Moneda Moves is back for Latino Heritage Month and this season centers on a guiding question: who gets trusted in the U.S. economy right now and how is that trust built? Throughout the month, we will be speaking with experts across business, politics, ecosystem building and social justice to explore that question more deeply.María Teresa Kumar is an Emmy-nominated MSNBC contributor and founding President and CEO of Voto Latino, who since 2004 has raised over $75 million to build the country's largest Latinx voter registration and advocacy organization, registering more than 600K new voters ahead of 2020, and whose pioneering use of technology, social media and celebrity earned her recognition from Fast Company and Elle.In our Moneda Moves conversation, we speak about how growing up an immigrant shaped her thinking about power and trust, and what makes someone trustworthy in public life. With her experience she is able to identify the intersection between politics and money and where trust is breaking down, and how institutions build credibility with historically excluded communities. This episode was recorded earlier this spring, but especially as we approach midterm elections, it connects civic participation to Latino economic power amid federal policy volatility and what comes next.Tune in to hear how Voto Latino has built trust with Latino voters over the last 20+ years and what's next.Follow Maria Teresa on Instagram: @mariateresakumarFollow Moneda Moves on Instagram: @monedamovesFollow your host Lyanne Alfaro on Instagram: @lyannealfaroMain podcast theme song from Premium Beat.

Send us some fan mail! (but we can't reply :( )Ariel Anderssen joins us this episode for a conversation about kink, identity, and finding a place to belong. Ariel, a BDSM model and author of Playing to Lose and Dirty, shares how she discovered her interests, found community, and built a life around a part of herself she once thought she had to keep secret.We also explore why trauma does not define someone's sexuality, the complicated path from a fundamentalist religious upbringing to self-acceptance, and how Ariel and her husband navigated consensual non-monogamy through difficult conversations, guilt, and jealousy. Ariel's Pluggables: XWebsitePre-order DirtyPatreon Good Girls & Boys & Everyone in between! - Adalia's Daddy- Alanah- Andy- Ann- Anne- Annie- Autumn- Avi- Axel- Bacon- Ben- Ben- BerkeleyGirl- Carolyn- Carolina- CatNamedEaster - Carrie- Charley- Chloe- Cool Pseudonym- DD Lifestyle- Dells- Diane- DME- Elliot- Elsa- Em- Eva- EvitaChiquita- Icse- Jack A- Jared- John- Jonathon- js4n6- JustPlainPhil- K- Katie- Justin- Lauren- Lena- Mako- Mama Cat- Margot- Mary- Melissa- Michael- Mija- Nathan- Noah- Oh-tee-kay- Scott- Sir Galahad- Stephen- Sylvia- TodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/sipsandsmacksTumblr: @adaliak@rexismycopilotEmail:sipsandsmacks@gmail.comInstagram:@sipsandsmacksWebsite:https://www.sipsandsmacks.comIntro and outro music is "Badly Behaved" and licensed through Premium Beat

Moneda Moves is back in 2026 for Latino Heritage Month: September 15 to October 15.In this era, Moneda Moves is talking about the intersection of capital and trust. Who has it, who's asked to give it, and how it gets built inside the big ecosystems that decide where money goes.Latino entrepreneurs start businesses at some of the highest rates in the country. The capital rarely follows at the same pace. So we asked a simple question across every conversation: what does it take to build trust on purpose, and how do we use it to create a more equitable ecosystem for Latinos and other underfunded entrepreneurs doing great work?Most people enter venture without a roadmap. Lolita Taub has sat in every chair: founder, angel, LP, GP and ecosystem builder.She's the General Partner at Ganas Ventures, where she writes $100K checks into pre-seed and seed community-driven software companies. Over nearly 20 years across big tech, startups and venture, she's invested in more than 100 companies, including Brex and AngelList. She co-founded The Community Fund and has built a community of more than 100,000 founders, funders and friends.Forbes named her to its Culture 50. ¡HOLA! counted her among its 100 Latina Powerhouses. She received the Stella Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award and has spoken at SXSW, Stanford, Harvard, TEDx and Cannes Lions.She's a dual US-Mexico citizen raised in South Central Los Angeles. Today she lives in San Diego.We talked about her book, What Actually Matters: Startups, Capital, and the Rules Nobody Taught Us, out September 15. It's a practical guide to venture for people who didn't inherit a seat at the table.We started with why she got into investing and what a good investor owes the wider ecosystem. From there, we walked through the chairs she covers in the book and how ecosystem builders create infrastructure that outlasts a single cycle.Then we got into the thing that shapes everything: most venture deals still move through warm introductions.That makes trust the real currency. It works like a distribution system. Lolita's argument is that you can build it on purpose instead of waiting to be let in. For her, community is capital, and she explained what a real one is built on.Tune in to hear how you can build credibility in venture and what's next for Lolita.Follow Lolita on Instagram: @lolitataubFollow Moneda Moves on Instagram: @MonedaMovesFollow your host Lyanne Alfaro on Instagram: @LyanneAlfaroMain podcast theme song from Premium Beat.

Send us some fan mail! (but we can't reply :( )What do you wish you'd known when you first realized this part of yourself? We asked our Smack Pack and the biggest themes that kept coming up were:You need the right words before you can explain what you want.Community makes the whole thing less scary.Not every vanilla partner will get it, and that's not a failure.A lot of what we think is “weird” is actually just unspoken.So many of us spent years thinking we were alone when really we just needed language, patience, and people who didn't make us feel broken. Remember that if you're still figuring it out, you're not behind or failing! There's still so much to learn about ourselves. Episode References: Please Discipline Me: Persuading Your Partner (Blogspot)Patreon Good Girls & Boys & Everyone in between! - Adalia's Daddy- Alanah- Andy- Ann- Anne- Annie- Autumn- Avi- Axel- Bacon- Ben- Ben- BerkeleyGirl- Carolyn- Carolina- CatNamedEaster - Carrie- Charley- Chloe- Cool Pseudonym- DD Lifestyle- Dells- Diane- DME- Elliot- Elsa- Em- Eva- EvitaChiquita- Icse- Jack A- Jared- John- Jonathon- js4n6- JustPlainPhil- K- Katie- Justin- Lauren- Lena- Mako- Mama Cat- Margot- Mary- Melissa- Michael- Mija- Nathan- Noah- Oh-tee-kay- Scott- Sir Galahad- Stephen- Sylvia- TodPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/sipsandsmacksTumblr: @adaliak@rexismycopilotEmail:sipsandsmacks@gmail.comInstagram:@sipsandsmacksWebsite:https://www.sipsandsmacks.comIntro and outro music is "Badly Behaved" and licensed through Premium Beat

Bruce S. Allardice joins us this week to discuss the Chicago White Sox in the years immediately after the Black Sox scandal that tainted the 1919 World Series. Allardice is the author of After the Black Sox: The Chicago White Sox in Transition, 1920-1926 (McFarland Press 2026). The discussion covers the World Series scandal, the players involved, the "Clean Sox" - players like Dickie Kerr and Eddie Collins that were not involved in the fix, and the White Sox in the years that follow the team being decimated by the lifetime suspensions.Bruce S.

Most motion designers add sound design at the very end of a project. But Joe Basile, aka The Chicken, says it should start at the very beginning. And once you hear why, the sequencing is hard to unsee.In this episode of the Styleframe Saturdays podcast, we sit down with award-winning sound designer and composer Joe Basile to explore what happens when audio and motion design collide from the very beginning of a project. Joe breaks down and reveals the sonic philosophy behind his Favorite Mix, including a technique borrowed directly from The Shawshank Redemption to transition music from non-diegetic to diegetic sound.From finding rhythm hidden inside an animation before a single note is played, to knowing exactly when to bring a sound designer into the room, this conversation will shift how you hear your own work.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro0:37 – Meet Joe Basile: The Chicken16:25 – Original Music vs. Sound Design vs. Sonic Branding21:52 – The Favorite Mix: Crack by Johan Eriksson23:55 – The Shawshank Technique: Diegetic vs. Non-diegetic Music28:53 – How the Attention Economy is Changing Audio Storytelling37:50 – When Should You Bring Sound Design into a Project?40:14 – The "Demo Love" Trap Explained43:23 – Pareidolia: Finding Rhythm Inside Animation53:54 – The Noise Experiment That Won a Motion Award57:03 – Challenges & Rewards58:43 – Favorite Mix Because…CONNECT & FOLLOW:Spotify → https://spoti.fi/3K8UDd7Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/styleframe-saturdays/id1607658120Amazon Music → https://amzn.in/d/0cziMYRNGUEST LINKS/RESOURCES:Joe Basile's Website: https://www.thechicken.net/Cool Edit Pro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_AuditionWestern Carolina University: https://www.wcu.edu/Antfood: https://www.antfood.com/Source Connect: https://www.source-elements.com/products/source-connect/Johan Eriksson: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiA“Crack” by Johan Eriksson: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiAThe Shawshank Redemption: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiASteve Reich: https://stevereich.com/“It's Gonna Rain” (1965) by Steve Reich: https://stevereich.com/composition/its-gonna-rain/Hannah Churn: https://www.hannahchurn.com/Todd Churn: https://toddchurn.com/“Night Lights” by Hannah & Todd Churn: https://nightlights.tv/“The Breakout” by Mantas GR: https://mantasgr.com/the-breakoutAdobe Photoshop: https://photoshop.adobe.com/?promoid=HHJ4XB3V&mv=other&mv2=ahome&lang=enAdobe After Effects: https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html*Riverside: https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=styleframesatLofi Cassette by Harrison Amer (theme music licensed by Premiumbeat.com, https://www.premiumbeat.com/home)Permissions granted by the artist(s).Our podcast celebrates Motion Ideation — the raw brainstorming, early-stage thinking and lightbulb moments that shape everything before a single design or keyframe exists.

Between players jumping contracts and entangling themselves in gambling scandals; the lack of a clear, consistent enforcement authority and conference (league) realignments, one could easily confuse current state of the NCAA with the chaotic state of 19th Century baseball.This week, John T. Fortunato joins us to make sense of college sports today. Fortunato is a professor of communications and media management at Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business. His research interests include sports, broadcasting & communication and public relations. He comments on a wide range of topics, including name, image & likeness; the Brendan Sorsby and Darian Mensah controversies, the increasingly toothless NCAA enforcement arm, and whether or not Congress has the power to bring order to the anarchy. Professor Fortunato at FordhamJohn Fortunato, An Ethical Application to Student-Athlete Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), Journal of Intercollegiate Sport.Errata: The University of Houston played Idaho, not an Ivy League school, in March Madness's first round in 2026 - you'd think a "basketball junkie" would remember that.

Chapter 1 - Paul Hofmann, Ph.D., Associate Provost for International Affairs at the University of Louisville and Society for American Baseball Research member, joins us this week to discuss Charlie Ferguson, a forgotten 19th Century baseball star. Ferguson played four seasons in his early 20s with the Philadelphia Quakers (now, Phillies) in the National League and by 1887, Ferguson's final season, he emerged as a rising two-way star, excelling both at the plate (.337 average) and on the mound (99 wins over 4 seasons). Ferguson died from typhoid fever in April 1888 after a month-long battle with the illness. He had turned 25 years old just two weeks prior. Ferguson was regarded at the time and for many years after as one of the greatest players in baseball history.Chapter 2 - Another gambling scandal, only not in professional baseball."Charlie Ferguson," by Paul Hofmann, at https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Charlie-Ferguson/ (accessed June 9, 2026).Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if available), through our store at Bookshop.org.

This week Work Of Wrestling host Tim Kail examines the role of motivation in the artist's life. First, he argues why you should stop listening to motivational speakers, successul celebrities, and social media gurus about motivation. Next, he explains how he's baked his artistic practice into his daily life thus removing the need to stay constantly motivated. Then he argues the artist examine their relationship with competition, and find a more sustainable fuel for the creative engine. And, finally, he discusses the ultimate motivating force, how artists are like explorers attempting to better comprehend the splendor of the real world. Follow on social media @WorkOfWrestling. Give the podcast a five star rating and review in Apple Podcasts. Music provided by Premium Beat.
