Hello Interactors,I've long been a fan of “regreening” cities, imagining replacing bits of asphalt and concrete with trees, plants, mini-parks, and green roofs to cool them down. In many cases these are indeed good interventions. But even these celebrated nature-based solutions to the “urban heat island” effect require closer inspection. It turns out any land cover change alters energy, water, and momentum exchanges between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. Which are the right ones and where?To understand why cookie cutter greening plans can fail and how planners and policy makers can build cities that can handle climate change, we need to understand how land and the air interact. Environments vary from place to place, and this puts limits on what we can do to land to create urban climates that are both beautiful and healthy.To get a handle on what the research says, I found a literature review from 2025 that synthesized findings from 84 peer-reviewed studies. In was published in the journal Climate Risk Management.Let's see what they, and others, found.BEATING HEAT WITH BIOPHYSICAL FEATSWhat better place to start than science. Let's just delve right into how urban green spaces affect temperature. It starts with determining the energy balance at the surface of the earth. This comes from a budget equation found in physical geography. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface, it breaks down into three main fluxes, or ways heat moves around* Sensible heat flux: the heat that directly warms the surrounding air, which we measure as temperature.* Latent heat flux: the heat that's used to turn water from a liquid to a gas, like when we sweat or plants release water vapor (transpiration).* Ground heat flux: the heat stored in building materials, asphalt, and soil.In conventional urban environments dominated by concrete and asphalt, latent heat flux is minimal because we've built cities in ways that rapidly drain water away as ‘waste'. As a result, incoming solar energy is funneled into sensible heat. This raises daytime air temperatures that gets stored as ground heat, which is slowly radiated back into the city at night. Urban greening can reshuffle this thermodynamic budget through three interconnected physical mechanisms: shading, evapotranspiration, and albedo modification.Mechanism 1. Shading: Intercepting Solar RadiationShading — the most immediate and reliable cooling mechanism provided by vegetation — requires precise microclimatic quantification. Vegetative canopies act as physical shields, intercepting incoming shortwave solar radiation before it strikes impervious surfaces like concrete or asphalt. By preventing these dense materials from absorbing heat and emitting sensible heat flux back into the boundary layer, shading dramatically lowers surface temperatures and reduces the baseline thermal energy transferred to the surrounding air. (Bowler, D. E., et al. 2010)The cooling benefit of urban trees is non-linear, accelerating significantly once neighborhood canopy cover crosses a critical threshold of around 40%. Measuring daytime air temperatures across urban gradients, they found that canopy cover above this 40% mark can lower local air temperatures by up to 1.5 to 2.0 degrees Celsius, effectively offsetting the thermal burden created by surrounding roads and impervious surfaces. (Ziter, C. D., et al. 2019)Mechanism 2. Evapotranspiration: Trading Sensible Heat for Latent HeatWhile shading blocks heat absorption, evapotranspiration actively removes heat from the air. Plants absorb soil moisture through their root systems and release it as water vapor through tiny microscopic pores in their leaves called stomata. This process requires thermal energy that turns phase-changing liquid water into gas. This energy transfer absorbs sensible heat and converts it into latent heat.Evapotranspiration from well-watered urban green spaces can lower local air temperatures by 2-4 degrees celsius. (Coutts, et al., 2013) However, physical geographers emphasize a crucial physical prerequisite that is easy to overlook: evapotranspiration is entirely dependent on available water. When the soil is dry or the air is super dry, plants close their stomata to save water. When stomata close, evapotranspiration shuts down. This leaves shading as the sole remaining cooling mechanism.Mechanism 3. Albedo Dynamics: The Surface Reflectivity ParadoxAlbedo measures the reflectivity of a surface on a scale from 0.0 (total absorption) to 1.0 (total reflection). Urban asphalt has a low albedo (0.05 to 0.10), absorbing up to 95% of incoming solar energy. Vegetation's albedo can range from 0.11 to 0.25.In temperate climates, replacing low-albedo asphalt with greenery or reflective surfaces increases surface reflectivity, sending more solar radiation back into space before it can be absorbed as sensible heat. One study documented that increasing urban surface albedo typically lowers peak ambient air temperatures by 0.3 degres Celsius to 1.0 degree Celsius — alongside much larger drops in surface pavement temperatures. While a temperature change under one degree Celsius may sound modest at first glance, a baseline shift of this magnitude across a neighborhood is enough to redefine a local microclimate. (Santamouris, 2014)But swapping out light urban surfaces for dark vegetation can also have a negative effect. Paradoxically, when researchers in 2023 replaced dry, light-colored desert soil with darker vegetation in hot, arid regions it reduced overall surface reflectivity. The drop in albedo caused an increase in daytime surface warming. (Schlaerth, et al., 2023)Furthermore, dense tree canopies inside narrow urban street canyons can act as thermal blankets at night. While trees provide valuable shade during the day, their foliage reduces the sky view factor at street level, trapping outgoing longwave thermal radiation emitted by surrounding building facades and asphalt. When combined with reduced wind permeability, this canopy barrier restricts nocturnal radiative cooling and holds warm air near ground level (Lee et al., 2016).These are the physical realities that can demonstrate how urban greening is not a consistently inherent cooling practice. It is a complex thermodynamic intervention whose success relies entirely on local environmental conditions.PLACEMENT, PATCHES, AND PARK PATTERNSBecause thermodynamic processes happen across physical spaces, cooling urban green space can be uneven. The literature review reveals that a green space's cooling capacity depends on four spatial and biological variables: vegetation density, species selection, spatial configuration, and urban morphology. Let's break them down individually.Cooling Factor 1. Vegetation Density and Species TraitsNot all greenery cools equally. One way to measure this is through a Leaf Area Index (LAI). This is the total leaf area per unit of ground area and is a primary predictor of thermal performance. As you might imagine, dense foliage absorbs more from the sun and then produces higher cumulative transpiration (so long as there's adequate water).Botanical traits also play a big role. Broadleaf deciduous species (like oaks or maples) feature large surface areas that maximize summer transpiration, but that goes away when they drop their leaves in winter. Evergreen coniferous trees, however, maintain continuous canopy coverage through every season.In temperate rainforest environments like Seattle or Vancouver, researchers found that conifers cooled urban surroundings up to 1.7 degrees celsius more effectively than broadleaf trees. Dense needle canopies continuously block incoming solar radiation due to higher LAI and the fact that clusters of spiny needles better trap a stable buffer of calm air which moderates heat exchange with the surrounding urban environment. (Eyster & Beckage, 2022, 2023) Cooling factor 2. Spatial Configuration: Landscape Ecology PrinciplesEcologists and geographers commonly evaluate green spaces through two main attributes: composition (how much green space exists) and configuration (how those green patches are arranged across the landscape). Over 58% of the mechanism-focused studies in the literature review analyzed spatial pattern metrics. The consensus is the spatial layout of green space is just as important as its total area!Other empirical studies consistently demonstrate that cooling effects decay the further you get from green spaces. Research done in 2016 and 2023 shows how urban parks can produce a primary “cooling footprint” that extends typically 100 to 300 meters from the park boundaries. If you're lucky enough to live within this buffer, temperatures drop between 1.9 and 3.1 degrees celsius, but beyond 300 meters, the cooling influence quickly falls off. (Bao, et al. 2016, Shi et al. 2023)This spatial limit leads to a couple spatial layout choices. A few big parks or connected networks of smaller green spaces. Large, consolidated parks (>2 hectares) generate intense, stable “cool islands” at their core, but their benefits remain localized. For example, a study in Xalapa, Mexico, revealed that parks larger than 2.8 hectares with over 21% tree cover provided reliable local cooling of around 2 degrees celsius . (Lemoine-Rodriguez et al., 2022)Connected networks of smaller green spaces distributed across a city create a more equitable cooling effect. Three studies in 2019 and 2021 show that fragmented, isolated green patches — like big parks — perform poorly compared to continuous, linear green corridors. Linear “green belts” or street-tree networks (in the right environment) can act as ventilation channels, allowing cool air generated by vegetation to flow into adjacent built-up neighborhoods. (Masoudi et al., 2019, 2021; Pramanik, 2019)Cooling factor 3. Urban Morphology: The Built Environment MatrixObviously, green spaces don't exist in isolation. They're embedded within a three-dimensional hodge podge of buildings, streets, and other bits of infrastructure. Urban morphologists can quantify this urban morphological cacophony using building height-to-street-width ratio and sky view factor - the extent to which surrounding structures and canopies obstruct a location's view of the open sky.High-density urban cores with tall buildings create deep “urban canyons” that generate their own shade. In these settings, building shade can combine with tree shade during peak daylight hours to significantly lower temperatures.However, studies show that if tree canopies in narrow street canyons are too dense — particularly in humid environments — they can trap anthropogenic heat emitted by vehicle exhaust and air conditioning condenser units. They can also significantly reduce localized wind speeds. As a result, maximizing green space cooling efficiency requires aligning vegetation density and canopy architecture with prevailing wind corridors to preserve urban ventilation channels (Cheung & Jim, 2019; Morakinyo et al., 2019).Nothing is every as easy as it seems.BRIDGING GAPS WITH BETTER MAPSWhile academic literature can offer detailed insights into microclimatic processes, there remains a big gap between academia and urban planning and governmental policy. That gap may be self-fulfilling. The literature review of 84 papers revealed 61% of the papers simply advocate for expanding green space area, whereas only 26% focus on optimizing existing green infrastructure.Recommending that dense, historical cities “add more large parks” ignores real-world urban constraints. In modern, rapidly expanding cities, urban land is expensive, highly contested, and structurally constrained. Space dedicated to a new park often competes directly with housing, transit infrastructure, or commercial development. To move beyond idealistic slogans, urban planning will have to recon with three major implementation challenges.Challenge 1. The Water-Energy-Heat Nexus in Arid CitiesThe most significant implementation challenge facing nature-based solutions occurs precisely where urban heat stress is most severe — in hot, arid regions. Cities like Phoenix, Cairo, Tehran, or Riyadh already suffer from intense summer heatwaves. You don't have to live in or visit these places to know water there is extremely scarce.Maintaining green spaces in places like this requires pumping groundwater or desalinating seawater. Pumping and desalinating water requires massive amounts of electricity, which only increases greenhouse gas emissions if that power is coming from fossil fuels. Furthermore, if irrigation water runs out during a heatwave, non-adapted vegetation dries out, loses its cooling capacity, and can even become a wildfire risk.To solve this dilemma, physical geographers advocate evaluating urban greening through a standardized resource efficiency metric: evapotranspirative cooling per unit of water applied. In plain language, this ratio measures how many degrees of cooling you get for each liter (or gallon) of water that plants and soil release into the air through evaporation and transpiration.In dry climates — where municipal water is already tightly rationed and turfgrass is increasingly discouraged but rarely banned (I'm looking at you Arizona) — urban greening strategies are going to have pivot away from high-water lawns and non-native foliage. These cities have to move from simply prioritizing or incentivizing drought-tolerant species to requiring them. While drought-tolerant plants transpire less water than many other plants and trees — and still require water — when combined with drip-irrigation using treated municipal wastewater (greywater), they can provide a pretty reliable canopy shade and even modest evaporative cooling without draining water reserves.Challenge 2. Environmental Justice and Thermal EquityUrban heat exposure is rarely, if ever, distributed evenly across socio-economic groups. In many cities worldwide, low-income neighborhoods exhibit significantly lower tree canopy cover, higher proportions of impervious asphalt, and higher building densities than the more affluent suburbs and ex-urbs. This imbalance leaves more vulnerable populations exposed to extreme heat hazards.When municipalities undertake uncoordinated “regreening” projects, they risk triggering green gentrification. Installing fancy attractive parks can then inflate surrounding property values, displacing residents while still not reducing their heat related vulnerability.To address this, requires targeted interventions like deploying small-scale, distributed interventions (think pocket parks, vegetated bus stops, and road corridors) directly in high-vulnerability, low-canopy/vegetation neighborhoods. You could focus on functional shading over high-maintenance aesthetics. This could better ensure that at least transit stops, pedestrian walkways, and playgrounds are prioritized for canopy cover. Lastly, combining situated green infrastructure with social policy could create and/or protect more affordable housing around old and new greened public corridors and spaces.Challenge 3. A Multi-Benefit, Context-Specific Design FrameworkNo single cooling intervention works everywhere. Planners and policy makers need to adopt an integrated, multi-tiered approach that combines nature-based solutions with material interventions.In arid and semi-arid environments, planners should prioritize structural canopy shading and end an over-reliance on water-intensive lawn evapotranspiration. It's time to demand drought-tolerant trees with greywater irrigation networks, shade sails, and high-albedo “cool pavements” that can better reflect solar radiation without draining water resources.In contrast, humid and more temperate climates would likely benefit most from maximizing green spatial connectivity. By linking existing parks through linear street-tree corridors — with select broadleaf and/or coniferous species — summer evapotranspiration can be enhanced while maintaining year-round microclimate regulation.Finally, within high-density, built-up cores where ground space for new parks is limited, cities should leverage vertical green walls and green roofs paired with reflective building materials. But they best also preserve prevailing wind corridors while preventing nighttime heat traps through street canyons.“Regreening” is a compelling slogan, but as physical geography demonstrates, simplistic blanket policies can yield unpredictable thermodynamic results. Simply planting trees without considering local climate, available water, species traits, spatial configuration, and urban geometry can lead to unintended consequences.The exhaustive synthesis of decade-long research provided by Hadi Soltanifard and Majid Amani-Beni (2025) offers a clear path forward. Nature-based solutions are not off-the-shelf products that can be copy-pasted across different global cities. They are dynamic, living interventions that alter energy fluxes across urban surfaces.By moving beyond blanket acreage targets and framing urban greening as the strategic reorganization of surface-energy relations, geographers, urban planners, and policymakers will need to work together. When we design green infrastructure that respects local environmental constraints, honors spatial equity, and optimizes microclimatic processes, urban greening moves from a vague policy promise toward tools of experimentation that can pragmatically evolve our cities and megaregions into truly climate-resilient urbanscapes.ReferencesBowler, D.

Brian Auger's "Closer to It" LP was one of the first records and first breakbeats I copped long ago, and his version of Eugene McDaniels' "Compared to What" on there remains a favorite. I bought most of these records many, many years ago - mainly for samples, but over the years I've come to really dig into the songs and music themselves. The living legend is still out there making music today, and it felt important to put together a small tribute to his work, a few days from his 87th birthday. Salute!

A little tribute to some of the incredible music and musicians in the hometown. Summertime Portland funk and hip-hop off the digital decks. Apologies for the sloppy mixing, still figuring out this new mixer! Tracklist: Mic Capes ft. Farnell Newton and jaminah, Shine Runna, Libretto ft. Jumbo and Theory Hazit, Trox, Cool Nutz, Rev Shines, Alley Oop, Vursatyl, Alex Stange

One of my all time favorite musicians has moved on - Abdullah Ibrahim aka Dollar Brand, South African legend, whose tunes fueled the anti-apartheid movement.

Inside EuroSIMA, épisode 27 : Emmanuel Loheac, fondateur de PULLIN, admet totalement que l'idée de ce caleçon qui a révolutionné le marché il y a plus de 25 ans lui est venue sans qu'il s'y attende. De l'audace, une vision, un relationnel aiguisé et une bonne maîtrise des chiffres ont fait le reste. Au micro, cet ancien prof de maths à domicile raconte l'intérêt de la communauté et des riders en vue du moment pour le produit au début des années 2000, puis la rapide ascension de PULLIN, dans les magasins core d'abord, puis dans un réseau de distribution élargi. Un succès qui n'a alors pas échappé au groupe Quiksilver. Lorsque ce fan d'action sports, biberonné aux magazines et aux vidéos de surf, skate ou snowboard, s'est vu proposer de reprendre les rênes de la marque Gotcha en Europe, il n'a pas hésité une seconde. Son plan : redonner ses lettres de noblesse à la marque en reprenant les codes de son aînée MCD (More Core Division). Quitte à secouer son monde. Le fameuse campagne « Surf Is Dead » fera son petit effet. Tout comme la direction générale donnée alors à Gotcha, dont l'ambition était de devenir un carrefour des mondes du surf et de la haute couture. L'aventure au sein de Quiksilver se poursuivra du côté de DC Shoes, dont il prendra également la direction Europe. Des divergences stratégiques l'amèneront à quitter le groupe pour s'impliquer de nouveau à 100% dans PULLIN, qu'il n'avait de toute façon jamais vraiment lâché pendant tout ce temps. Fort de ces nouvelles expériences, et plus que jamais convaincu de son produit, Emmanuel développera le potentiel de la marque. C'est l'ère de l'accélération, de l'ouverture de magasins dans les Alpes ou aux US, des premières collaborations internationales comme avec DC Comics ou Starwars. Puis le ralentissement soudain, la perte de chiffre d'affaires, la restructuration. Le second souffle arrivera grâce notamment à une rencontre décisive qui conduira le chef d'entreprise à revoir son modèle, et à développer une gamme complète de vêtements. Des changements qui, associés à une identité rebâtie et à une présence internationale premium et sélective, relanceront la marque Made In France. Pour Inside EuroSIMA, Emmanuel Loheac raconte l'intense aventure entrepreunariale de PULLIN sans détours ni langue de bois. Pas son genre. Un épisode inspirant, riche en anecdotes et en enseignements. Bonne écoute. Production éditoriale : EUROSIMA Animation : Romain Ferrand / Rémi Chaussemiche

The French entrepreneur explained how a spontaneous idea turned into a game-changing brand over 25 years ago. From early success in core shops to rapid growth, he reflects on community, product innovation and the evolution of the action sports market. He also looks back on his journey within Quiksilver, his role in relaunching Gotcha with bold moves like the “Surf Is Dead” campaign, and his time leading DC Shoes in Europe. Back at the helm of PULLIN, Emmanuel discusses the brand's expansion, challenges, and reinvention — from global collaborations to a renewed, more premium positioning. An honest and inspiring conversation, full of insights and key learnings. Enjoy the ride.

The Horror Dads welcome back one of their absolute favoritereturning guests and longtime friend of the show, acclaimed horror artist Gary Pullin. Gary is better known in the genre world as Ghoulish Gary, and he joins John and Jamie for a killer deep dive into one of horror's most enduringand twisty subgenres: the horror whodunit.In Episode 142, John and Jamie team up with Gary tospotlight nine horror films that keep audiences guessing, gasping, and constantly looking over their shoulder. We talked masked slashers, the whydunit, and the importance of a well-placed Red Herring.  As always, Gary brings his deep genre knowledge, artisticinsight, and infectious passion for horror history, making this episode equal parts thoughtful analysis and fan-fueled fun.

Like many people, I love the well-produced 'live in studio' videos musicians and artists have done over the past decade or so, especially the ongoing series from NPR's Tiny Desk and KEXP's studio sessions. There's also other great performances that mostly are available only in the depths of YouTube, though it seems like some artists are finally realizing they could press these on vinyl or release them separately as well. Here's a few of my favorites over the years that I've been rocking to now and then but figured I'd throw into a mix. Salute to all these amazing folks - like Scarface says, there's something about great music man!! Tracklist: Anderson Paak, Scarface, Liz Vice, Suprise Chef, Jamila Woods, Mac Miller, Freddie Gibbs, Amos Miller, The Lox, Noname

Please stay safe and if you can, give money to STOPICE.NET or local groups doing copwatch or ICE watch in your area if you can! Tracklist: Tania, Dick Drew Trio, Alex Santos Orchestra, DJM Trio, Walt Harper, Dave Rooney Trio, George Kawaguchi, Konosuke Saijyo

In Episode 405, Ken and Dave discuss the mess in Minnesota, a real reduction in Georgia's state income tax, 2026 legislative priorities, the Secret Service investigating Marjorie Taylor Greene, Trump's war on capitalism, and buying Greenland. Georgia Political Landscape Stacey Abrams Will Not Run for Governor Again Stacey Abrams announced she will not run for a third term as governor. The hosts said her decision is already fueling speculation about who she may support in future statewide races, with Jason Esteves and Keisha Lance Bottoms discussed as potential beneficiaries of her backing. The hosts described Abrams as politically "toxic" after two losses to Governor Brian Kemp. Senate and State Races: Ossoff Outlook The hosts predicted Senator Jon Ossoff will win reelection in November, citing what they described as a lack of strong Republican challengers. They mentioned Mike Collins and Derek Dooley as possible GOP names to watch. Georgia General Assembly Back for 40-Day Session The Georgia General Assembly is back for its constitutionally limited 40-day legislative session. The hosts suggested lawmakers may aim to finish early (potentially by mid-March) so legislators can shift into campaign mode ahead of the May primary. Tax Reform Proposals and Property Tax Debate A Senate committee proposal discussed by the hosts would eliminate state income tax on the first $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for joint filers by 2027. House Speaker Jon Burns' priorities were described as improving literacy, strengthening the medical workforce, and reducing property tax burdens. The hosts debated whether Georgia can realistically reduce both income and property taxes at the same time. One idea raised by Pullin was freezing property assessments at the time of purchase. National Policy and Trump's "War on Capitalism" Institutional Housing Ban Proposal Trump proposed barring large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. The hosts agreed institutional ownership can be a problem in places like Atlanta, but argued the President lacks the constitutional authority for such a ban. They also warned a sudden forced divestment could destabilize the housing market. Defense Industry Restrictions: Dividends, Buybacks, and Executive Pay Trump also suggested banning defense contractors from issuing dividends or conducting stock buybacks until production speeds improve, and proposed capping executive pay at $5 million. The hosts viewed these ideas as federal overreach into private company operations. Renewed Discussion of Buying Greenland The hosts also discussed renewed conversation about the U.S. purchasing Greenland from Denmark for strategic military reasons. They said Marco Rubio is reportedly planning to discuss the issue with Danish officials. Law Enforcement and Legal Issues ICE Shooting in Minneapolis Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by ICE agents after she allegedly drove her vehicle toward an agent while agents were attempting to detain her for obstructing their operations. The hosts debated whether deadly force was necessary and argued agents should avoid standing in front of moving vehicles to reduce the risk of escalations. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) and Leak Allegations The hosts said Trump reportedly sent the Secret Service to investigate whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene leaked his dinner location to protesters. Greene denied the claim, but the hosts argued she is effectively "done" in politics following her resignation. Theodore Hamby Expected to Plead Guilty The suspended official Theodore Hamby is expected to enter a guilty plea this week. The hosts also remarked that his resignation letter appeared to be written with AI tools. "The Mule" of the Week The "Mule" title went to a former Hampton Inn in Lake View, Minnesota. According to the hosts, a franchisee or employee refused to house ICE agents despite Hilton having a government contract. Hilton reportedly pulled the location's accreditation, and the Hampton Inn signage was removed within 48 hours.  

These are some of my favorite record purchases this past year - some are more expensive that I happened across at a flea market or online, while others were unknown to me, fortunate pick-ups from the Salvation Army milkcrates or a random jazz bin in from a store in central Cali. All have importance to me in different ways and are beautiful pieces of music. Stay safe out there as we end the year and move into the next! Go Birds, F--- ICE, Free Pal****** ! Tracklist: Pat Pace Trio, Oscar Peterson, Herb Drury Trio, Peter Dutchin, Spanky Wilson, Liana Pascalini, Rene Costy, Ahmad Jamal Trio, Abdullah Ibrahim

Even though hip-hop music is the basis for all my record collecting, I have trouble staying up on all the new releases these days as I drift more and more into jazz and other musical forms. Shout out to my guy Noah for keeping me as informed as possible about new releases! These are a few tracks that have gotten a lot of repeated listens this past year. Mixed on Serato since a few of these have not seen vinyl releases quite yet or won't at all (and that's ok!!). Enjoy! Tracklist: Myka9 and Blu, DJ Fresh and Paul Wall, Jumbo, Khingz, Replife, Ransom and DJ Premier, Raekwon ft Carlton Frisk and Inspectah Deck, Clipse, Jumbo, De La Soul, Murs, The Grouch

Been doing a fair amount of travel and digging the last couple months, making finds at antique shops as well as the floor-level bins at record stores. Taking chances on things when I can and selecting a few others from the wall if it's a fair price and I likely won't see it again. Here's a good mix of what I've grabbed recently, super eclectic, dig in!

Was recently in Chicago and had many record store adventures. One record that popped up in the cheap bins was something I'd been after, "Chicago Jazz Dance Revival at Gus Place" by the Johnny Frigo Quartet. Frigo and his various groups put out several records of "jazz dance music" for Gus Giordano in the late 60s and early 70s covering jazz, rock and funk tunes of the day. I've been slowly grabbing these albums over the years when I find them and figured now might be a moment to play a few selections on the podcast. Dig in!

Join Crystal as she wraps up our topic of anxiety. She highlights the difference between worry and anxiety, and she acknowledges that Christians are sometimes guilty of only looking at the spiritual side of it when there are other contributing factors. Then she tackles the hard work of getting our minds "unstuck" when we have allowed worrisome thoughts to make "ruts" in our brains. It won't be easy, but God has already given us the victory and His peace that passes all understanding!Prayer + Right Thinking = PeaceThis equation first appeared in Crystal's Bible study, Pullin' Weeds, Plantin' Seeds.  Her new Bible study, It's Time, is available here.Support the showConnect with the ladies of Her Portion, HERE!

Cannonball would have turned 97 this month were he still with us. His records were some of the first I collected - there are so many and so varied, his dedication to recording live sets for his albums and playing with countless amazing musicians, infusing politics into his music and his "raps" in-between songs, is all legendary. I had not realized until now that all of this was done in such a short amount of time - he passed away at the age of 46, one year younger than I am now. To have played and recorded with the legends (Miles et al) then go on to create a massive discography and universe of his own music - along with his brother Nat - is an astonishing feat. Salute!

(00:00-12:21) Let art be beautiful. We're trying to nail down the 90+ demographic. Audio of Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury talking about who he would and wouldn't let date his daughter.

Are Tim and Jackson making love telepathically. Tantric mind melds. Audio of Mike Francesa's touching tribute to Robert Redford. Not a dry eye on the dais. Going through random actors and their height.(23:31-00:00) Happy Halloween. You guys have the opportunity to have Tim out to your club today. Mike Shannon could play wherever he wanted to play. Best public golf courses in the STL area. Doug's golf game is in shambles. Shrewsy is on hold. He wasn't ready. Trying to get Blues tickets from Doug. Is 30A hoosier? Everybody sounds like the porta potty guy.

The world is spinning and it's hard to keep up with everything right now! Been out digging though, shopping and selecting a nice stack of favorites and obscurities the past month.

WHATS UP gamers!!! This time we are coming at you HOT in another crazy episode with two extra mics in the mix. Today we are joined by not only Tyler (@tylerisalrightatpainting), but Sam (@cupboard_of_shame) has come all the way from bloody ol'. It was an absolute treat sitting down with these two to talk about life, love, and wargames. Our main convo today was inspired by a question received by Trent Holbrook on his daily vlog YouTube channel (@trentholbrook). How to generate hobby ideas, start working on those ideas, and follow them through to completion. On top of that we go in about a bunch of other off-topic goodness. Sam talks about his first American burger experience, Gage gives us the play-by-play of his first time playing Space Hulk and 3rd edition 40k. Steve created some amazing Ork Kommandos, and how he balances lore-building with the bashing process. Terry gets just a little way too heated about his disdain for morale saves, and Tyler gives us more insight on how he creates historically accurate army lists. It's a who's who of talking over each other, luckily Sam is here to make you laugh!Big shout out to all those Scumbags that decided to join our Patreon, you are the reason we can keep on keeping on - thank you!Feel no pain, and Bash the Planet!We have sick merch! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hive Scum Big Cartel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out Knucklebones Miniatures' (@knucklebones_miniatures) New Hive Scum Flagellants! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Knucklebones Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the In Rust We Trust discord here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IRWT Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you'd like to support us further, take a look at our Patreon!

Pullin' up my skirt so you can see if I gots any panties on!

Short mix of some of my favorite G-funk instrumentals, with several from the originator himself, Warren G, as well as a couple other LA producers. Something for the late summer, windows down, city streets at twilight.

A brief tribute to the legend Eddie Palmieri, whose music and politics were inspiring and incredible, especially right now in this moment! Brilliant and beautiful music, these are just a few of my favorites from his records.

Ep. 382 Ken and Dave discuss Tariff handouts, softening economic numbers, Mike Collins makes it official, a new White House ballroom, it turns out ads featuring hot girls sell clothing, the murdering fifth grade teacher, setting a politician on fire, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting closes its doors.   ------ • Pike County Zoning Issue: Ken Pullin recounted a contentious zoning issue at a county commissioner meeting. Despite public protest, a property was zoned commercial because the county was legally bound by established zoning rules and ordinances, which Pullin referred to as the county's "Bible." He explained that deviating from these rules would lead to lawsuits, and he advocates for private property rights, believing in leniency regarding how people use their land. He also noted that neighbors had the same opportunity to buy the land. • Atlanta Braves Trade Deadline: The Atlanta Braves failed to make a significant move at the trade deadline, which was disappointing but not surprising given the team's current state. The hosts felt the team was "pretty much done anyway" with "no viable path" to the postseason due to injuries and a lack of interest from other teams in their available players. • Celsius Energy Drink Controversy: A significant controversy involved Celsius energy drinks reportedly being canned at the same factory as High Noon vodka seltzers. This led to incidents where individuals, including kids, became "tipsy" after consuming what they believed to be only an energy drink. The hosts discussed the significant liability for both the manufacturer and Celsius due to potential allergic reactions to alcohol, the presence of children consuming the drinks, and the general public being misled. • Delta Flight Turbulence: A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam experienced severe, unexpected turbulence over Denver, resulting in 25 people requiring hospitalization for injuries. Passengers reportedly hit the ceiling, and the galley was "torn up." The turbulence was unexpected, as it occurred while drinks were being served, not during an anticipated period of rough air. • Kamala Harris's Political Future: Kamala Harris is reportedly not running for Governor of California, signaling her focus on a potential presidential bid in 2028. The hosts expressed skepticism about her chances, noting her past primary performance (less than 1% last time) and the Democratic party's perceived lack of a strong "bench" outside of California Governor Gavin Newsom. • New Tariffs and "Tariff Checks": Former President Trump announced new tariffs on European countries and an increase for Canada. In response, Senator Josh Hawley proposed the "American Worker Rebate Act of 2025," which would issue "tariff checks" of up to $2,400 per family. The hosts criticized this proposal, arguing that it suggests tariffs raise consumer prices and that the money should instead go towards paying off the national debt, viewing it as an attempt to "buy votes." • Economic Downturn: The Dow Jones, S&P, and NASDAQ experienced a significant dive. This was attributed to the new tariffs and "really bad job numbers" for the month (73,000 seasonally adjusted jobs), compounded by sharp downward adjustments of previous months' numbers by a combined 258,000. • Trump and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS): In response to the poor job numbers, Trump accused BLS Commissioner Dr. Erica Mackinarfer of manipulating monthly jobs reports for political purposes. He also called for Jerome Powell to step down as Fed chair, urging the Fed board to "assume control." The hosts debated whether the job numbers were genuinely manipulated or influenced by seasonal factors, and whether interest rates were being kept artificially high. They agreed that "Trump needs to stay in his damn lane" regarding the Fed. • Mike Collins Running for Georgia Senate: Congressman Mike Collins officially announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Georgia. Despite being a Republican and having support from Kemp allies in the state legislature, his campaign faced a mishap when they misspelled "Georgia" in a campaign ad. The hosts noted that this mistake, while "stupid" and "funny," was unlikely to hurt his campaign. • Houston Gaines Running for Congressional Seat: State Representative Houston Gaines announced his bid for Mike Collins' congressional seat, raising over $500,000 in the first 24 hours. The hosts speculated that Gaines's strong reputation and early fundraising success might "clear the field" of other potential candidates for the seat. • White House Makeover: A 90,000-square-foot ballroom is being built at the White House, replacing East Wing edifices. This "significant transformation" is financed entirely by private donations, not taxpayer money. • Sydney Sweeney "Good Jeans" Controversy: An American Eagle denim commercial featuring actress Sydney Sweeney generated controversy, with some on the left labeling it "Nazi propaganda" and "eugenics." This was due to Sweeney's appearance and the play on words regarding "good genes" (referring to genetics) and "jeans" (the clothing). American Eagle did not apologize, and the ad was associated with an increase in sales and stock price. The hosts found the criticism absurd. • Arkansas Teacher Accused of Double Murder: An elementary school teacher was accused of a double murder in Arkansas. He was arrested mid-haircut, with DNA evidence matching blood found at the scene, and brave descriptions from child witnesses. • Danville City Councilman Set on Fire: Danville, Virginia City Councilman Lee Vogler was attacked and set on fire with an accelerant. While the motive is believed to be personal, not political, the act was described as a "different level of hate." • "Mule of the Week" - Georgia Southern Professor: A Georgia Southern Professor named Greg Brock was named "Mule of the Week" for suggesting that citizens in Bullet County take out a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to afford increased school taxes. This suggestion was made during a school board meeting where an unusual number of people were speaking in favor of the tax increases, which the hosts believed was orchestrated. • PBS Shutting Down: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it would begin shutting down after Congress canceled its approved funding. This indicated that donations were insufficient to sustain operations. The hosts expressed little disappointment, arguing that PBS and NPR should be self-sufficient through advertising or donations if their content is truly valuable, and that many shows would likely find new homes on streaming services.

There was a time when I owned 4-5 copies of Sly Stone's "FRESH" album, it was so vitally important to me. I remember hearing it for the first time in the 90s and it blew my mind. I preached the Sly gospel since to many friends of my age in the years since. That album will always be a cornerstone of musical history and importance to me, and helped me on my record digging journey forward. So many people have covered his songs over the years, in so many funky and creative ways, so I've included a number of those covers on this episode, along with some of my favorite originals of his. RIP the legend Sly Stone, thank you so much for all the beautiful music!Tracklist: Sly and the Family Stone, Rhoda Scott, Johnny Frigo Sextett, Sly Stone, The Roots, Scott Grooves, Charles Earland, Sly Stone, Wayne Davis, Cesar Frazier, Sly Stone, Sly Stone

I was late to the library game, and only own a short stack of these gems, but for folks unaware, some amazing studio musicians (especially in Europe) recorded some of the funkiest and weirdest music on "library" records, that were available to radio and tv producers to use on their shows or elsewhere. Recently I discovered that one of the iconic sound effects associated with the early days of Portland Trailblazers broadcasts that I used to hear all the time as a kid actually came from a 1970s KPM record. No tracklist on this one! Dig in.

In 2020, Ellidy Pullin's life was turned upside down when her partner, Olympic snowboarder Alex ‘Chumpy' Pullin, died in a tragic accident. The couple had been trying for a baby, so in the deeply disorientating hours after his sudden death, when a friend suggested the possibility of a posthumous sperm retrieval – a complicated, and sometimes controversial procedure whereby sperm samples are taken within 36 hours of a person's death – Ellidy knew instantly that this was something she wanted to pursue.
