Guest: Lt. Col. Andrew GayForecasts don't just matter for farmers, travelers, or weekend plans — they can influence decisions that ripple across the globe. Few people know that better than Major Andrew Gay, who has served as a meteorologist in the U.S. Air Force, at the White House, and at the Pentagon. In those roles, weather wasn't simply data — it was mission-critical information that could impact safety, security, and strategy at the highest levels. Today, we'll hear how his career has bridged science and service, and what it takes to forecast when the stakes couldn't be higher.Chapters00:00 The Importance of Weather Forecasting02:51 Andrew Gay's Journey to Meteorology05:56 Career Path in the Air Force08:53 Supporting Military Operations11:44 Weather Forecasting at the White House12:30 Break 114:44 Current Role and Responsibilities17:55 Challenges in Weather Forecasting21:52 Emerging Technologies in Meteorology22:26 Break 225:06 Effective Science Communication29:50 Advice for Aspiring MeteorologistsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Sometimes life breaks your heart. Right now, the world is breaking most of our hearts. And if it isn't breaking your heart, you're not paying attention. But what does a broken heart have to do with the awakened state of mind? In this solo episode of The Road Home podcast, Ethan examine the two main aspects of our consciousness - thinking mind and feeling mind. Feeling mind might be better understood as our "Awakened Heart,"which is a not-quite-literal translation of the term Bodhicitta. Most of the time, when life or the world exposes our heart fully, we desperately want to turn away from that tenderness. Because a vulnerable heart hurts, it brings up all the specific ways we feel wounded by our past, and also by the world "out there." But our great power, and our genuine awakening, lies in turning toward Bodhicitta, or what Pema Chodron calls the "soft spot." Let's get into "soft spot," shall we? There's really no other choice in the end. Join Ethan for a very "heartfelt" episode of The Road Home this week. Last year, with your subscriptions, we were able to release more episodes than any previous year. This was only possible with your subscriptions. Please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber here. Paid subscribers to The Road Home will receive occasional extras like guided meditations, extra podcast episodes and more!

Do you have an innovative idea you want to build a company around? Brad and Faizan Ahmed discuss the importance of understanding your customer's pain points first. Faizan Ahmed has a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from San Jose State University and a Masters in Electrical Engineering/ Solid State Physics from Santa Clara University. Straight out of undergrad, he was hired into a startup that made products for the defense industry. Within three years Faizan became Head of R&D there architecting a system that enabled precision torque control in intricate small-scale products such as night vision goggles leading to an acquisition by the USAF. Faizan co-founded Genxsys in 2016 - a company that made Rain deflector lenses for cameras. These lenses would be adjusted on DSLR cameras, spinning at 1800 RPM to get rid of any rain / snow from the circumference of a picture or movie being shot. The technology was acquired by a company that rents equipment to Hollywood production studios. In 2019, Faizan founded Invensify, after noticing his diabetic father struggling to travel with his insulin that he had to take daily multiple times. The ice packs would melt / were not precise and often were prohibitive when traveling on planes. He raised money to develop the worlds most power efficient cold chain shipper using solid-state quantum technology, disrupting a $6.5 billion pharma drug delivery packaging market.

A Star Is Born has been filmed four times, but the first version is the best: a combination of Singin' in the Rain and Death of a Salesman, David O. Selznick's production drips with “movie” and artificiality, yet still delivers an ending that seems taken from Greek tragedy. No stars were harmed in the making of this film–yet the film also dramatizes the harm inflicted by a steady diet of fame. It's not an indictment of Hollywood, but an illustration of how the machine works. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. If you're interested in reading Dorothy Parker, Robert Carson, and Alan Campbell's excellent screenplay, you can find it here. The collection Memo from David O. Selznick is an addictive edition of hundreds of memos, telegrams, and letters from the producer about the films he helped create, A Star Is Born among them.

Quick SummaryVocal performance coach and PhD, Dr. Shannon Holmes, joins Kelsey to reveal how your voice is constantly broadcasting signals about your confidence, credibility, and authority — whether you realize it or not. From the science of human voice perception to practical body-based techniques for speaking with presence, this episode is a masterclass in one of the most underrated professional skills. Plus, Dr. Shannon shares her inspiring personal story of earning a PhD at 50 while raising six children.In This EpisodeDr. Shannon's journey: having children young, hiding it professionally, and eventually owning her pathGoing back for a master's degree in her early forties and a PhD at 50 — from Montreal, studying in the UKAdvice for working moms on presence, letting go, and asking for helpThe science of human voice perception — how quickly we judge others' voices (and they judge ours)Natural voice vs. habitual voice: why "I'm just monotone" is a mythWhat vocal masks are and how we unconsciously use themThe body-voice connection and why it's the foundation of all vocal workPre-performance rituals: how to take up space, breathe in the room, and walk in with authorityHow to train your voice in everyday low-stakes momentsKey TakeawaysIt's never too late. Dr. Shannon earned her PhD at 50 with six children and a transatlantic commute. The "expiry date" on your dreams is one you invented.Your habitual voice is not your natural voice. The monotone or quiet voice you use under pressure is a protective habit — not who you really are.Body first, breath second, voice third. If your body is tense, your breath is restricted. If your breath is restricted, your voice can't be free. Start there.Stop holding your breath before you speak. We hold our breath to avoid feeling fear — but that's exactly when we need to breathe deepest. Breath signals safety to your nervous system.Leave the voice to chance and you've already lost the room. All the slide prep in the world won't save you if you haven't practiced how you'll actually deliver the content.Memorable Quotes"If the body isn't free, the breath isn't free — and if the breath isn't free, the voice isn't free." — Dr. Shannon Holmes"People confuse their habitual voice for their natural voice. That flat, monotone delivery under pressure? That's not who you are. That's a habit you've built to protect yourself." — Dr. Shannon Holmes"You can have everything — just not all at the same time. I really had to learn that." — Dr. Shannon HolmesResources MentionedDr. Shannon's website: www.shannonholmes.caDr. Shannon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.shannon.holmes.voice/Kelsey's website: www.KelseyReidl.comKelsey's instagram: @KelseyReidl Wave Event — Friday, April 17th (Rain or Shine community event)Special offer: Mention "Rain or Shine" in your application on Dr. Shannon's website for a special listener rateAbout the GuestDr. Shannon Holmes is a vocal performance coach, professor, and researcher with a PhD earned at 50, specializing in the intersection of voice, body, and authentic expression. With a background in opera and theater performance, she now works with executives, entrepreneurs, and academics to unlock their natural vocal authority. She is a speaker at the Rain or Shine Wave event on April 17th.

ALPHA HOUR EVERYDAY WITH GOD IS EVERYDAY IN VICTORY
Rain wind and thunderstorms today. Scattered power outages. Back to Sunshine tomorrow.
In 1964, Lorey Kaye, a twenty-year-old from New Haven, CT, moved to Manhattan to start a new life in the big city. Lorey was a fresh-faced, dark-haired hippie, who attracted attention as much for her headstrong, determined, street smart attitude as for her striking good looks. She was hired as a waitress in a new nightclub that had just opened in Times Square – called Steve Paul’s ‘The Scene'. The club was an immediate hit with gigs by the likes of BB King, Jimi Hendrix, and Sammy Davis Jr., regular visitors like Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick – and Lorey was at the heart of the action. Another group, The Lovin’ Spoonful, also played there regularly, and their lead singer, John Sebastian, took a shine to her. John and Lorey started seeing each other, and Lorey became his muse, inspiring him to compose a number of the group's hit singles about her, such as ‘She's A Lady' and ‘Rain on the Roof', even mentioning her by name in some of the lyrics. Lorey and John Sebastian (1967) They got hitched in 1966 – by then Lorey had started work as an insider gossip columnist at Hit Parade magazine – and now known as Lorey Sebastian, she became a popular staple in the 1960s Greenwich Village folk-rock music scene. Lorey and John's relationship was glamorous, high-profile, and short-lived. Lorey broke up with John in 1968 when they were in Ireland. The legend is that she fell in with a group of gypsies, and felt compelled to tune in, drop out, and join them instead. It was said that John never fully recovered from the breakup. Lorey (right), with John Sebastian and Mama Cass (1967) Fast forward to the mid 1970s. Lorey was back in New York, now in her mid 30s and looking for a purpose. She'd become a member of the television and film workers union, with the vague ambition of being a still photographer on movie sets. To make a little extra money, she also did work as a crew member on sex films. It was on a Gerry Damiano movie that she met Jamie Gillis. Jamie sidled up to her, pushing her in the back, and exclaiming, “What a place to bump into a girl like you!” It was corny but it worked, and Lorey invited him back to her place. The mutual attraction was instant and sexual – but, for Jamie, there was something more this time. For a confirmed promiscuous bachelor, Jamie confided to friends that, whisper it quietly, Lorey might actually be the one. He spent time with her, encouraged her photography ambitions, taking her to exhibitions and galleries, and was tickled that one of his favorite songs, The Lovin’ Spoonful's ‘Daydream,' had been written for her. Not to suggest that Jamie's relationship with New York magazine's Insatiable Critic, Gael Greene, was over. Far from it. Even if the novelty of Jamie and Gael's physical and emotional relationship had subsided, they were still intent on documenting their lives, in and out of bed, for a proposed joint-autobiographical book. They continued to go the city's restaurants, cultural events, and glamorous parties, while Jamie spent his in-between time wrestling with whether he wanted an acting career, playing poker, going to the occasional audition, and making semi-regular starring appearances in adult films. In short, Jamie wanted to pursue Lorey, but not give up the affair with Gael. This is Part 2 of the story of Jamie Gillis and Gael Greene in 1978. Jamie This podcast is 49 minutes long.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Health reporter Diana Bletter joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. In improved pop-up clinics, underground parking lots converted to wards and fortified operating rooms, hospitals and health clinics around the country are once again providing services under fire since the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on February 28. Bletter tells us about the first instance that a Lebanon threat brought a Galilee hospital underground and talks about emergency preparedness. In the second half of the program, we drill down into life in the north right now. Bletter talks about what it is like for her personally, as well as reporting on the stalwart northerners who are maintaining Israel's pioneering spirit and staying rooted on the frontline.

Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep.

It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise.

Buckle up for another chaotic ride with HR's Most Dangerous Podcast, where the banter is sharp, the takes are hot, and no industry sacred cow is safe from the slaughter. In this episode, Joel Cheesman, JT O'Donnell, and Maureen Clough (with a hit-and-run cameo from Chad Sowash) navigate a conversational minefield that stretches from high-stakes geopolitical dread to the gritty future of how we all get paid. The crew kicks things off with a dive into the "dark humor" of global escalations and movie hot takes before pivoting to the real-world anxieties of the modern professional. Is the resume finally dead, or is it just being fitted for a digital tuxedo? The team squares off on whether AI "slop" has officially broken the application process, leading to a fiery debate on why your personal brand might be the only life raft left in an unstable sea. From the rise of video-first branding to the "human-in-the-loop" reality of Anthropic's latest AI study, the hosts dissect who is actually at risk of being replaced and who is just being handed better tools. The episode also serves up a masterclass in modern marketing, dissecting a viral $80M funding round that proves "knowledge creators" might be the new kings of recruiting—though Joel isn't sold on the hype just yet. Between legacy tech acquisitions that feel a little too "desperate" and a sobering look at the "broken rung" still stalling women in leadership, this episode balances cynicism with a blueprint for survival. Whether you're worried about flying cars or just trying to survive the next wave of AI-driven layoffs, this is the snark-filled reality check you need. Ready to hear why your LinkedIn engagement is tanking and why a Big Mac video might be the future of executive branding? Hit play and join the conversation.

How can the simple act of asking a sincere question awaken us from the trance of our habitual thinking? In this talk, Tara Brach explores the transformative power of spiritual inquiry—a practice that guides us beyond our stories and into direct, embodied awareness of what is truly happening within us. Through reflection, teachings from Buddhist wisdom traditions, and guided inquiry, Tara invites us to investigate questions like "What is happening inside me right now?" and "What am I believing?" These questions help reveal the beliefs and emotional patterns that keep us stuck and open the doorway to greater freedom, compassion, and presence. You'll also learn how inquiry supports the RAIN practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture)—a powerful method for meeting fear, self-doubt, and emotional suffering with mindful awareness and kindness. By bringing curiosity to our inner life, we begin to loosen the grip of limiting beliefs and rediscover the spacious awareness that is our true nature. In this talk, Tara explores: • How spiritual inquiry helps awaken us from the "interpreted world" of thoughts • Questions that deepen mindfulness and self-awareness • Using inquiry within the RAIN meditation practice • How investigating beliefs can free us from fear and self-judgment • Opening to the mystery and aliveness of present-moment awareness Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Dive into the ultimate illusion of entertainment on The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel. In this episode, Lionel tears down the facade of show business, exploring Hollywood's historical influence and its looming decline as the Oscars fight desperately to stay relevant against the rise of YouTube and AI. From the infamous lip-syncing scandals of Milli Vanilli to the secretly dubbed voices of classic cinema, Lionel and his crew question the ethics of authenticity and whether fans even care if legends like Barbra Streisand sing live. Finally, trade the Hollywood red carpet for the professional wrestling ring with gritty, bone-crunching behind-the-scenes tales. Featuring legendary stories of Mick Foley's terrifying Hell in a Cell fall and Terry Funk's brutal injuries, this episode proves that the "fake" sport of wrestling is often far more dangerous than reality.
