Susan Ryan welcomes three trailblazers in the eldercare culture change movement to this week's episode: Joanne Rader, Charlene Boyd, and Rose Marie Fagan. Each guest has a distinct and storied history within the culture change movement, and each has taken an interesting and unique journey built on their pioneering experiences. Joanne Rader recounts her shift from rehab nursing to transforming geriatric mental health—moving away from restraints and toward truly personcentered care. Charlene Boyd shares how she led organizational change in longterm care settings, dismantling outdated practices to put residents first. Rose Marie Fagan reflects on her journey from teaching to eldercare advocacy, culminating in the formation of the national Pioneer Network. Together, they explore past challenges, celebrate hardwon successes, and cast a vision for continued communitydriven reform. Collectively, they recount the wins they have accomplished along the in transforming eldercare and improving quality, including the following: eliminating restraints and realityorientation protocols transforms quality of life; perspective shifts that views elders as full participants, not passive recipients in their care; the creation of grassroots forums and persistent advocacy that gave birth to the Pioneer Network and a national movement; and change that now demands risktaking, intergenerational partnerships, and amplifying elders' voices. In addition, they discuss their work in making “good trouble” that champions bold, disruptive ideas that advance personcentered care. Their call to action is to join them at the Center for Innovation conference this Aug. 11 to 14 in St. Louis, Mo. Don't miss the preconference session featuring Boyd, Rader, and Fagan, as well as many other pioneers who continue to mobilize the culturechange movement: https://cfi2025.org/.

Luke 8:42-48

Turned in to the FBI by his own brother and aunt—motivated, he says, by their hatred of President Trump—Kenneth recounts how that betrayal severed family ties, even in the wake of his father's death. Inside the Capitol for just three minutes, he picked up a pocketful of shattered glass as amemento before exiting. Despite the brief visit, he was sentenced to 90 days at Fort Leavenworth and 36 months of probation. Kenneth discusses what drove him to Washington on January 6, including the violent summer of 2020 and the tragic death of retired police captain David Dorn. An author and truth-seeker, Kenneth also previews his upcoming book Cornfields in Chaos, which explores his motivations and experience on that fateful day.Kenneth's book is available in bookstores and online at PSYCHOTICMONKEY: K.

Luke 8:22-25

Discover Lafayette welcomes Justin Bennett, the new owner of Artmosphere, and Anthony Daniels—known to many as Moose Harris—who serves as booking agent and sound engineer for the venue. Moose Harris, Justin Bennett, and Jan Swift at recording Discover Lafayette at RADER. Located at 902 Johnston Street in downtown Lafayette, Artmosphere has long been known as a cultural hub where music, art, and community converge. Now, with Justin at the helm and Moose helping steer the ship, this iconic space is entering a bold new chapter. Justin, originally from Brooklyn by way of Seattle, and his wife Marcela, a talented chef, made their way to Lafayette after the early waves of the pandemic. A former journalist and public information officer for New York City Emergency Management, Justin brings a rare blend of communication savvy and passion for grassroots music culture. His wife, Marcela, runs Lana's Empanadas food truck—named after their dog!—and previously helped launch the kitchen at Mercy Kitchen. Together, they've embraced Lafayette as home and are now pouring their heart and soul into revitalizing Artmosphere. Moose Harris, born and raised in New Iberia and a seasoned music producer, performer, and radio personality, has deep roots in the Louisiana music scene. From his classical and jazz studies under legends like Ellis Marsalis to his frontman days in the Reggae Ska Conspiracy, Moose brings both creative insight and a wealth of experience to the table. Having worked with Artmosphere under its previous ownership, he already knew the venue inside and out—literally holding the keys before Justin ever stepped through the door. What they're creating together is something special. Gone are the days of Artmosphere being an undefined multipurpose space. "As Justin clearly puts it, this is first and foremost a music venue." A place for curated, intentional nights of music that make sense together—no more scattershot open mic lineups. Under their guidance, Artmosphere is becoming a home for touring artists and a launching pad for local talent. And while the name is slated to change soon, the vision is clear: create a sustainable, artist-respecting space with good music, good food, and good drinks. And about that food—Justin's East Coast roots are making their mark. From his Italian grandmother's Sunday sauce to a hearty Irish shepherd's pie and the promise of Lafayette's best-poured Guinness, the kitchen is set to impress. Marcela is helping build out the kitchen and train staff, sourcing from local farms to ensure seasonal, delicious offerings. It's all about quality—from the music to the meatballs. During Festival International, the team soft-launched Artmosphere with eight wildly different events in five days, showcasing everything from hip hop and zydeco to burlesque and R&B. Every act was carefully chosen, every night was intentional. And it's just the beginning. Moose is already booking shows into the fall, and together they're building a community around the venue, one great night of music at a time. Soon, a new name will be unveiled along with a new website, including a music blog produced in collaboration with UL Lafayette journalism students. It's all part of a bigger mission: to make Lafayette a must-stop destination for national touring acts and to elevate the local scene with the respect and support it deserves. We're grateful for what Justin and Moose are doing—for their commitment to musicians, to our cultural economy, and to downtown Lafayette. It's time for this. And we're lucky to have them here. For more, visit Artmosphere's Facebook page or email benett.management@yahoo.com if you're interested in performing or getting involved. Stay tuned for the name reveal—we'll be the first to share it!

Text a Message to the ShowToday is a crime history episode on the BTK serial killer, Dennis Rader.  Rader is known to have committed at least ten murders between 1974 and 1991, communicating with the media about his crimes but not getting caught.  He called himself BTK, for "bind, torture, kill," and had disappeared for 13 years when suddenly he began communicating with the media and the police again.  This is the story of how he got caught. My guest today is Dana Gouge, who was a homicide detective at the Wichita Police Department.  This interview is going to cover the investigation from 2003 to 2005 which led to Dana being the detective to actually handcuff one of America's most famous serial killers.Music is by Brian Bolger Hey Chaplain Podcast Episode 110Tags:Serial Killer, BTK Killer, CODIS, Cold Case, Detective, DNA, Evidence, FBI, History, Investigations, Journalists, KBI, Murder, Police, Profilers, Task Forces, Wichita, KansasSupport the showThanks for Listening!

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the ninety-sixth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Task Force Senior for the BDE Command & Control (BCT HQ), LTC Timothy Price on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are the notorious “Geronimo 06,” LTC Mason Thornal, and a seasoned Observer-Coach-Trainer across the fire support enterprise at the JRTC, CW3 Jerrad Rader. LTC Mason Thornal is the Battalion Commander of 1-509th IN (OPFOR). CW3 Jerrad Rader is the Brigade Targeting Officer OCT for BC2 (BCT HQ) with seventeen rotations as an OCT. In this episode, we focus on the integration and employment of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) at echelon during large-scale combat operations (LSCO). The conversation explores how sUAS platforms—ranging from short-range quadcopters to medium-range reconnaissance systems—are increasingly prevalent across formations, including at the squad, company, and battalion levels. While these tools enhance battlefield transparency and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) capabilities, they also introduce significant challenges in areas such as target identification, airspace deconfliction, and command and control. Rather than solving new problems, sUAS platforms are reframing existing warfighting challenges with different tools and at new echelons, placing additional emphasis on defining authorities, refining standard operating procedures (SOPs), and ensuring operators understand their role within the broader targeting process.   The episode also highlights best practices and points of friction in employing sUAS across the force. A major issue is the lack of standardized processes and knowledge management systems to handle the influx of information generated by sUAS. Brigades must move beyond simply acquiring new platforms to fully integrating them into the targeting cycle, using tools like targeting synchronization matrices and engagement criteria. Proficiency and training are recurring themes—highlighting that operator skill can be the difference between mission success and failure. The episode concludes by urging leaders to invest in home station training, share lessons learned across units, and foster innovation at the lowest levels, reinforcing that success with sUAS in LSCO will come from disciplined process integration, not just hardware acquisition.   Part of S04 “Scouts Out” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.
