Podcasts about Rand

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with Pablo Lopez leaving a spring training throwing session with elbow pain. It's too early to be too concerned, but it is worth remember that it was a Lopez injury that sent the Twins' season off the rails in 2025. Plus a big night for the Heise family. 8:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins Rand to talk about the Gophers women's basketball team's surge. They've won eight in a row and just cracked the AP top 25. 28:00: The best time of the year for high school hockey.

Ontdek waarom Jezus in Matteüs 10:34-11:1 zegt dat Hij geen vrede brengt maar vijandschap, en wat dat betekent voor je relatie met familie en geloof. Wie staat bovenaan jouw lijstje? Hoe kun jij anderen helpen die voor deze moeilijke keuzes staan?

Wir sind wieder da! Nach der Pause ist vor der Pause! Deshalb gibt es hier erst mal eine große Flut von Neuigkeiten zum Podcast.In dieser Folge erleben wir vermutlich DEN Climax des Filmes.

Deutschland erlebt eine Zeitenwende der Kommunalfinanzen. Haben die Kommunen zwischen 2015 und 2022 noch über 40 Milliarden Euro an Überschüssen erzielt, fahren Städte und Gemeinden seit 2023 immer größere Defizite ein. Für 2025 und die kommenden Jahre werden Defizite von über 30 Milliarden pro Jahr erwartet. Die wesentliche Verantwortung für die Misere trägt dabei die Bundespolitik, die den Kommunen viele Aufgaben überträgt, ohne für die Kosten aufzukommen. Doch die Probleme gehen nicht primär auf sinkende Einnahmen zurück, sondern auf eine explosive Ausgabendynamik. Besonders anschaulich wird das Thema am Beispiel der Stadt Erlangen. Eine vermeintlich wohlhabende Wissenschafts- und Industriestadt, getragen von Großunternehmen wie Siemens, kippt innerhalb weniger Monate in eine Haushaltsnotsituation. Der Grund ist allerdings kein Schicksalsschlag, sondern eine Mischung aus Einnahmenillusion und Ausgabenexpansion – und damit ist die Situation in Erlangen symptomatisch für die Republik. Im Gespräch mit Daniel Stelter erklärt der Kommunalpolitiker und OB-Kandidat für Erlangen Prof. Dr. Holger Schulze, wie ambitionierte Klimapolitik, teure Infrastrukturprojekte und ein plötzlicher Einbruch der Gewerbesteuer die Stadt an den Rand der Zahlungsunfähigkeit gebracht haben. Schulze zeigt am konkreten Beispiel, wie Kommunen immer mehr Aufgaben übertragen bekommen, ohne dass deren Finanzierung und Prioritätensetzung gesichert sind.

There is a well-known cognitive phenomenon that we are all susceptible to, and even more so when we're stressed. And we're all at least a little stressed and overwhelmed right now.The illusory truth effect catches us when we repeatedly hear statements and begin to assume they are true through repetition and familiarity. Things feel true, even if they couldn't be further from it. Research has shown that sheer repetition can even override facts when we know better.Naming–systems, feelings, what we're witnessing, what's missing, what's wrong–is a powerful antidote to the illusory truth effect. Naming forces us to slow down. It interrupts the repetition. We can't meaningfully talk about integrity, values, courage, or innovation if we refuse to look directly at what is.My guest today reminds us that we can't disrupt what we can't name. And we can't heal what stays vague.Soraya Chemaly is an award-winning author and activist. As a cultural critic, she writes and speaks frequently about gender norms, social justice, free speech, sexualized violence, politics, and technology. The former Executive Director of The Representation Project and Director and co-founder of the Women's Media Center Speech Project, she has long been committed to expanding women's civic and political participation.Her most recent book, All We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male Supremacy, has been called “a potent rallying cry for a beleaguered feminist movement.”  In it, she challenges dearly held beliefs about gender and equality today, drawing clear lines between the dynamics of intimate inequality and global anti-feminist, anti-democratic backlash and machofascism.Content warning: Discussion of details of the video footage leading up to Renee Good's murder, less-detailed discussion of sexual and gender-based violence and harassmentListen to the full episode to hear:Why we need to name systems clearly and specifically in order to challenge themHow male supremacy encompasses concepts of sexism, misogyny, and patriarchy and frames them as part of a larger hierarchical systemHow we're witnessing DARVO play out at scale in our government and media, as well as in personal interactionsHow deepfakes use the pervasive threat of sexual violence against women to dehumanize and enforce subjugationHow women play roles in passing on and enforcing male supremacyHow “the boy crisis” reinforces norms of masculinity at the expense of girls and womenWhy big tent politics that asks everyone but cis, straight men to give up fundamental rights cannot be a yardstick of successLearn more about Soraya Chemaly:WebsiteInstagram: @sorayachemalyAll We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male SupremacySubscribe to UnmannedLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Dechêne, A., Stahl, C., Hansen, J., & Wänke, M..

Send a textWelcome to a special Hall of Fame edition of The State of Energy, hosted by Rand DeWitt and Tom Clark, Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Propane Association in alliance with the Colorado Propane Gas Association.This episode features a heavyweight guest in the energy world — author, journalist, and documentary producer Robert Bryce — for a wide-ranging conversation on the biggest issues shaping America's energy future.The discussion dives into Winter Storm Fern vs. Winter Storm Uri, why duration and fuel diversity matter during extreme weather, and how hydrocarbons like propane and natural gas continue to prove critical when the grid is under pressure. Tom and Rand also explore Department of Energy emergency orders, data center power demand, and whether behind-the-meter generation actually helped stabilize the grid during recent cold snaps.Robert Bryce shares insights on:The real lessons from major winter storms and grid resilienceChris Wright and the current direction of U.S. energy policyThe nuclear comeback and the rise of mini-reactorsWhy Big Tech and data centers may consume the next wave of new power generationEnergy poverty, global electrification, and supply chain constraintsCourt battles over electrification mandates and fuel choiceThe conversation also brings it back home to energy consumers — highlighting how propane for heating, water heating, cooking, and backup power can reduce grid demand, improve resilience, and strengthen energy security for rural and urban communities alike.With signature humor, policy insight, and a few off-the-grid moments (including UFO energy theories and baseball rule reform), this episode blends serious energy analysis with the classic State of Energy banter listeners expect.Presented by Metsa Tanks and fueled by real-world energy conversations that matter — from the Rockies to the national stage.

Did you know that when you ask ChatGPT for a product recommendation, ChatGPT can recommend 50+ different brands for the same prompt?In this episode, we break down Rand Fishkin's latest research on the extreme variance in AI search results across ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. His team gathered 600 volunteers, ran nearly 3,000 queries, and the findings are eye-opening. Here are some key insights:LLMs can share 50 different companies for each product related prompt. The chance of getting the exact same list of brands twice is less than 1%.The top 6 brands are mentioned over 80% of the time. So what does this mean for marketers trying to track their GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) performance? Most AI visibility tools give you a misleading snapshot — you ran one prompt, you showed up, and you think you're winning. But run it again and you might not show up at all.We walk through Rand's key charts and takeaways, explain why "rank" is meaningless in AI results (unlike SEO), and show how the top brands in any category still get mentioned consistently 70-90%+ of the time. Then we hop into Traqer.ai to show how our topic-based GEO approach — running multiple prompt variations per topic — gives you a far more accurate and responsible picture of your actual AI visibility.If you're doing GEO or reporting on AI visibility to leadership, this is a must-watch.

La figura de André Rand quedó unida para siempre a Cropsey, una de las leyendas urbanas más inquietantes de Staten Island. Rand tuvo una infancia y juventud marcadas por problemas psicológicos, comportamiento errático y conflictos con la ley. Era conserje en la Willowbrook State School, una institución para niños con discapacidades intelectuales. Cropsey era un supuesto monstruo que acechaba a los niños en los bosques y túneles cercanos a esta escuela. La terrible figura de Cropsey, un loco asesino, se transmitía entre los niños como advertencia y entretenimiento macabro. Esta noche conoceremos mejor a este personaje de la mano del sociólogo y editor Pablo Vergel y el ilustrador Tomás Hijo.

While everyone panics about ChatGPT stealing traffic and AI replacing jobs, the data tells a different story. For every search on ChatGPT, there are 373 searches on Google. AI's disruption is far less dramatic than media hype suggests. Rand Fishkin challenges this prevailing wisdom about AI's impact on B2B marketing. In this conversation, Rand and Shahin explore why consensus views are usually wrong, how to build marketing strategies around actual audience behaviour, and what Rand learnt from building Moz versus SparkToro. From audience intelligence research to radical transparency about the venture capital trap, Rand delivers insights that help B2B marketers make smarter decisions. Guest Introduction Rand Fishkin is the co-founder and CEO of SparkToro, an audience research software company, and Snackbar Studio, an indie game development studio. Previously, he founded Moz, where he grew the company from debt to $50M+ in revenue over 17 years. He's the author of Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World and is known for his radical transparency about startup life and his contrarian takes on marketing trends. Key Topics AI's real impact on search: Data shows ChatGPT handles one search for every 373 on Google, and AI hasn't caused predicted job displacement (US unemployment remains historically low).Audience-specific research: Rather than following industry trends, marketers should investigate where their audience spends time using tools like SparkToro to discover relevant channels and influencers.Channel strategy and execution: Effective B2B marketing requires both overarching positioning strategy plus channel-specific tactical approaches for LinkedIn, email, and content platforms.Learning from hype cycles: From mobile apps to crypto, media creates fear-based narratives around technology that rarely match reality, and marketers who chase every trend waste resources.Building companies differently: Rand compares growing Moz with VC funding to building SparkToro through alternative funding, highlighting how serving investors rather than customers creates misaligned incentives.

Im Donnerstags-Podcast von "Blick in die Bibel", pünktlich zum Start des Straßenkarnevals, erzählt Georg Hinz von seiner engen Verbindung zum Kölschen Karneval. Für ihn ist Musik der Schlüssel: gemeinsames Singen schafft Gemeinschaft, tut der Seele gut und bringt Menschen von innen heraus in Bewegung. Mit dem Projekt "Loss mer singe" hilft er vielen, Karneval intensiver zu erleben – nicht perfekt, sondern mit Herz.Beim Text aus dem Markusevangelium zeigt Georg Hinz, wie die Geschichte, bei der Jesus die Tochter einer syrophönizischen Frau heilt, Mut macht: Gottes Botschaft ist nicht exklusiv, sondern für alle da. Sie fordert Demut, Offenheit und den Blick für die, die am Rand stehen. Eine Folge, die Karneval, Glauben und Lebensfreude überraschend nah zusammenbringt.Aus dem MarkusevangeliumIn jener Zeit brach Jesus auf und zog in das Gebiet von Tyrus. Er ging in ein Haus, wollte aber, dass niemand davon erfuhr; doch es konnte nicht verborgen bleiben. Eine Frau, deren Tochter von einem unreinen Geist besessen war, hörte von ihm; sie kam sogleich herbei und fiel ihm zu Füßen. Die Frau, von Geburt Syrophönízierin, war eine Heidin. Sie bat ihn, aus ihrer Tochter den Dämon auszutreiben.Da sagte er zu ihr: Lasst zuerst die Kinder satt werden; denn es ist nicht recht, das Brot den Kindern wegzunehmen und den kleinen Hunden vorzuwerfen. Sie erwiderte ihm: Herr! Aber auch die kleinen Hunde unter dem Tisch essen von den Brotkrumen der Kinder. Er antwortete ihr: Weil du das gesagt hast, sage ich dir: Geh nach Hause, der Dämon hat deine Tochter verlassen!Und als sie nach Hause kam, fand sie das Kind auf dem Bett liegen und sah, dass der Dämon es verlassen hatte. (Mk 7,24-30)(© Ständige Kommission für die Herausgabe der gemeinsamen liturgischen Bücher im deutschen Sprachgebiet)

Korrektur: In einer früheren Version dieses Videos wurde fälschlicherweise angegeben, Ghislaine Maxwell stamme aus bescheidenen Verhältnissen. Die Epstein-Akten sind eine massive Datenflut: über drei Millionen Seiten mit Dokumenten, Videos und Fotos. In Europa haben die Veröffentlichungen bereits konkrete Folgen. Ex-Botschafter treten zurück, Minister geraten unter Verdacht, Königshäuser stehen unter öffentlichem Druck. Auch in Deutschland wächst der politische Druck, mögliche Verbindungen systematisch auszuwerten; Abgeordnete fordern eine Prüfung durch die Nachrichtendienste und eine transparente Aufarbeitung möglicher Kontakte.   In den USA hingegen verlagert sich die Debatte bislang vor allem auf formale Fragen der Veröffentlichung: Schwärzungen, Fristen, Zuständigkeiten – und auf parteipolitische Schuldzuweisungen. Politische oder juristische Konsequenzen für schwer belastete Spitzenfiguren bleiben weitgehend aus. Kritiker werfen dem Justizministerium vor, mit fehlerhaften Schwärzungen den Opferschutz zu unterlaufen und zugleich den Eindruck selektiver Geheimhaltung zu erwecken. So droht die Aufarbeitung in prozeduralen Debatten steckenzubleiben, während die Aussagen der Überlebenden erneut an den Rand gedrängt werden.   Eine der wichtigsten Fragen bleibt: Wann, wenn überhaupt, wird endlich aus der Perspektive der Opfer verstanden und debattiert? Wie kann es sein, dass die Aufklärung bis heute blockiert wird? Und für wen könnten die Files doch noch gefährlich werden? Darüber spricht Dilan Gropengiesser in der 127. Folge von Was jetzt? – Die Woche mit Rieke Havertz, internationale ZEIT-Korrespondentin und Co-Gastgeberin des Podcasts OK, America?.    Unsere Sendung sehen Sie immer donnerstags auf zeit.de und auf YouTube.

Send a textThis episode breaks down one of the most misunderstood attributes in Air Force Special Warfare: drive. Aaron explains why drive and grit aren't about hype, yelling, or being the best on day one—they're about self-initiation, perseverance, and long-term commitment when the outcome is uncertain. Using real selection examples, RAND research, and hard lessons from the pipeline, this episode shows how instructors actually evaluate drive: effort when exhausted, bouncing back from failure, refusing victim mentality, and staying locked on the end state. Motivation fades. Drive doesn't. If you're waiting to “find grit” at selection, you're already late.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and defining drive 02:10 Drive vs grit—same engine, different words 04:45 Attributes-based selection and raw materials 07:00 Motivation is fake—discipline wins 09:30 Drive vs fitness vs stress tolerance 12:40 How instructors actually evaluate drive 16:10 Max effort when failure is guaranteed 19:15 Bouncing back from setbacks 22:30 Victim vs victor mentality 25:40 Pipeline ≠ goal—the job is 28:45 Drive as a buildable skill 31:30 Final charge: impose your will

#208 - A helicopter door swung open over Vietnam, and years later a trail opened underfoot across the Appalachians. That arc—war to wilderness, adrenaline to stillness—frames Ron Timmerman's rare story of brotherhood, love, loss, and the long work of healing. We invited Ron to unpack the moments that shaped him: flying Hueys as a teenage door gunner, returning with unspoken trauma, and building a life with Edie, a fierce and generous mother of seven whose faith defined their home.Ron's voice is steady as he talks about caregiving through Edie's stroke, the quiet after she passed, and the decision to hike the Appalachian Trail with his brother Rand and stepson Rick. They disagreed, found a structure that respected different paces, and in the process became closer than they'd been in decades. Along the way, the trail offered proof that meaning can arrive unannounced—a brilliant doorway of light on a bleak Father's Day, the sudden drift of “Can't Help Falling in Love” from a stranger's earbuds, and countless small moments of service that stitched the miles together.What stands out is the ethic that carried Ron through: stay busy with purpose, help others when you can, and keep faith when the map goes dark. He shares practical wisdom for navigating grief, the value of simple kindness on and off the trail, and the way Rand turned his own recovery into daily service for people who needed a voice on the line. If you're wrestling with loss, searching for direction, or simply craving a human story that rings true, this conversation offers both grit and grace in equal measure.Subscribe for more stories of resilience and connection, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find The Human Adventure.

I was so lucky to have Rand say "yes" to being on this podcast because, simply, he tells a story that is so powerful, and such a good reminder that we can be of service (indeed, as Rand says, that is the ONLY reason we are here) to our family members, to those we care about, our friends as well as the greater world out there and help to make this world a more beautiful place!Rand has had many adventures and truly has lived life with gusto-AND, he was there for his brother when his little brother needed it-mired in grief and moving through the loss of his beloved wife Rand decided then and there that he was going to accompany his brother on the Appalachian Trail, no matter the consequences.

Die südlichste Region Chiles ist ein weitgehend unberührtes Naturparadies. Doch sei es bei der Energiegewinnung oder im Welthandel: Längst sind internationale Player auf die Region aufmerksam geworden. Dort löst dies gemischte Gefühle aus. Die EU will in naher Zukunft im grossen Stil grünen Wasserstoff aus Chile importieren. Dafür wurden verschiedene Projekte von europäischen Unternehmen angekündigt. In Patagonien sollen mehrere Windparks entstehen. Ein einziger dieser Windparks wäre fast zwei Mal so gross wie der Bodensee. Salvador Harambour sieht darin ein unglaubliches Potenzial für die Region, die unter starker Abwanderung leidet. Durch die Investitionen entstünden Jobs, die jungen Menschen eine Perspektive böten, so der Interessensvertreter der Energiewirtschaft. Anders sehen es Umweltschützer. Sie fürchten die Windturbinen würden zur Todesfalle für zahlreiche Vögel, und warnen vor einer Zerstörung des Ökosystems. Ein Ökosystem, das bislang noch weitgehend intakt ist und neben Zugvögeln auch Pinguinen oder Pumas einen Lebensraum bietet. Chiles neuer Präsident José Antonia Kast, der am rechten Rand anzusiedeln ist, verspricht eine wirtschaftsfreundliche Politik. Während Unternehmer nun auf mehr Tempo hoffen, fürchten Aktivisten und Aktivistinnen den Abbau von Umweltstandards. So, wie es in Argentinien bereits geschieht, wo mit Javier Milei ebenfalls ein rechter Präsident das Land regiert. Auch im Handel gewinnt Patagonien an Bedeutung: Die Magellanstrasse wird für die globale Schifffahrt immer wichtiger. Strategisch ist die Region als Tor zur Antarktis zudem günstig gelegen. Dies alles hat die Aufmerksamkeit der Grossmächte geweckt, die ihre Präsenz in der Region ausbauen.

JLXP Ep: 128 | LPL Update w/ Emily Rand -- BLG, AL, JDG, & Why you should watch the LPL

Introduction: Host Michael Rand got in just under the wire, delaying the start of the show to get the Wolves trade with the Bulls for Ayo Dosunmu in. The Wolves sent out four second-round picks as well as Rob Dillingham and Leonard Miller to get Dosnumu, a guard who should help their depth. Plus good wins for the Wolves, Gophers and Wild. 8:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for a debate on the Wolves plus Minnesota United speculation and Olympics news. 30:00: Is Giannis staying put?

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves trade of Mike Conley. Is this just a salary dump of a once-useful player, or is it a precursor to a blockbuster move for Giannis Antetokounmpo before Thursday's NBA trade deadline? Rand gets into that as well as an ode to Conley. 8:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins on a number of subjects, including Derek Falvey's departure from the Twins as well as the Vikings' path forward. 34:00: A listener wants more attention paid to one local team, and he's not wrong.

Die südlichste Region Chiles ist ein weitgehend unberührtes Naturparadies. Doch sei es bei der Energiegewinnung oder im Welthandel: Längst sind internationale Player auf die Region aufmerksam geworden. Dort löst dies gemischte Gefühle aus. Die EU will in naher Zukunft im grossen Stil grünen Wasserstoff aus Chile importieren. Dafür wurden verschiedene Projekte von europäischen Unternehmen angekündigt. In Patagonien sollen mehrere Windparks entstehen. Ein einziger dieser Windparks wäre fast zwei Mal so gross wie der Bodensee. Salvador Harambour sieht darin ein unglaubliches Potenzial für die Region, die unter starker Abwanderung leidet. Durch die Investitionen entstünden Jobs, die jungen Menschen eine Perspektive böten, so der Interessensvertreter der Energiewirtschaft. Anders sehen es Umweltschützer. Sie fürchten die Windturbinen würden zur Todesfalle für zahlreiche Vögel, und warnen vor einer Zerstörung des Ökosystems. Ein Ökosystem, das bislang noch weitgehend intakt ist und neben Zugvögeln auch Pinguinen oder Pumas einen Lebensraum bietet. Chiles neuer Präsident José Antonio Kast, der am rechten Rand anzusiedeln ist, verspricht eine wirtschaftsfreundliche Politik. Während Unternehmer nun auf mehr Tempo hoffen, fürchten Aktivisten und Aktivistinnen den Abbau von Umweltstandards. So, wie es in Argentinien bereits geschieht, wo mit Javier Milei ebenfalls ein rechter Präsident das Land regiert. Auch im Handel gewinnt Patagonien an Bedeutung: Die Magellanstrasse wird für die globale Schifffahrt immer wichtiger. Strategisch ist die Region als Tor zur Antarktis zudem günstig gelegen. Dies alles hat die Aufmerksamkeit der Grossmächte geweckt, die ihre Präsenz in der Region ausbauen.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves and Wild. The Wolves snapped a four-game winning streak with a loss at Memphis that left head coach Chris Finch exasperated. But it is par for the course from recent years near the trade deadline. The Wild won 4-3 in overtime, continuing a recent trend of winning despite giving up a lot of goals. 7:00: Andrew Krammer joins Rand to discuss the aftermath of GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah being fired by the Vikings on Friday. 33:00: A Justin Jefferson quote and more Patriots Hall of Fame fallout.

Greenland has suddenly emerged as a focal point in the global competition for critical minerals and energy. This episode explores the Arctic island's strategic importance through conversations examining how resource competition and geopolitics are converging in one of Earth's most remote locations. Host Eklavya Gupte speaks with Kip Keen, senior reporter at S&P Global Energy, on Greenland's mineral potential and the sobering realities facing companies that have invested there. Euan Sadden, senior editor at S&P Global Energy, interviews Jørgen T. Hammeken-Holm, deputy minister at Greenland's ministry of business, mineral resources and energy, about the regulatory environment and investor response to growing interest in the island's mineral wealth. Euan also speaks with Nicolas Jouan, a defense and security analyst at RAND, who explains why Greenland has become such a strategic focal point in a new era of resource security.

Here's another episode that revists a topic we've covered before. A while back, we did an episode on the downsides of cannabis (for example, the risk of psychosis). But of course, a lot of people claim there are medical benefits, too! Not least among them is Donald Trump, who recently re-scheduled cannabis so that it can be studied more for medical purposes.That research is sorely needed. In this episode, we discuss the very uncertain state of our knowledge on medical marijuana.The Science Fictions podcast is brought to you by Works in Progress magazine, where you can find Samuel Hughes's excellent new article on “Urban expansion in the age of liberalism”, as discussed in today's episode. That's at worksinprogress.co—which is packed full of other great articles on science, tech, and human progress.Show notes* “Trump expands access to cannabis” (December 2025)* Info from the DEA on drug schedules* The new JAMA review on medical marijuana* Reason article on the 2011 RAND study; Retraction Watch article on the same* Studies on the crime impacts of medical marijuana (increase; neutral; decrease)* Useful 2021 review of the wider societal effects of medical marijuana legalisation* 2020 Arizona “natural experiment” study* Washington Post article on the poor resemblance of “real” marijuana compared to what's allowed for research studies* Survey on the use of cannabis for medical purposesCreditsThe Science Fictions podcast is produced by Julian Mayers at Yada Yada Productions.

Erica Rand has just published a new book called ‘Skating Away from the Binary', which looks at our skating and our struggle to be allowed to compete as a gender-nonconforming pair team, and examines issues around gender binaries, sports, and politics in a very accessible way.As well as being my pairs partner and friend, Erica is a professor of Art and Visual Culture and of Gender and Sexuality Studies at Bates College. Many of her courses concern the intersections of gender, race, and sexuality—including a course called Queer and Trans Sports Studies. A longtime activist and cultural critic, Erica has written on topics ranging from Barbie to Ellis Island, and has used her experience as an adult figure skater and group-lessons coach to help her think and write about opening up sport and movement for all.Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZJtaqOxw0iczfAoyGiiY94Z-fqo8yh3ZX0GvLPTzxm0/edit?tab=t.0 You can order “Skating Away from the Binary” through the University of Minnesota Press: https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517920555/skating-away-from-the-binary/Links:More about Erica: https://www.bates.edu/faculty/profile...Erica's first book skating book, “Red Nails, Black Skates” https://www.dukeupress.edu/red-nails-...Riki Wilchins, When Texas Came for Our Kids / when-texas-came-for-our-kids You can reach me with comments or suggestions for people I should talk to by email at fsfuturepodcast @ gmail.com or instagram at futurefspodcast.You can also support the podcast by making a one-time or recurring contribution at Ko-Fi.com/futureoffigureskating.

Send us a textThis episode closes out the Attributes Series with one of the most mission-critical traits in Air Force Special Warfare: stress tolerance. Aaron breaks down what stress tolerance actually means—not being emotionless, but staying inside the performance window when stakes are high. From eustress vs distress to stress inoculation, breath control, visualization, and recovery, this is a practical blueprint for how instructors evaluate candidates under pressure. Mass casualties, buddy breathing, danger-close CAS—this attribute decides whether you freeze, spiral, or perform. Stress is guaranteed.

ICE and CBP Goons are that most toxic of combinations: mean and stupid. They proved it when they assaulted a retired couple at church and again when they tried to literally invade Ecuador. No. Really. The idiot dipshits tried to invade the Ecuadoran Consulate in Minneapolis, which is Ecuadorian soil. In other news, li'l Marco went to the Senate and had a hard time with  . . . logic . . . from Rand . . . Paul? Sometimes it makes my poor, feminine head hurt.

First, purely basketball as they talk about depth and the approaching trade deadline. Second, the atmosphere inside Target Center over the weekend after another killing in Minneapolis. Third, the mood of season ticket holders. 36:00: Two good letters from listeners on the Vikings and Twins.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, including New England and Seattle prevailing in conference title games to set up a Super Bowl matchup.
