What can you do to help stop our horses in this country from going to slaughter? Horses from every discipline, age, and background are being shipped for slaughter every year. In 2024 alone, 20,000 horses were killed. Many people do not realize how easily a Thoroughbred, a child's lesson pony, a show horse, or even a mustang can be sold at auction and bought by kill buyers.   In this episode, I talk with filmmaker and advocate Ashley Avis, creator of Black Beauty and Wild Beauty, about her newest project: The Lost Horses, a national campaign designed to help finally pass the SAFE Act. Ashley shares how her work documenting wild horse roundups led her into the undercover world of Texas auctions, where she witnessed the brutality of the slaughter pipeline firsthand. Her team is now using cinematic storytelling, celebrity-voiced PSAs, and coordinated outreach to bring widespread attention to this issue.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/61

Another engaging riff with David Storey, Boston College philosophy professor and Spartan Race athlete. This time I take center stage. We explore why Americans are collectively depressed, why Democrats ignore power politics, why turning off phones and turning toward each other feels great, and how all of this is related.

Send us a textA classroom can be a launchpad for climate action when reading meets real life. We sit down with Miami-area educator Catherine Manfra to explore how English language arts becomes a powerful space for climate literacy, creative expression, and student agency—especially in a region living with hurricanes, sea-level rise, and rapid development at the edge of the Everglades.Catherine walks us through her Earth Day unit anchored by Hope Jahren's The Story of More and climate-focused poetry, showing how accessible science writing invites teens into complex topics without overwhelming them. From lunchroom showcases to one-minute PSAs, her students translate facts into story, practice tight writing and media literacy, and share concrete steps that counter defeatism. We also unpack how giving students information and choice sparks deeper research, community involvement, and everyday action.Beyond the classroom, we highlight the Stories-To-Live-By collective, a statewide network of teachers and researchers crafting place-based, multimodal approaches to climate education while navigating book bans and shifting policies. Catherine shares how the group's workshops and shared resources build confidence. She also talks about how the Fairchild Challenge debate strengthens ELA standards, STEM integration, and civic discourse by asking students to argue multiple sides of timely environmental issues. It's a hopeful blueprint for educators who want rigorous, inclusive climate literacies that prepare young people for a just, livable future.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review with your favorite climate literacy text or project idea. Your feedback helps us bring more teacher-tested practices to more classrooms.Catherine is a Florida native. Born in Hialeah, a suburb of Miami with a predominantly Hispanic community, she now lives in the Kendall area just south of Miami. She has seen Miami-Dade County continue to expand westward since her childhood, including encroachment on the Florida Everglades. The Florida Everglades are ecologically significant in their role as a subtropical wilderness, a habitat for many threatened and endangered species, and a provider of flood control, water filtration, and freshwater supply for millions of people. She became a part of the Stories-To-Live-By project by answering an initial online survey of teachers who incorporate environmental topics into their curriculum. After teaching all levels of high school English in public schools in Miami-Dade County for 22 years, Catherine now teaches at Palmer Trinity School, an independent private school. Additionally, Catherine is a part of the Junior League of Miami, a women's group that serves and focuses on women's and children's issues in the community from education to safety. To cite this episode: Persohn, L.

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption doesn't treat partnerships as a side project—they're the operating system. During this National Adoption Month and in this Nonprofit Power Week kickoff, Senior VP Jill Crumbacher shares how the Foundation builds relationships that move from a good idea to real results. Step one: align the people doing the work. “Our marketing and our development practice is under one department that I lead,” Jill explains. That single team design means awareness and revenue aren't competing—they're collaborating—so a PSA, a billboard, a direct-mail test, or an influencer post can ladder up to the same mission outcome.Jill dismantles the common myth that Wendy's alone funds the mission. Wendy's is a long-standing, values-matched partner, but the need—kids and teens waiting for family in the U.S. and Canada—calls for many hands. That's why DTFA manages a wide mix of partners each year: micro-influencers and media outlets, cause-aligned brands, and fundraising collaborators. To keep everything clear and friendly, they start with the right agreement for the moment—an approachable MOU for brand exchanges and content support; a fuller contract when dollars or large placements are involved. The paperwork isn't red tape—it's a map. Who does what, by when, with what approvals. Everyone can move faster because expectations are written down.Media is changing, and the Foundation adapts. Donated placements are still vital (think PSAs across billboards, airports, radio, and connected TV). But there's also a growing middle lane Jill calls “low bono”—discounted inventory that isn't free but is far below market. The team buys when the data says it's smart, especially in digital, and pairs that with donated reach for scale.Brand care is a shared responsibility. The Foundation reviews language and usage to protect its name and the Wendy's connection. If something flares online, they pick up the phone so partners aren't blindsided. That builds trust, and trust keeps doors open. Multi-year deals? They're great when they make sense, but Jill's team prefers to earn renewal through value rather than lock people in. The relationship stays fresh because both sides want to come back.Maybe the most refreshing part is Jill's take on celebrity. The organization has tested it; the results weren't lasting. The real wins come from people and brands who show up because they truly care. As Jill puts it, “You go further with the ones that are organic… when you're all in it about the mission.” Those partners bring energy, introduce new allies, and help the message travel farther.If you're rethinking how your organization shows up with partners—how you set expectations, share brand space, blend donated and paid reach, and keep everyone rowing in the same direction—this conversation is a ready-to-use roadmap for doing it well, and doing it together.#TheNonprofitShow #AdoptionMatters #NonprofitPartnershipsFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Scott Robinson fills in for Pat Walsh this 2025 Halloween night. We talk about frightening PSAs. Happy Halloween!

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down the reported survey sent out to Cleveland Browns fans, involving PSAs.

"[When] a lot of men think about prostate exams, they immediately think of the glove going on the hand of the physician, and they immediately clench. But really try to talk with them and discuss with them what some of the benefits are of understanding early detection. Even just having those conversations with their providers so that they understand what the risk and benefits are of having screening. And then educate patients on what a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal exam (DRE) actually are—how it happens, what it shows, and what the necessary benefits of those are," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer screening, early detection, and disparities.

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org Highlights From This Episode "The recommendations are men [aged] 45 who are at high risk, including African American men and men who have a first-degree relative who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer younger than 65 should go through screening. And men aged 40 at an even higher risk, these are the men that have that one first-degree relative who has had prostate cancer before 65. Screening includes the PSA blood test and a digital exam. Those are the screening recommendations, although they are a little bit controversial." TS 3:42 "You still see PSAs and DREs as the first line because they're easier for primary care providers to perform. ... Those are typically covered by insurance, so they still play that role in screening. But with the advent of MRIs and biomarkers, these have really helped refine that screening process and determine treatment options for our patients. Again, those patients who may be at a bit of a higher risk could go for an MRI or have biomarkers completed. Or if they're on that verge with their Gleason score, instead of doing a biopsy, they may send the patient for an MRI or do biomarkers for that patient. ... These updated technologies put [patients] a little bit more at ease that someone's watching what's going on, and they don't have to have anything invasive done to see where they're at with their staging." TS 4:35 "Disparities in screening access exist based on race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, education, and geography. It's really hard in rural areas to get primary care providers or urologists who can actually see these patients, [and] sometimes in urban areas. So socioeconomic status can affect that, but also where a person lives. African American men with lower incomes and people in rural areas face the greatest barriers to receiving screening. It's also important to encourage anyone with a prostate to be screened and offer gender-neutral settings for patients to feel comfortable." TS 7:50 "I think a lot of men feel like if they have no symptoms, they don't have prostate cancer ... so a lot of patients may put off screening because they feel fine, [they] haven't had any urinary symptoms, it doesn't run in their family. ...With prostate cancer, there usually are not symptoms that a patient's having—they may have some urinary issues or some pain—but it's not very frequent that they have that. So, just making sure our patients understand that even though they're not feeling something, it doesn't mean there's not something else going on there." TS 12:53 "Prostate cancer found at an early age can be very curable, so it's really important for men to have those conversations with their providers about the risk and benefits of screening. And anyone that we can help along the way to be able to have those conversations, I think is a great thing for oncology nurses to do." TS 15:44

Beloved, Life's hitting hard, stirring up fear that ripples through us all. But what if the false “division” story of millenia were a construct and we could see our present and future - differently? How the evolutionary events affect our energy and how we can choose a better path. Every soul picks its moment to leave—some finish their journey peacefully, others exit to spark a wake-up call, and some get caught in messy, manipulated endings. Either way, there's a deeper choice at play.Fear's a trap, keeping us stuck in division. Love's the real deal—energy never dies, it just shifts. When we lean into love, we see past the illusion of death.Charlie Kirk's death isnt just about loss—this has been an energetic catalyst - shaking the world up.We see this - first hand. Some division, some unity. Ultimately YOU choose. Follow your intuition on the story that is being told. Ask, is this true? Seem off? Follow the thread. The media loves to crank up the fear and division, but we've got power in where we put our focus. That shapes what's next.Think of Earth's energy like a big interconnected nervous system. Fear messes with it, disconnecting us from our core. Love pulls us back together. Choosing calm over chaos can change the whole vibe.THE HYPNOTIC RHYTHMSThe dark shadows induces people to drift through hypnotic rhythms as a translike state that keeps humanity asleep. And it's exactly how hypnosis works.As a CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST, I can tell you firsthand, this is real. And here's the truth. Every single one of us is under a form of hypnosis, whether we are conscious of it or not. I dont hypnotise, I UN-HYPNOTIZE clients. The trance you are in is determined by your dominant state of mind and frequency. That is how the devil grips 98% of humanity. It implants seeds of fear. Those fears crystallize into hypnotic rhythm and unconscious pattern of self-sabotage.And that rhythm locks people into cycles of misfortune, lack, and stagnation. Fear is the ultimate force that the devil uses to capture the minds of people in this world. There are six basic fears. The fear of poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of love, old age, and death.DEATH - CHARLIE'S DEATH - and the snare. Lock in FEAR.Take back your attention. Hypnotic rhythm is actually neutral. The same force that enslaves 98% of people can also liberate you. If you set in motion with the right aim, it becomes the rhythm that carries you to freedom. And if you've been paying attention, you already know the answer on how you wish to recreate a new life of whats next for YOU as we exit this old world. There is only one way to outwit the devil and avoid the hell it so proudly traps 98% of humanity in.Finding your passion, purpose and taking small actions - and releasing judgement of others. WATCH THE MOVIE IN THE WORLD. IT'S JUST THAT - A MOVIE that is evoking emotions in you to arise and release. Try breathing deep, meditating, or whatever grounds you. Notice the fear-driven stories, but don't let them pull you in. Your energy matters.A few people radiating love can outshine a ton of fear. If enough of us stay steady, we can nudge the world toward a better place—one rooted in unity and peace. Let's go for it.Truth is, we're all connected by love. This information would not have appeared in your reality if you were destined to be controlled by the devil forever. Be vigilant of what you give your attention to and know deep in your soul that with enough time and momentum, you will get so far ahead in reality that the devil will cower in your presence.Take these insights and apply them in your life.These events shake us, but they're also a chance to remember who we are. Stay grounded, shine bright, and let's build something beautiful together.Love you. KassandraI wanted to share this big picture (social media post) - literally and metaphorically - as we look at the great awakening and honoring GRIEF. The world is mourning not only the spirit and integrity of a man that stood his truth and first love (spirit)But for the awakening reality of the Deception and Denial.The world that we no longer give consent to.What we long for.Deception and Denial are what is created to reduce the pain.It's not working anymore.Judgement is externalized and someone else's fault.The Denial can feel like its easier, but it is required to look at the truth we're afraid to look at.We've bought into the promise of certainty of tomorrow.What are these belief wars?Here's my answer.....ponder. Drop YOURS IN THE COMMENTSBELIEF is a combination of thought and experience.Much of it is unconscious.MOST LIVE A LIFE NEVER TRACING BACK TO WHERE THESE WERE PLANTED.....FEAR is a mind focused emotion that deals with the unknown -that needs to be avoided at all cost.Fear is not the enemy - but the belief that you have to give up your power - and that is the only way you can deal with uncertainty of what is being manipulated.Trauma is a frozen flow of energy that is stuck that the mind cannot process.RIGHT NOW WE ARE ALL in the motion towards healing and balanceRelief comes at the threshold of the unknown and embracing the opportunity to see the resistance, remove judgment and get to the core of that in which we came from.LOVE, LIGHT AND CREATIONRIP to my heavenly brother Charlie -and my biological brother Kelsey and Sister Kristel with honoring the pain and strength of my parents.The Light Between is a reader-supported publication.

“Policies help make sure that we're giving patients the right education and discharge instructions. Radiation doesn't end when the syringe is empty. Patients go home with potential radioactive exposure. They need to know how to protect their families, what precautions to take, and what healthcare providers can do if something goes wrong—like a spill, extravasation, or even a pregnant staff member who's involved in the care. This isn't just a documentation exercise. It's about making sure every part of the system speaks the same language when it comes to safety, handling, and patient care,” ONS member Ella-Mae Shupe, MSN, RN, OCN®, nursing practice and professional development specialist for radiation oncology at Johns Hopkins Health System Sydney Kimmel Cancer Center based in Baltimore, MD, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about creating and implementing radiopharmaceutical policies and procedures.  Music Credit: “Fireflies and Stardust” by Kevin MacLeod  Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0   Earn 0.5 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by August 22, 2026.

Highlights From This Episode  “[Lutetium lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan] has shown so effective in clinical studies that the FDA recently approved expanded use, and it can now be given prior to chemotherapy.” TS 1:56 “There are typically three parts to a radiopharmaceutical. One is a radioisotope, which emits the radiation. The second is a targeting molecule, which directs the compound to a specific site. And the third is a linker that binds the isotope to the targeting molecules securely. The targeting molecule is usually a substance that binds specifically to receptors, antigens, or metabolic pathways that are overexpressed on cancer cells.” TS 2:08  “We have an interdisciplinary team involvement. There's a physicist, nurse, and provider that confirm lab values are within normal limits. The patient meets all the clinical and safety criteria for administration. Second is an IV placement where a nurse or clin tech starts the IV and verifies a strong blood return. This is critical to avoid extravasation, which can be harmful due to the vesicant-like nature of radiopharmaceuticals. And third, our patient voids immediately before the injection, which reduces bladder radiation dose. During the administration, our provider administers the radiopharmaceutical using a shielded syringe holder to reduce radiation exposure. The physicist remains present throughout the procedure. Lead aprons are worn by any team members close to the IV site, and then the Geiger counter is used by physics to measure ionizing radiation, which is done before, during, and after the procedure.” TS 3:28 “The policy we created doesn't just address general principles. It includes very specific guidance for both [radium 223 dichloride] and [lutetium lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan]. That includes everything from determining patient eligibility to completing the treatment directive, confirming patient identity, verifying delivery parameters, documenting the treatment itself, and ensuring the treatment environment is appropriate and safe. We've also built in drug- specific practices because [radium 223 dichloride] and [lutetium lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan] each come with their own considerations. This includes competencies for nursing, tailored patient education for each therapy, and an extravasation checklist that outlines what to do and who's responsible for tasks if infiltration occurs.”TS 11:24 “We created two separate versions [of an attestation model], one for clinical staff and one for non-clinical staff. Why include non-clinical staff? Because the risks extend beyond just the clinical team. What if environmental services comes in to clean and the patient has urinated on the floor? Or what if dietary delivers a tray and moves a urinal without knowing the risk? Or what if transport comes in and handles an incontinent brief without awareness? Each of these scenarios has potential for contamination and exposure. And that's exactly why education for all roles matter.” TS 15:22 “These are such an exciting treatment for our patients, that's not chemotherapy, that's not radiation, and their quality of life has been amazing. We have had patients coming in that could barely walk because of the pain from bone mets and after a few treatments, they're much better. We've had PSAs go from five, six hundreds down to 0.5, so we're seeing a lot of really good options for these patients and treatment.” TS 22:09

It's Wednesday, July 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Muslims kill Syrian pastor and 20 members of family Syrian Muslims took the life of a pastor and 20 members of his family over the weekend. Khalid Mezher was the pastor of the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church in southern Syria. He and his family converted to Christianity years ago out of a religious group in the area known as the Druze.  Violence between Druze militias and fighters from the Bedouin tribes, which are mostly Muslim, has taken the lives of hundreds of people over the last week.  Evangelical leader Johnnie Moore wrote on X, “Pastor Khalid died for a faith that many Christians hardly live. They are now martyrs who gave their entire lives, in difficult circumstances, to share the love of Jesus with their neighbors and beloved Syria.” In Matthew 16:25, Jesus said, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Puerto Rico protects kids from transsexual drugs and surgeries Puerto Rico is protecting children from transsexual drugs and surgeries. Last Wednesday, Republican Governor Jenniffer González Colón signed the Law for the Protection of the Health and Well-being of Minors in Puerto Rico. Harming children with such transsexual procedures is punishable by 15 years in prison.   Puerto Rico joins nearly 30 states in America with similar bans. Japan to invest $550 billion into America President Donald Trump secured a great deal with Japan, reports The Epoch Times. On Truth Social, President Trump announced, “We just completed a massive deal with Japan, perhaps the largest deal ever made. Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 billion into the United States, which will receive 90% of the profits. “This deal will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. There has never been anything like it. Perhaps most importantly, Japan will open their country to trade including cars and trucks, rice and certain other agricultural products. … Japan will pay reciprocal tariffs to the United States of 15%.” CBS/Skydance to pay Trump Foundation $36 million President Trump recently reached a $16 million settlement with Paramount, the parent of CBS News, over what he claimed was misleading editing of a pre-election interview with the Democratic candidate for president, Kamala Harris, reports The Guardian. While CBS initially called the lawsuit “completely without merit”, Paramount is in the midst of an $8 billion sale to the Hollywood studio Skydance Media, which requires the approval of federal regulators. President Trump has claimed that the future owner of CBS will provide him with $20 million worth of advertising and programming – days after the network canceled The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our historic lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount. … CBS and its corporate owners knew that they defrauded the American people, and were desperate to settle. Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million in settlement, and we also anticipate receiving $20 million more from the new owners, in advertising, PSAs, or similar programming, for a total of over $36 million dollars.” He added, “This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit. The Wall Street Journal, The Failing New York Times, The Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN, and all other Mainstream Media Liars, are ON NOTICE that the days of them being allowed to deceive the American people are OVER.” Federal workforce shrunk by 22,000 people A report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond found the U.S. federal workforce has shrunk by over 22,000 people from January to May of this year. Chuck Ezell, the Acting Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, said, “The American people deserve a government that is lean, efficient, and focused on core priorities. This data marks the first measurable step toward President Trumpʼs vision of a disciplined, accountable federal workforce and itʼs only the beginning.” Trump has also extended his hiring freeze on federal workers through October. Foreign buyers purchased $56 billion worth of U.S. homes The National Association of Realtors reports that foreign buyers purchased $56 billion worth of U.S. homes from April 2024 through March 2025. The number of home purchases by foreign buyers rose to over 78,000 this year. That's up from last year's report, but still down from 284,000 purchases in 2017.  The top destination states for foreign buyers include Florida, California, Texas, and New York. The most popular origin countries of international buyers are China, Canada, Mexico, India, and the United Kingdom. China's share of buyers has gone up significantly since 2007. Star from The Cosby Show drowned Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who portrayed the teenage son Theo Huxtable on “The Cosby Show”, died at 54 in an accidental drowning in Costa Rica, reports the Associated Press. Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Department said Warner drowned Sunday afternoon, July 20th on a beach on Costa Rica's Limón province when a current pulled him deeper into the ocean. His character, Theo, was the only son among four daughters in the household of Cosby's Cliff Huxtable and Phylicia Rashad's Clair Huxtable on the NBC sitcom. He was one of the prime representations of American teenage life and Black boyhood on a show that was the most popular in America for much of its run from 1984 to 1992. Christian golfer says priorities are faith, family, then golf And finally, Scottie Scheffler won the Open Championship earlier this week. Also known as the British Open, it's the oldest golf tournament in the world.  The American professional golfer has won 20 times worldwide since 2022. After his latest victory, Scheffler told reporters he enjoys golf but that faith and family are his greatest priorities.  SCHEFFLER: “I would say my greatest priorities are my faith and my family. Those come first for me. Golf is third in that I've said it for a long time. Golf is not how I identify myself. I don't identify myself by winning tournaments, chasing trophies, being famous or whatever it is. “This week, I was the best player in the world. I'm sitting here with the trophy. We're gonna start all over in Memphis, back to even par. Show goes on. I don't feel any different because I've won a golf tournament. This is not the ‘be all end all' for me, but I'm extremely grateful for it. “I don't think that I'm anything special, just because some weeks, I'm better at shooting a lower score than other guys are.” Scheffler's love for family inspired a Nike ad that celebrates fatherhood. The footwear company posted a picture of Scheffler on the golf course with his infant son. Nike wrote, “Priorities unchanged. Another major secured. The wins keep coming on and off the course for Scottie Scheffler.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Ivan Rubenstein-Gillis! Singer! Songwriter! Producer! Dear old friend! Delight! I've known Ivan for decades and I've always loved his music AND talking to him, so having him on my podcast to talk about his music AND MORE was perfect. Under the band name 500 Suns, he's got a new album "Hungry Man" coming out in July 2025! Stay tuned for that, and also stay tuned at the end of this podcast episode for a sneak peek of some music from that project! We have a great chat and you can have a great listen! PS This is only the first HALF of our chat. For the second half, subscribe via Apple Podcasts or merely click on over here to Patreon! Also, here's more about Ivan in Ivan's website's own words: "Ivan Rubenstein-Gillis is a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist based out of New York. With deep roots in folk, rock, jazz, world music and modern poetics, Ivan brings a rare sense of craft, intellectual provocation and emotional expression to his work.​ Ivan grew up in a creative family and from an early age was exposed to great music, books and visual art from all around the world. He played piano as a kid and began putting lyrics and chord patterns together around the age of 10 ... Bought his first guitar in high school and later added mandolin, banjo, harmonica, bass and other instruments to the mix. Over the course of his eclectic career, Ivan has written hundreds of songs and instrumental pieces, produced and recorded albums across various genres, composed for dance and theater and performed with great musicians in many styles.​ The primary focus of Ivan's creative life has been his songwriting. To date, he has recorded 11 albums of original material as a solo artist, collaborating with extraordinary rhythm sections, instrumentalists and singers along the way. His songs have won grants and awards, have been performed by numerous artists and choirs, have been featured in a number of movies, documentaries and PSAs, and have become part of the American musical landscape for his many admirers.​​ Two of his songs were featured in a worldwide viral video produced for the United Nations Environmental Program regarding the evils of single-use plastics. Outside of his own material, Ivan enjoyed a very successful collaboration with legendary trombonist Roswell Rudd over the last decade of his life. Ivan played with Rudd's dynamic MaliCool band in 2007 and produced Feeling Good (a tribute to Nina Simone) - the lead track off of Rudd's 2011 album The Incredible Honk.  In 2013-2014, Ivan produced Trombone For Lovers, an epic collection of American standards which included the house band of John Medeski, Aaron Comess and Richard Hammond, plus guest appearances from Bob Dorough, Faye Victor, Gary Lucas, Michael Doucet, Steven Bernstein, The NYC Labor Choir and other luminaries. TFL received a four star review in Downbeat and generated raves around the world. Roswell performed with Ivan and his band on numerous occasions and guested on several of Ivan's albums, including in the guise of a braying elephant on dogz and katz, a choice cut from Ivan's 2016 album The Lion. Ivan and Roswell continued to work together on new compositions and arrangements right up until Roswell died in December of 2017.​ Ivan produced and played multiple instruments on "Songs From Home" - a well-received  'pandemic EP' with fellow Rudd collaborator (and wonderful singer ) Heather Masse, featuring some of their favorite classics, reimagined for quarantine. Ivan's latest project - 500 Suns - is a collaboration with the great rhythm section of Craig Santiago and Scott Petito - an uplifting soulful band based out of the Hudson Valley featuring Shawn Dawn, Kendra McKinley and Leslie Ritter on vocals. ​Ivan's deep love for many different types of music has allowed him to play around the margins of numerous genres, and has led to longstanding musical relationships with Meyer Horn (drums), Adam Small (bass), Craig Santiago (drums), Scott Petito (bass), Aaron Comess (drums), Richard Hammond (bass), Heather Masse (voice), Cat Martino (voice), Leah Siegel (voice), Lexy Casano (cabaret artist), Clarence Ferrari (flame throwing fiddler), Arne Wendt (organist), Rod Sherwood (producer), David Grausman (piano) and David Brahinsky (NJ-based folksinger), among many others. Ivan has also worked extensively as a music educator, concert producer and "musical activist" - utilizing his talent and experience in the service of providing musical opportunities to underserved populations. Ivan has played at countless benefit concerts, fundraisers and community events and always appreciates the opportunity to play music in the service of a worthy cause.  Along with the music, Ivan writes satire, short stories, poems and the occasional expository essay. He also likes to draw funny sketches." Thanks and love, all!

Send us a textBack in the 1980s, everyone, and I mean everyone, was trying to spread one simple message: Drugs Are Bad! There were a ton of PSAs telling kids to leave narcotics alone. Celebrities said to stay clean, and networks invested in one off specials to keep kids from taking one toke over the line. Or any tokes for that matter.Here now is the nexus of these specials, a hybrid of PSAs, The Flintstone Kids, and a certain gloved singer who was high... on the charts at this time.

Conversely, shocking caller opinions on roses. Carey shares dog perfume tips. An exploration of flat Christina Aguilera karaoke. Many helpful PSAs.

Matt is joined by Risinger Build Executive Project Manager Daniel Glauser to discuss pre-construction service agreements (PSAs), emphasizing the importance of getting paid for the extensive time and effort builders invest before actual construction begins. They explain how PSAs help weed out unserious clients, foster transparent collaboration with architects and homeowners, and ultimately ensure a smoother, more efficient building process. Matt and Daniel outline Risinger Build's current process, which includes an initial discovery phase, a high-level estimate based on preliminary plans, and a formal PSA requiring a $20,000 deposit billed against their time. This allows them to guide clients early on, avoid surprises, and align budget expectations. They encourage other builders—even those working on smaller projects—to adopt similar practices, advocating for industry-wide change through local builder networks. Both Builders encourage others to value their time and expertise and move away from outdated bidding practices that devalue the work they do. By doing so, builders can cultivate better client relationships, make more informed decisions, and improve outcomes for everyone involved in the building process.Thank you to episode sponsors Huber & Truss.

Today on Normal World, Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dig into the viral case of Shiloh Hendrix, a woman who called an autistic Black child the N-word—and somehow ended up a millionaire through GoFundMe. The crew breaks down how blatant racism is being rebranded as “free speech” and how both political extremes have replaced common sense with outrage. They reflect on Trayvon Martin, systemic injustice, and the emergence of a “woke right” that mirrors the same behavior it once ridiculed. From antisemitism to identity tribalism, they call out the absurdity of online purity tests and culture war grifting. Faith, race, government distrust, and the erosion of empathy all come into focus—before spiraling into hilarious chaos featuring weed PSAs, catnip trivia, food rankings, Mexican chefs, and a deep dive into the density of flight attendant BBLs.

There have been so many times that I've made a mental note that I need to include more photojournalism on the show, only to have a mental dog eat my homework. Finally, today, I am checking that off the list. Still, if I'm being honest, it wasn't my mental note that made this show happen. It was a series of events that include an email, a referral, and a conference. It ends out that today's guest had reached out to me directly back in August of last year. His email started with "Hey Steve. I have been a loyal listener to your podcast for years. It's been my favorite photo-related podcast by far. I'd love to be featured on your show.", but unfortunately at the time I wasn't in need of any guests - I try not to book too far out these days. Still, I checked out his work and figured someday I needed to follow up. Then, a few months ago, my buddy Kersten Luts, of the Camera Shake Podcast, mentioned a guest that he'd had on his show, and suggested I should get him on my show. When he mentioned the name, Kevin Painchaud, I had the feeling I had heard of him. Still, I was a bit busy at that point, so I didn't really pursue it. Which brings us to the conference part of the story... In February I want to Imaging USA in Texas, mainly to see some friends, like Larry and the gang from Platypod, and Kersten, who was traveling in from London. While there I met Kevin, and that meeting finally got this show off the ground. Kevin is a photojournalist for Lookout Santa Cruz, or more to the point he's THE photojournalist for the all digital daily news organization. His road to, and through, photojournalism is an interesting one. He fell in love with photography in High School, but then, just shy of his 16th birthday, he was a passenger in a car that hit a tree and rolled down a hill. Kevin ended up badly injured, and in a coma for four days. He woke up on his 16th birthday with a new found gratitude to be alive, and an appreciation for people and their stories. Fast forward to 2023, when Santa Cruz County was battered by relentless atmospheric rivers, and destruction as a result, and Lookout Santa Cruz's newsroom of 10 people was tasked with documenting the devastation and providing critical updates. A year later, that hard work would pay off. The Managing editor, Tamsin McMahon, had spent weeks secretly compiling all the articles, photos, and videos, to create a beautiful timeline of their coverage. Why? She was entering the coverage for a chance at the Pulitzer Prize. That had to be one hell of a Zoom meeting when she told the staff, that had no clue she'd done this, that they had won. Now, with 25 years of experience, Kevin has shot for numerous magazines and newspapers, and his work has been featured on prominent news outlets including ABC News, CBS, The Washington Post, NPR, CNN, and MSNBC. His videos were also featured on ABC's World News Tonight. Kevin has produced several feature films, directed TV show pilots, and even earned an Emmy nomination for his music-focused TV show, Muzic on the Edge. One of Kevin's projects that really intrigues me is that he directed PSAs for Aerosmith.

This week, we look at public service announcements. PSAs have to compete with - not just other PSAs - but with all other commercials out there. And do it with an iota of the budget. It requires exceptional creativity. We'll talk about how Elvis got teens to get a polio vaccine, and a drinking & driving commercial recorded by drunk actors. --------Looking for where to find a discount on the Saily data plan?Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

The tariffs on China are now effectively 145% and penalties tied to Venezuelan oil could raise that to 170%. Trump's tariff policies are nearing the triple digits, so the level of uncertainty filling every board room is chilling.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/zeihan/of-tariffs-manufacturing-and-psas
