacy scandals makes it nearly impossible to take the trust language seriously.   The AI Abundance Argument and Why It Falls Short One of the more attractive ideas in Zuckerberg’s manifesto is the concept of AI abundance, the idea that everyone should have access to powerful artificial intelligence tools for free or at very low cost. On the surface, this sounds generous and even visionary. But abundance without accountability is not a category strategy. It is a data acquisition strategy dressed up in philosophical language. Compare this to what companies like Google have done with moonshot projects such as Waymo and AlphaFold. These initiatives demonstrate a give-to-get dynamic that at least gestures toward broader human benefit. Meta has consistently struggled to articulate what the consumer actually receives beyond the product itself. The metaverse is the clearest example of a massive investment that never produced a meaningful answer to the question of what it was for.   LinkedIn’s AI Slop Problem and the Scarlet Letter Trap LinkedIn is now reporting that 41% of long-form posts on the platform are entirely AI generated, and the company has introduced a button allowing users to flag content they suspect was written by artificial intelligence. On the surface this sounds like a reasonable response to a real problem. In practice, it is a dangerous overreaction that punishes legitimate creators alongside lazy ones. The future of creating everything is vibe creating, meaning humans working in genuine collaboration with AI to produce ideas, arguments, and content that reflect real thought and real points of view. Labeling that output as synthetic or slop is the equivalent of telling someone their spreadsheet contains synthetic math. If a piece of content is unhelpful or obvious, the solution is an unfollow button, not an AI scarlet letter that penalizes the tool rather than the thinking behind it.

In this special 7,000+ word extended autopsy set to the aggressive thrash metal of golden-era Metallica, I dismantle the terminal rot, financial death spirals, and internal cartel wars tearing the Russian Federation apart.From 20-kilometer hallucinations on Putin's desk maps and university trick-contracts sending medical students to the front, to 1,400km drone voids over Bashkortostan, the 6.5 trillion ruble deficit, and Tatiana Montyan's violent collision with her own FSB masters. We take an extensive deep-dive into the dynastic panic in Grozny, where Ramzan Kadyrov is hoarding a pristine 36,000-man Praetorian Guard for the upcoming North Caucasus war.Finally, we bring the hammer down with an unvarnished tribute to Anna Politkovskaya and Boris Nemtsov—the journalists and visionaries who saw the dragon in the room long before the world woke up.Car4Ukraine Eastern Border Summer Campaign! https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/summer-sunshine-trucks-2026-eastern-border Become our patron: https://www.patreon.com/theeasternborder Merch store + another option for memberships: https://theeasternborder-shop.fourthwall.com/ Follow what's going on here in the very border of Eastern Europe: https://bsky.app/profile/theeasternborder.lv Download all episodes for free on our website; pictures accompanying certain episodes can be found there as well! http://theeasternborder.lv/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.
