Public health is everywhere, but too often, people don't see it. In this episode, we explore how the field can build a stronger future by investing in the next generation of professionals and improving how it communicates its value to the public. Dr. Kimberly Wyche Etheridge, Senior Vice President of Health Initiatives at ASTHO discusses why workforce pathway programs, mentorship, and hands-on partnerships between universities and health departments are critical as experienced leaders retire and workforce gaps grow. She shares why more students are choosing public health, how practical experience helps bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice, and why retaining early-career professionals requires rethinking workplace culture. From creative funding strategies to proactive pipeline development, she makes the case that investing in people today is essential for protecting community health tomorrow. Then, Brian Castrucci, President and CEO of the de Beaumont Foundation explains why, in a recent article, he argued public health must do a better job communicating its impact. He explores how partnerships across sectors, from business and education to faith communities, can strengthen support, and why consistency, speed, and alignment in messaging are more important than ever. We also discuss how digital creators and influencers are reshaping trust, why public health should meet audiences where they already are, and what it will take to build a clear, unified value proposition for the field.Journal of Public Health Management and PracticeSubscribe | ASTHO
4. Stevenson-Yang 4: Post-Pandemic Deflation and the Surveillance State. Severe COVID-19 lockdowns shattered public trust, leaving China facing local government debt crises and deflation while Xi Jinping prioritizes national surveillance over traditional capitalist recovery. Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang.
Having spent years working at the intersection of where the law engages with the community, particularly vulnerable persons, Tania Wolff has seen the system at its best and at points where justice isn't accessible, leading to a loss of confidence in public institutions. Addressing that loss of faith in the system is essential, she says, both for the sake of justice and social cohesion. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Law Council of Australia (LCA) president Tania Wolff about her varied vocational journey as a practitioner and her work for legal member bodies, what motivates her to advocate for the legal profession, her concerns about the erosion of confidence in public institutions and the justice system, and the potential impacts of such a loss of confidence. Wolff also delves into LCA's priorities for her term as president, what the member body does, managing the health and wellbeing of the profession while pushing for societal change, professional opportunities created by new technologies, and the "extraordinary privilege" of being LCA president.

In this episode, we begin with the strange world of high-end audio, from banana wire tests to quarter-million-dollar stereo systems, and ask whether diminishing returns eventually overtake objective performance. We then react to Barack Obama's comments about aliens before moving to our Foolishness of the Week: Australia's $40 cigarette packs and the predictable rise of black markets and bootlegging that follows heavy taxation. From there, we turn to election law and voting rights, examining who actually has the constitutional authority to regulate elections, what the SAVE Act proposes regarding proof of citizenship, whether a president can alter voting rules by executive order, and how voter ID laws intersect with legitimacy and public trust. We also discuss gerrymandering, the structural incentives of the two-party system, and a story from a group home that raises deeper questions about civic participation and what it really means to be qualified to vote. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:30 Audiophile Cable Myths and the Banana Wire Test 03:54 Quarter-Million Dollar Stereo Systems and Diminishing Returns 06:32 Barack Obama Says Aliens Are Real 10:14 Foolishness of the Week: Australia's $40 Cigarette Packs 12:26 Black Markets, Bootleggers, and Unintended Consequences 16:55 Who Actually Decides Who Can Vote? 18:39 The Constitutional Framework for Elections 22:31 The SAVE Act and Federal Citizenship Requirements 26:53 Voter ID, Legitimacy, and Political Signaling 31:41 The Real Electoral Problem: The Two-Party Duopoly 34:15 Gerrymandering and the Spoils of Political Victory 38:50 Can Trump Use an Executive Order on Voting? 41:30 Legitimacy, Public Trust, and Election Narratives 44:52 A Story from the Group Home: When Should People Vote?

This week on The Health Advocates, we unpack a series of developments that signal a pivotal moment in U.S. health policy. The FDA has refused to review Moderna’s new mRNA-based flu vaccine, raising questions about regulatory standards and the future of vaccine innovation. At the same time, the Trump administration has launched TrumpRx, a new prescription drug discount platform that promises savings but faces scrutiny over its scope and real-world impact.We also examine new polling showing declining confidence in flu, COVID-19, and MMR vaccines, and the growing legal battle over changes to the federal childhood vaccine schedule. With public trust, regulatory rigor, and patient access all in play, this episode breaks down what these headlines mean for patients — and why clarity and credible science matter more than ever.

A striking new Pew Research Center survey reveals a deep crisis of trust in American journalism: 57% of the public now says they have little or no confidence that journalists act in the public's best interests. Meanwhile, legacy newsrooms are being gutted, with sweeping staff cuts accelerating as readership plummets and once-dominant institutions struggle to stay afloat.
Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge interview Mary Vought of the Heritage Foundation about the fallout from declining trust in legacy media, highlighting massive layoffs at outlets like The Washington Post. Vought discusses how partisan messaging, orchestrated narratives, and misleading reporting have eroded public confidence, noting that Americans increasingly prefer fact-based, transparent journalism. She emphasizes the business consequences of lost readership and advertisers, compares modern media practices to historical journalistic integrity, and stresses the need for media accountability while previewing the next segment on the Lenten season with Wes Martin.

In the latest episode of The DCF Show Podcast, Data Center Frontier founder Rich Miller joins present DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent and Senior Editor David Chernicoff to examine where the data center industry stands as AI infrastructure moves from announcement to execution. Miller also discusses his new Data Center Richness podcast and Substack project, which explores how data center professionals consume content and learn about the rapidly evolving industry. With information overload now a reality, Miller's goal is to distill the most important signals shaping infrastructure decisions. The conversation then turns to what defines 2026 for data centers: execution. After a year filled with megaproject announcements, the industry now faces the harder task of actually delivering campuses at AI scale—often under severe power constraints. With utilities struggling to keep pace, on-site generation is shifting from temporary solution to long-term strategy, as developers seek reliable ways to power projects while easing community concerns about grid impacts. Public resistance has also become a major factor. Miller notes that community opposition is now delaying or halting billions of dollars in projects, forcing operators to rethink how they engage with local stakeholders. Issues like power pricing and water usage are increasingly central to project approval. On the technology front, Nvidia's roadmap continues to reshape infrastructure planning, with rack densities rising sharply, liquid cooling becoming standard, and new power distribution models emerging to support AI factories. At the same time, Miller expects the market to stratify, with some operators specializing in AI factories while others serve cloud and enterprise demand. The discussion also touches on nuclear power's future role, with data centers positioning themselves as anchor customers, though meaningful SMR deployment remains years away. Ultimately, Miller argues that the industry is moving faster than ever, and 2026 will reveal how well today's massive investments translate into real deployments. As he concludes: the next phase belongs to those who can deliver.
Reconciliation, Becoming, and Public Trust in Real Estate Appraisal Reconciliation under USPAP SR 1-6 is often treated as a technical step at the end of the appraisal process. In practice, it is far more than a mechanical exercise. True reconciliation is not about averaging numbers or following software defaults—it is about professional judgment under uncertainty. USPAP requires appraisers to reconcile the quality and quantity of data, as well as the relevance and applicability of the valuation approaches used. This places reconciliation at the core of appraisal ethics, not just methodology. It is the moment where the appraiser must take responsibility not only for the final value conclusion, but for the reasoning that produced it. From a philosophical perspective, reconciliation reflects what Søren Kierkegaard described as “becoming”: the transition from following procedures to standing personally behind one's own choices. In this sense, reconciliation is an existential act. The appraiser cannot hide behind forms, templates, or algorithms. They must interpret conflicting evidence, assess uncertainty, and justify why certain data deserve greater credibility than others. This shift moves appraisal away from mechanical form-filling and toward intellectual accountability. Appraisers are not fiduciaries in the legal sense, but they are stewards of public trust. Their primary obligation is not loyalty to the client, but loyalty to professional judgment, independence, and truth-seeking. Reconciliation is where data becomes knowledge, numbers become meaning, and appraisal becomes a genuinely ethical practice.
In an age where misinformation spreads rapidly across digital platforms, the integrity of information has become a pressing concern for individuals and societies alike. Giuseppe Carapellese, CEO of MLR, sheds light on a crucial initiative aimed at addressing this challenge: certifying digital content such as photos and videos. This approach not only empowers individuals to document events but also aims to restore trust in the information ecosystem, which is increasingly plagued by fake news and manipulated content.The Challenge of MisinformationThe proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has made it easier than ever to create content that appears authentic, blurring the lines between reality and fabrication. Carapellese highlights a notable example where a fabricated video of French President Macron circulated on national television, underscoring the potential dangers of misinformation. Such incidents illustrate the urgent need for mechanisms that can verify the authenticity of digital content and provide users with reliable information.A significant portion of the population struggles to differentiate between true and false information. According to the Reuters Institute, over 60% of people in Europe cannot discern authentic content from fake news. This statistic reveals a crisis of trust in the information landscape, which is further exacerbated by the overwhelming volume of content shared on social media platforms like Facebook. These platforms, primarily designed for social interaction, often become breeding grounds for misinformation, leading to confusion and skepticism among users.The Role of CertificationMLR's initiative to certify digital content serves as a beacon of hope in this chaotic environment. By enabling individuals - whether they are common citizens, freelance reporters, or representatives of NGOs - to document events and certify their content, MLR creates a new ecosystem where authenticity is prioritized. This system not only verifies the genuineness of the content but also provides a mechanism for tracking any future manipulations. For instance, if a video is altered using deepfake technology, the certification system can alert users to these changes, thereby fostering transparency.The dual objectives of MLR's approach are significant. First, it aims to reconnect underrepresented communities and give them a voice in the global narrative. In times of crisis, such as during the war in Ukraine or natural disasters, individuals on the ground can provide real-time accounts of events that may otherwise go unnoticed. By allowing these individuals to share their experiences and even monetize their content, MLR not only empowers them but also enriches the media landscape with diverse perspectives.Second, the initiative seeks to re-establish trust in the information sector. By involving individuals in the content certification process, MLR fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among users. This participatory approach can lead to a cultural shift in how information is perceived and consumed. Rather than viewing social media merely as a platform for entertainment or casual communication, users can begin to recognize its potential as a channel for credible information.A Path ForwardRestoring trust in information is not merely a technological challenge; it is also a cultural one. Carapellese aptly notes that social networks should be understood as social channels rather than information channels. This distinction is crucial in reshaping the narrative around digital content. Users must be educated about the nature of the platforms they engage with and encouraged to approach the information they encounter with a critical mindset.Moreover, initiatives like MLR's certification system can serve as a model for other organizations and platforms seeking to combat misinformation. By prioritizing authenticity and transparency, stakeholders in the information ecosystem can work collaboratively to enhance the credibility of digital content.ConclusionAs misinformation continues to pose a significant threat to societal trust and democratic processes, the need for reliable information is more critical than ever. MLR certifying digital content represents a proactive step towards restoring that trust. By empowering individuals to document and verify their experiences, we can create a more informed society where authenticity prevails over deception. In doing so, we not only enhance the quality of information available but also reaffirm the fundamental principles of freedom and democracy that rely on truthful discourse.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we continue unpacking the devastating revelations found in the Epstein files. What's been exposed isn't just corruption, it's a system that protects powerful criminals while innocent victims are silenced.The facts are very disturbing. There has been absolutely no accountability. And the victims deserve more than headlines and non-answers.We're asking hard questions about leadership, responsibility, and why justice still feels so out of reach. If powerful names are involved, then powerful action must follow. No more silence. No more avoidance. The victims deserve truth, and they deserve justice. NOW.--https://www.bible.com/
In part two of this deep dive, Riccardo, Emily Moore, Pouya Zangeneh, and Rob Pattison continue unpacking Montreal's REM (Réseau express métropolitain)—this time zooming in on what the project's risk decisions reveal about long-term infrastructure delivery.The group digs into a key point that often gets lost in public conversations about mega-projects: risk doesn't disappear, it just shifts hands. CDPQ Infra's willingness to absorb ridership and cost-overrun risk prompts a broader discussion about what it means to plan on a decades-long horizon and why “designing for the bad years” may be a defining feature of resilient infrastructure.They also discuss the role of regulation and professional judgment: whether success comes from pushing limits or from rethinking policies that no longer serve their intended purposes. They explore how contract structures, interface management, and invested technical expertise on the owner side can influence outcomes more than any single procurement model.Finally, the panel returns to the big question raised in part one: Is the REM model replicable? The answer requires examining the enabling conditions, including trust, governance, political courage, and public tolerance.Key Takeaways:Why absorbing risk isn't unique but long-horizon thinking is;What happens to contingency planning when owners accept the inevitability of “bad years”;The important difference between pushing the limits and reconsidering the rules;How looking beyond a single capital line item toward lifecycle outcomes secures project success;Why the “stupid owner” model has a tendency to fail and how successful project owners avoid it.Quote:“The problem around the world…is the stupid owner movement: ‘Pass all the risk to the contractor. Call me when you're done.' It doesn't work. You need invested experts on the owner side.” - Robert PattisonThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:“Montreal's REM Project: Executive Summary of Replicable Elements”: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PEyOyfVgetRiN8sGJ_07QfM9U7wFcFKo/view?usp=drive_linkListen to part 1 of this discussion: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s4/5Season 3 panel on Public-Private Partnerships, Part 1: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/56;Season 3 panel on Public-Private Partnerships, Part 2: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/57 Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/ Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/ Follow Emily Moore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-moore-7483311/ Follow Pouya Zangeneh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pouya-zangeneh-00537026/Follow Robert Pattison: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robsdoor/
Daniel Jutras, the recteur of the Université de Montreal and new chair of the U15 group of Canadian research universities, discusses the overlapping paradigm shifts facing universities today: geopolitical upheaval, the AI revolution, and questions about public trust in higher education. Jutras offers a thoughtful defence of what he calls "institutional restraint" rather than neutrality, explains why epistemic humility should be every academic's core posture, and makes the case for why Canada's research universities remain essential to our national sovereignty and prosperity.

In the first of this two-part conversation, Riccardo is joined by a familiar trio—Emily Moore, Pouya Zangeneh, and Rob Patterson—for a wide-ranging and refreshingly candid unpacking of Montreal's REM (Réseau express métropolitain) project and the structure behind it.The REM is a modern driverless transit system, but that's not where its innovation lies. Rather, the panel suggests, what's unique is its governance and financing model: CDPQ Infra (a subsidiary of CDPQ, Quebec's largest pension fund) acts as developer and financier for the multi-billion-dollar, revenue-backed public transit asset. The three infrastructure experts explore what makes this arrangement so unusual, what conditions were required for it to work, and whether it's replicable outside Quebec's distinctive political, legal, and trust environment.The conversation digs into the often-overlooked “plumbing” of mega-project delivery: who holds accountability, who makes decisions, how consultation is structured, and why separating operations from development can change outcomes dramatically. Come back next week for part two, which delves into the long-horizon decisions behind the REM and how risk, regulation, and ownership shape mega projects.Key Takeaways:The governance and legislative conditions that helped set the REM up for speed and results;Why the trust factor may be the silent enabler that makes this model politically viable;Why CDPQ Infra's role as developer raises new questions about public vs. private delivery;What “risk” means when a pension fund is behind a project (and what happens if things go badly);Why project success often depends on the separation of owners and operators from developers.Quote:“Success comes from splitting the money from the project from the operational program, and I think they've done that really, really well.” - Rob PattisonThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:“Montreal's REM Project: Executive Summary of Replicable Elements”: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PEyOyfVgetRiN8sGJ_07QfM9U7wFcFKo/view?usp=drive_linkSeason 3 panel on Public-Private Partnerships, Part 1: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/56;Season 3 panel on Public-Private Partnerships, Part 2: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/57 Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/ Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/ Follow Emily Moore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-moore-7483311/ Follow Pouya Zangeneh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pouya-zangeneh-00537026/Follow Rob Pattison: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robsdoor/
In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a wide-ranging and deeply concerning commentary on political leadership, national debt, higher education and the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence. Jeremy predicts an imminent leadership change within the Liberal Party, arguing that opposition infighting is allowing the Albanese government to escape scrutiny during a worsening cost-of-living crisis. Jeremy reflects on Australia’s economic shift since the Whitlam era, warning the nation is suffering from “reform fatigue” driven by ideology rather than outcomes. He raises alarm over skyrocketing national debt, uncontrolled government spending and the absence of meaningful cost–benefit analysis across public policy. A major focus of the episode is the threat posed by AI to universities, professional qualifications and public trust. Jeremy warns that artificial intelligence is enabling students to graduate with credentials but without competence, undermining medicine, law, engineering and psychology. He also discusses the rise of AI-generated films, predictions that machines could overtake humans by 2047, and the growing tension between free speech and “social inclusion”. The episode closes with a sharp critique of proposed changes to capital gains tax concessions, a reminder of Bill Shorten’s failed tax agenda, and a reflection on accountability, freedom and common sense in modern Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This is Episode 28 of Let's Get Real and I'm not here to whisper. I'm here to say the part out loud: when “safety” starts looking like chaos, somebody's lying… and regular people are the ones paying the price.This episode is part of the Black History Month Series, and we're talking about the BS swirling around ICE operations, the stories that shift, the fear that spreads, and the way it gets weaponized to keep us arguing with each other instead of holding power accountable. If the details are still unfolding, cool… that's even more reason to slow down and demand receipts, not rumors.Here's what I'm focused on: what tragedy does to people. It can shatter trust… or it can create unison. It can isolate families… or it can wake up communities. The question is whether we turn pain into purpose, or pain into posts.And then we get to the part everybody skips: the plan. Not motivational bullshit. Not “thoughts and prayers.” A real move: clarity, community, cash, consequences. You'll hear exactly what those mean and how to apply them without burning out or getting played.Watch the episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/VKGqWtB6smYAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

This week, Molly breaks down Peter Attia's public response after his name appears more than 1,700 times in recently released Epstein-related documents. The documents include emails and calendar references tying Attia to Jeffrey Epstein over multiple years. While the files do not allege Attia participated in Epstein's criminal sexual conduct, the relationship and tone of the correspondence raise serious questions about judgment, proximity to power, and credibility.Attia, a high-profile longevity figure with a paid membership and major online influence, posted a statement on X that he says was originally written to his staff and shared with patients. Molly walks through the statement nearly line by line to show why a response that leans on legal framing and denial language can fail to meet the public's real concern, which is moral discernment and ethical boundaries.In this episodeWho Peter Attia is and why his credibility is core to his brandWhat it means to be referenced 1,700 times in the Epstein filesThe reputational problem of sustained contact after Epstein's 2008 convictionWhy using one internal letter for public consumption can backfireThe danger of treating a values crisis like a facts-only crisisHow denials and courtroom-style phrasing can read as calculatedWhy intent and explanation rarely repair trust on their ownThe spillover effect occurs when the public starts scrutinizing everything elseThe bottom line lesson for anyone building a reputation onlineWant More Behind the Breakdown?

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson covers the conversations people don't want to have, but that won't go away just because they're uncomfortable.We start with the newly released Epstein files and why their implications are being downplayed, rushed past, or deliberately blurred by our government. Then we address the circulating TPUSA / Erika Kirk / Charlie Kirk assassination-related news, breaking down what has actually been reported, what remains unclear, and why responsible people should care about facts, timelines, and accountability (as Candace Owens does). Truth matters, not carefully crafted false narratives.I also speak candidly about Trump's failures because blind loyalty helps no one, and criticism is not betrayal. If leadership is going to demand trust, it has to earn it. Same goes for respect.Finally, because many of you have asked, I address some personal matters: ongoing unwanted attention from men I have clearly and firmly removed from my life, including an individual by the name of Timothy Ronald C. (I will reveal his full legal name publicly if he does not leave me alone) and an ex whose post-NFL career implosions are not my responsibility to manage, nor care about.To be clear: this is not “dragging” solely for entertainment purposes. This is about boundaries I have made (which are very known). I am in a happy, healthy relationship, I have moved on, and these men will never see me again.This episode is about truth, discernment, and refusing to be bullied—politically, culturally, or personally—into silence.This is America, home of the brave and land of the FREE.--https://www.bible.com/

Congress is demanding answers, but intelligence agencies are digging in. Is the federal government hiding the biggest secret in modern history? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with bestselling author and attorney Kent Heckenlively to discuss his explosive new book, Catastrophic Disclosure: The Deep State, Aliens, and the Truth. The conversation pulls back the curtain on decades of government secrecy, exploring how credible military whistleblowers have forced the UFO debate into the halls of Congress. We break down the institutional stonewalling of elected officials, the "black budget" funding trails, and the high-stakes choice facing the government: Controlled Disclosure or Catastrophic Disclosure. What You'll Learn Why the UFO cover-up is a fundamental issue of constitutional oversight, not just a conspiracy theory. How testimony from fighter pilots and senior military officials reshaped the credibility of UFO claims Why Congress is being blocked from accessing key information and what it means for public trust. How repeated government investigations failed to provide clear answers Is the government preparing the public for the truth, or just trying to keep the lid on a boiling pot? This episode explores UFO secrecy through the lens of transparency, constitutional oversight, and public trust, and raises urgent questions about who really holds power inside the federal government.
On this episode of Guest Commentary, the Secretary of Health doesn't apologize — even when he is proven completely wrong about the link between Tylenol and autism
A conversation with Dr. Paul OffitWe didn't just eradicate measles through vaccines, we eradicated all memory of it - that's why vaccine hesitancy is on the rise.Today's guest Dr. Paul Offit is angry. He's an undisputed authority in the vaccination field, professor of vaccinology at the University of Pennsylvania, co-inventor of life-saving vaccine RotaTeq, author… in short, Offit has been in the room for the creation of policies that affected hundreds of millions of people.That's why he stands in disbelief as health secretary RFK Jr. continues to share disinformation, shred the CDC of its ability to monitor the population, and cause real-world health crises in our communities.In defiance, he's sharing his message loud and clear, and this episode shines as our most comprehensive guide yet on the vaccination crisis. It's time to make a collective effort, to safeguard our children's health.—We spoke about RFK Jr.'s long-standing anti-vaccine stance, historical perspectives on vaccination's successes and controversies, the evolution and impacts of vaccines on diseases like polio, measles, and hepatitis B, and the erosion of public trust in vaccines.Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @ericfethkemd and checkout my website at www.EricFethkeMD.com.

Tonight, Wednesday, January 14th, the Utah judiciary is holding a town hall aimed at ‘strengthening public trust’ in the Utah Judiciary. Greg and Holly speak with Jonathan Puente, Director of the Office of Fairness and Accountability for the Utah Judiciary, about the main goals of this Court Connect town hall.
Guest Hal Herring is a long-time contributing editor and writer at Field and Stream magazine and has covered conservation and the environment for national and international publications for almost thirty years. His work was featured in the Patagonia documentary Public Trust in 2020, and he is at work on a book about the American public lands. Summary In this episode of Getting Unstuck: Cultivating Curiosity, Jeff speaks with writer and public-lands advocate Hal H. about renewed political efforts to weaken protections for America's public lands. The conversation centers on three major flashpoints: Senator Mike Lee's failed attempt to sell off federal lands under the guise of affordable housing, the Department of Agriculture's proposal to rescind the 2001 Roadless Rule, and a quieter movement to transfer federal public lands to state control. Hal explains how these efforts fit into a long historical pattern of privatization attempts, driven by ideology and commercial interests rather than public benefit. He walks through why the Roadless Rule was created—highlighting watershed protection, crumbling road infrastructure, wildfire risk, and taxpayer cost—and why the evidence overwhelmingly supports keeping it in place. Throughout the discussion, Hal emphasizes that public lands are a uniquely American idea, central to clean water, wildlife, recreation, and democratic access. The episode closes with a reminder that public voice matters: citizen pressure has stopped land grabs before, and continued vigilance is essential to protect lands held in common for future generations. The three takeaways Efforts to sell, develop, or transfer public lands are not new—they are part of a long-running campaign to privatize shared resources. The Roadless Rule protects watersheds, wildlife, and taxpayers by limiting costly, damaging road construction that agencies cannot maintain. Public lands endure only when citizens actively defend them; public pressure has proven effective in stopping harmful policies. References / Links Hal's website

Surprise NDPP appointment raises questions over process and public trust by Radio Islam
Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Public trust erodes when fraud laws are enforced selectively and accountability becomes theater.

This is the final episode of 2026! I hope you have enjoyed the show this year and also hope you have a great holiday season and happy new year. In this episode, I sit down with former Census Bureau Director Rob Santos to talk about the state of federal statistics, what's threatening the quality and independence of federal data, and why surveys like the American Community Survey and decennial census matter more than ever. We dig into how census data are collected, how political appointees interact with career staff, and why attempts to limit data collection or redefine who gets counted can undermine everything from policy to local decision-making. Rob also reflects on his approach to diversity, communication, and public engagement while leading the Census Bureau. We close by looking ahead at what modernization should look like for federal statistical agencies in the years to come.Keywords: Census Bureau, federal data, Rob Santos, statistical agencies, data quality, survey response rates, American Community Survey, decennial census, federal statistics, data integrity, data collection, public trust, policy data, government surveys, uncertainty communication, demographic data, administrative data, data modernizationSubscribe to the PolicyViz Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Become a patron of the PolicyViz Podcast for as little as a buck a monthFollow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, Twitter, Website, YouTubeEmail: jon@policyviz.com
