Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with thoughts on J.J. McCarthy and Kevin O'Connell, who sound a lot like each other when breaking down the Vikings' offense. That's not a bad thing at all. Plus a good win for the Lynx over New York. 10:00: Phil Miller joins Rand to break down a very strange and newsy day for the Twins. They confused one player. They enraged another. And then they traded their star closer. That about sums it up in a season that has gone off the rails. 33:00: A Leagues Cup win for Minnesota United.

Kentucky's U.S. Senators are at odds over hemp, a state lawmaker plans to take his ethics lawsuit to the federal level, celebrating Appalachia through an heirloom seed swap, and honoring a former Kentucky journalist.

Introduction: The Twins' trade deadline chatter featured a curveball as reports have emerged that Houston is considering trying to trade for shortstop Carlos Correa. What would that look like for the Twins and Correa, who has a no-trade clause in the six-year, $200 million deal he signed before 2023? 8:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins Rand to break down what he has seen so far at Vikings camp. Plus some talk about the Twins' long-term plan. 27:00: Lynx vs. Liberty was a great but controversial WNBA Finals last year. Those same teams will play four times in the next few weeks.

China's military is not a real army - it's the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party. Ideology is paramount and corruption is endemic. Plus, the People's Liberation Army hasn't fought a war since 1979. Xi Jinping calls it “the peace disease”. In episode two of this three-part series, Venetia Rainey looks at the PLA's weaknesses and how the Chinese president Xi is trying to fix them, from endless purges of top generals to a specially built training centre in Mongolia and live-fire drills around Taiwan. This series on China's military dives into the strengths and weaknesses of China's military and its remarkable transformation over the last few decades from obsolete to world-class.How significant is China's military buildup? What does Xi Jinping's ongoing purge mean for the People's Liberation Army? And how likely is an invasion of Taiwan in the next few years? As the US pivots to the Indo-Pacific and the threat of a truly global war looms, understanding the evolving role of China's military on the world stage has never been more important.Listen to episode one of this series on China's military here.

When you think of debate, you might picture presidential candidates interrupting each other, pointing fingers, and undermining their opponents. It often feels like a reflection of today's fractured and tense civic discourse. But in high school debate clubs, students are learning a different approach. These clubs provide a rare space where young people can engage with current events, articulate their ideas, and—perhaps most importantly—practice active listening. At a time when algorithms often reinforce a single perspective and fewer young people engage with the news, that's no small thing. A 2022 RAND report found that only 37% of schools have debate clubs. What are these clubs doing right, and should that number be higher?

Introduction: On a Twins-heavy show, host Michael Rand starts with Monday's dramatic walk-off win after a thunderstorm, which was preceded by the first pre-deadline trade by the Twins. They sent out Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak, undoing two of the more regrettable moves of the Derek Falvey regime. 10:00: Bobby Nightengale joins Rand to break down the Twins' big picture outlook. Why did this season go off the rails? Look at player development first, Nightengale says. And who else might be traded before Thursday's deadline? 31:00: The pads are popping at Vikings camp and the Gophers got a goalie recruit.

Rand Fishkin is the Co‑founder and CEO of SparkToro, a software company he launched in 2018 to make audience and market research more accessible to marketers and creators. He previously co‑founded Moz (originally SEOmoz) in 2003 and helped scale it into a leading SEO software company before stepping down as CEO in 2014. Rand authored Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World, co‑authored The Art of SEO, and is widely recognized for his Whiteboard Friday video series and keynote speaking at over 100 international events.  In this episode… Modern marketers face a harsh reality: The tools they once relied on to track performance — like attribution models — are now deeply flawed. As data becomes increasingly fragmented across devices, platforms, and privacy barriers, understanding what truly drives customer behavior has grown more complicated than ever. How can brands measure success when attribution data can no longer be trusted? Rand Fishkin, a digital marketing and audience research specialist, offers a compelling case for abandoning rigid attribution models in favor of more human-centric, lift-based measurement. He recommends marketers return to fundamentals and observe customer behavior across multiple touchpoints, test messaging across regions or channels, and evaluate net impact over time. Rand encourages brands to shift focus from granular ROI tracking to identifying where their audience spends time and investing in channels, like podcasts and blogs, where competitors aren't yet visible. He also cautions against over-optimizing for paid media and emphasizes the power of brand presence and share of mind in an era dominated by AI-driven discovery. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris interviews Rand Fishkin, Co-founder and CEO of SparkToro, about how marketers can adapt to the changing digital landscape. Rand explores why traditional attribution is breaking down, how audience research unlocks new opportunities, and the flaws in post-purchase surveys. He also dives into AI's role in SEO, the influence of brand mentions over backlinks, and the importance of leading with transparency and kindness.

(I'm off this week, so I'm featuring one of my favorite interviews, which I first released in July of 2024. I hope you like it!)Today's episode is part one of a two part interview with Rand Schenk, author of a fascinating and timely new history of the Forest Service, its founder, Gifford Pinchot, and over 100 years of forest management and mismanagement in the Pacific Northwest.The book, “Forest Under Siege: The Story of Old Growth After Gifford Pinchot”,  explores the Forest Service's progressive populist origins, how it abandoned its founding mission of conservation and drove our old growth forests to the brink of extinction, and how, or if, the agency is entering a new restoration ecology era.Forest Under Siege is available at local bookstores throughout the northwest, and you can order a copy online by searching for Forest Under Siege.My email is coastrangeradio@gmail.comhttps://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/

BizNews founder Alec Hogg checks in with Piet Viljoen and Magnus Heystek as their four-year Million Rand investment face-off nears its conclusion. Viljoen's local-value strategy holds a narrow lead, but Heystek's offshore picks are closing fast. With 16 months to go, the race reveals hard truths about markets, fund managers and the surprising resilience of SA equities.

Viele Führungskräfte kennen es nur zu gut: Die To-do-Liste ist endlos, der Kalender blockiert, Meetings reihen sich aneinander – und irgendwo dazwischen sollen strategische Entscheidungen, empathische Gespräche und der eigene Anspruch an gute Führung Platz finden. Am Ende des Tages bleibt oft ein Gefühl von Getriebensein – statt von Gestaltung. Hinzu kommt der innere Druck: immer präsent, immer souverän, immer produktiv sein zu müssen. Klarheit? Fehlanzeige. Zeit für sich selbst? Wenn überhaupt, dann ganz am Rand. Selbstführung – so scheint es – fällt dem Aktionismus zum Opfer. Und doch liegt gerade hier der Schlüssel: Wer andere führen will, muss zuerst sich selbst führen können. Unser heutiger Gast, Thorsten Reitz, ist überzeugt: Führung beginnt nicht bei Methoden, sondern bei der Haltung – und beim Mut, sich selbst ehrlich zu begegnen. Gemeinsam mit André Häusling hat er das Buch Radical Self Leadership geschrieben. Ein radikales Plädoyer für Selbstverantwortung, Reflexion und echte Klarheit im Führungsalltag. Was das konkret bedeutet, warum Zeitmanagement nicht reicht, und wie ein praxisnahes Modell dabei hilft, wieder vom Reagieren ins Gestalten zu kommen – darüber spreche ich heute mit ihm. Am besten gleich reinhören!

Summary:  We're goingto discuss the multifaceted concept of freedom, contrasting it with equanimityand responsibility. We examine freedom as both an internal state of liberationfrom attachments and anxieties, and an external state requiring self-restraintand intentional action.  We discussachieving freedom through self-awareness and aligning actions with one'sauthentic self, while acknowledging the potential burdens and costs associatedwith true freedom. We try to understand the philosophical perspectives fromCamus and Rand and illustrate the complexities of individual autonomy and thepursuit of meaningful existence. Ultimately, the idea is to emphasize theimportance of a balanced approach, integrating personal power with self-imposedlimitations to navigate life purposefully. Questionsthis podcast attempts to address:  How doesequanimity relate to personal freedom and responsibility?How do wedefine equanimity?Whatparadox regarding freedom and material comfort is depicted?

On this week's episode of Security Dilemma, John Allen Gay and A.J. Manuzzi spoke with Dan Caldwell and Jennifer Kavanagh about their recent Defense Priorities explainer on U.S. defense posture under a grand strategy of restraint. Dan Caldwell is a former senior adviser to the Secretary of Defense and worked on the Trump 2024 transition team. He is a veteran of the Marines and a former Capitol Hill staffer. Jennifer is a senior fellow and director of military analysis at Defense Priorities. She previously was a senior fellow in the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment and a senior political scientist at the RAND Corporation, where she directed RAND's Army Strategy program for three years. Kavanagh's research focuses on U.S. military strategy, force structure and defense budgeting, the defense industrial base, and U.S. military interventions.In this conversation, we discussed how the United States can realign its defense posture with realist core national interests and objectives, and what obstacles such a realignment would face.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, starting with another disappointing series for the Twins. They're 50-55 after losing two of three to the last-place Nationals, and it's enough to ask where the big plan went off the rails. Plus Reusse and Rand get into the 3M Open, Vikings training camp and the Lynx while offering a send-off for departing colleague Jerry Zgoda.

On this episode of Overcoming Distractions, Dave welcomes back Rand Selig, author of Thriving: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life. They dive deep into what it truly means to define personal success and the often-elusive concept of "enough." This conversation is especially relevant for busy professionals, particularly those with ADHD or who identify as neurodivergent, who often push themselves to the brink of burnout. Rand shares insights on shifting away from external markers of achievement to cultivate a more integrated and fulfilling life. Episode Highlights: Defining Your Own Success: The discussion emphasizes that success is deeply personal and should be defined internally, not by societal expectations, parental influence, or external markers like money, status, or titles. Beyond Work-Life Balance: Rand suggests moving past the idea of "work-life balance" as a teeter-totter, instead advocating for the integration of various life components. This helps combat the guilt many feel when dedicating time to one area over another. The "Being" vs. "Doing" Paradigm: Success isn't just about accomplishments (doing); it also involves feelings and internal states (being). A healthy, successful life combines both in a proportion that works for you and can evolve with different life stages. Discovering "Enough": The journey to understanding what "enough" means for you requires courage and honesty. It involves regularly checking in with yourself about choices and whether they align with your values and desired life. Rebuilding After Burnout: For those feeling burnt out or at a turning point, the initial step is self-care and self-compassion, including adequate rest. Seeking support is crucial, and it's important to articulate the specific kind of support you need from others. Rand's 14 Elements of Success: Rand shares his personal framework for success.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a rough Twins loss. After rallying to take the lead on the Dodgers, Minnesota needed just one more strike to win. But instead, a series of events led to a 4-3 loss that oddly calcified how Rand thinks of them this season. 8:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins the show for the weekly debate segment. 26:00: J.J. McCarthy's leadership and big money in the NFL.

Im Herbst 1962 stationiert die Sowjetunion auf Kuba heimlich Atomraketen. Als US-Präsident John F. Kennedy durch Überwachungsfotos davon erfährt, stellt er Moskau ein Ultimatum und droht mit Vergeltung. Es beginnen die gefährlichsten Wochen des Kalten Krieges.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Vikings, who open training camp Wednesday coming off a 14-3 season and a productive offseason. One NFL pundit even says the Vikings have the very best front seven in the NFL. That plus an upgraded offensive line should make Minnesota feel a lot better about life in the trenches this season. 10:00: Star Tribune Gophers football writer Randy Johnson joins Rand from Las Vegas to preview the upcoming season and set up all the changes ahead in college football. 22:00: The Twins got it done, strangely, with the bases loaded. And the Lynx won, too, thanks in part to a Diamond Miller free throw binge.

This week, Brian Ibbott is back on the show to chat with Travis about the 1994 Comedy PCU. Starring Jeremy Piven, Jon Favreau, Megan Ward, Jessica Walter and David Spade. It centers around a high school senios (pre-frosh) visiting Port Chester University where he meets James 'Droz' Andrews and the crew from a house known as The Pit. They need to raise $7k or lose their house to Rand and his preppy gang. So, is this the Animal House of it's generation? Or just another rauncy college "comedy"?

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a 5-2 Twins loss that had plenty of interesting subplots early and late. But the sum of the nine innings reinforced what we have learned through 100 games this season: The Twins just aren't good enough this year. 8:00: Star Tribune summer sports intern Shelby Swanson joins Rand to break down all the big Lynx storylines. They're 20-4 coming out of the All-Star break, and they are dominating headlines. Will that all add up to a championship? 43:00: Old Twins friend Rich Hill is still at it.

Das Sozialversicherungssystem steht am Rand des Kollapses. Das Bürgergeld ist in der Praxis ein Neu-Bürgergeld – die Leistungsbezieher sind überwiegend Menschen, die nach Deutschland eingewandert sind und nie Einkommenssteuer bezahlt haben. Der Staatshaushalt wird nur noch durch immer neue, gigantische Schulden stabilisiert. Doch auch das ist auf Dauer nicht tragfähig. Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz und Finanzminister Lars Klingbeil erkennen die Krise – handeln aber nicht. Roland Tichy bringt es in seinem Kommentar zur Lage der Nation auf den Punkt: „Der Tag ist lang, das Versprechen schnell, die Tat kommt nicht.“ Um das marode System noch für wenige Legislaturperioden über Wasser zu halten, wird nun sogar ein sogenannter Boomer-Soli diskutiert – eine Art Alterssteuer, mit der Rentner, die privat vorgesorgt haben, erneut zur Kasse gebeten werden. Und das, obwohl sie ihre Ersparnisse bereits versteuert haben.

Rand discussed various updates, including changes in NASA funding and personnel. The conversation covered topics such as space policy, lunar missions, commercial space ventures, and the challenges facing NASA and private companies in space exploration. The discussion also touched on the need for leadership in space policy, the potential for future missions to Venus and Mars, and the importance of public and congressional support for space initiatives.

Was passiert mit uns, wenn wir uns für ein Jahr von der Welt zurückziehen? Wenn über Monate hinweg die Sonne nicht mehr aufgeht – und das nächste menschliche Lebenszeichen außerhalb des eigenen kleinen Teams tausend Kilometer entfernt liegt?In dieser zweiten Folge mit Aurelia Hölzer tauchen wir noch tiefer in ihr außergewöhnliches Jahr in der Antarktis ein: Wir sprechen über die völlige Isolation auf der Forschungsstation Neumayer III, über Verantwortung und Vertrauen, über Schlaflosigkeit in der Polarnacht, kreative Notlösungen in der Feldmedizin – und über faszinierende Forschung zu Klimawandel und Weltraummedizin.Aurelia berichtet von Geborgenheit in Extremsituationen, vom Alltag im Ausnahmezustand – und von dem Gefühl, am südlichsten Rand der Welt ein Zuhause gefunden zu haben.Empfehlung zum Weiterhören – Weltwach Folge 284: „Unter den Polarlichtern der Antarktis – mit Robert Schwarz“Redaktion: Miriam MenzPostproduktion: Erik LorenzDieser Podcast wird auch durch unsere Hörerschaft ermöglicht.

President Cyril Ramaphosa said recently the State would spend more than a trillion rand over the next three years on building and repairing infrastructure. It sounds like a lot but it's slightly more than just R300bn a year. Is that it? Public Works Minister Dean MacPherson tells Peter Bruce in this edition of Podcasts from the Edge the R1trn is just what the State has at the ready to spend with private sector partners. If the take-up is strong – across rail, ports, water, health, education -- it could double the State's contribution and get the country to where we are investing the equivalent of more than 25% of our GDP – that finally breaks the growth barrier and gets people working. But government is slow and disjointed and MacPherson wants to see more spending coming through Infrastructure South Africa, which reports to him. Eskom's transmission business, for instance, is buying land for the 14000km of new lines we need. Yet a lot of the land it needs to acquire already belongs to the government. So why pay for it?

Der Besenwagen steht auf halber Strecke am Rand der Passstraße hinauf nach Hautacam. Der Kommissär hat uns rausgewunken, misst die Breite von Lenkrad und Reifen, die Felgenhöhe und in welchem Winkel die Rückspiegel stehen. Alle Messungen bestehen die Kontrolle, aber wir müssen den Heckspoiler, den Überollkäfig, die Anschnallgurte und die Airbags ausbauen und den Motor auf 8.000 Umdrehungen drosseln. „Zur Sicherheit“, lallt der Mann mit dem Poloshirt vom Weltverband und torkelt die Kelle winkend dem nächsten Auto entgegen. Zum Umbau bleibt keine Zeit, die Werbekarawane rauscht vorbei und wir schnappen uns 3 rot gepunktete Sonnenhüte und warten gespannt auf das Peloton. Vive le Tour!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e-3oeMO-0w&t=4s Podcast audio: Ayn Rand viewed the American founding's enshrinement of individuals rights as the greatest political achievement in human history. Yet the rising statism of the twentieth century dramatically undermined those ideals. In Rand's view, America needed a moral revolution: one that renounced the ethics of altruism and embraced the morality of self-interest. What would it take to achieve such a transformation? On Independence Day at the 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference, ARI fellow Ben Bayer took up this question in his provocative talk, “America Should Declare Independence from Altruism.” Bayer argues that it is not enough just to affirm the morality of self-interest in words. Most people — even those who claim to support liberty — remain psychologically dependent on the morality of self-sacrifice and so are unwilling to defend freedom on principle. To illustrate this dependency, Bayer offers an in-depth case study of the COVID lockdowns. He reminds us that these policies were imposed not just by Democrats but also by Republicans, the alleged defenders of American freedom. Republican leaders were cowed by moral pressure to impose shutdowns but have now worked hard to memory-hole their involvement. Bayer argues that Republicans' evasion of their own commitment to altruism dramatized underappreciated insights from Ayn Rand's views on the psychology of altruism.  One of Bayer's most thought-provoking points is that the common pejorative use of the term “virtue signaling” reveals a lingering psychological dependence on altruism: critics mock those who merely signal “virtue” because they are unwilling to challenge the content of the signalers' moral beliefs directly. In the Q&A period, Bayer addresses such topics as: How altruism shaped America's post-9/11 foreign policy; Whether sweeping lockdowns can ever be justified; The enduring relevance of Rand's idea of the sanction of the victim; The problems with the concept of “woke.”

https://youtu.be/9PCQRzAMohQ Podcast audio: As the Ayn Rand Institute marks its 40th anniversary, its mission to spread Objectivism through education has never been more urgent. In his 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference presentation, "Spreading Objectivism: A Vision for ARI's Future," President and CEO Tal Tsfany laid out a bold vision of the “big swings” ARI is taking to bring Objectivism into the cultural mainstream. At the heart of this expansion are major advances in ARI's educational offerings. Tsfany announced that ARI is ahead of schedule in pursuing accreditation for a Master of Arts in Objectivist Studies, aiming to become an accredited university by 2028. Meanwhile, the new ARI Live Courses program will offer quarterly classes at dramatically reduced prices. And a newly launched Intellectual Incubator will help students develop as intellectual entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, ARI is scaling its cultural outreach. The Books for Teachers program aims to distribute 500,000 books annually by 2026 utilizing a  streamlined ordering system. Supporting this outreach is a new AI-enabled Institute website launching this fall, which will provide personalized learning tracks for 750,000 annual visitors. To further Rand's vision of an alliance between businessmen and intellectuals, ARI launched the Atlas Circle, invitation-only intellectual retreats bringing together leading businessmen and Objectivist thinkers. The Circle's first publication, Profit Without Apology: The Need to Stand Up for Business, calls on productive businessmen to push back against moral vilification. ARI's crowning project will be the Ayn Rand Center in Austin, TX, opening September 2, 2028. In addition to improved archival storage for the Ayn Rand Archives, the center will feature a cutting-edge interactive introduction to Rand's novels, the Ayn Rand Immersive Experience. As Tsfany emphasized, these bold initiatives represent the unity of thought and action that Rand envisioned, scaled for our time. To learn more about ARI's efforts to fight for your values, watch Tal Tsfany's 2025 OCON talk.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with another good Twins win during an impressive stretch. It would have been just their luck this season to lose Byron Buxton during Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs, but luckily X-rays were negative after he was hit on the hand by a pitch. Can they keep things rolling? Plus the Lynx lost, but they have no time to dwell on it with another game today. 9:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for the Daily Delivery debate. In focus: Re-examining Twins pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson, determining Terrence Shannon Jr.'s ceiling with the Wolves and deciding what we think of Kirk Cousins. 28:00: The Gophers athletic budget has a considerable shortfall.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with new comments from former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins on the new season of "Quarterback." He said he might have chosen to stay in Minnesota last year if he had known the Falcons would draft a QB and admitted he played through an injury in Atlanta. He doesn't come off as well as he might think. 8:00: Rand welcomes in Twins Daily co-founder Nick Nelson for a conversation about where the Twins stand. Who are the biggest successes and disappointments? What should they do at the trade deadline? Can Matt Wallner start hitting again? 32:00: The quarter-century Timberwolves team.
