Podcasts about RDS

RDS may be one of the smallest signals your FM station transmits, but getting it right matters more than ever. On Episode 804 of This Week in Radio Tech, broadcast network engineer and podcast host, Tyler Woodward, explains the technical details behind RDS and its U.S. counterpart, RBDS. We discuss the data fields every FM engineer should understand, including PI codes, program type, alternate frequencies, and the way field repetition rates affect what listeners see on their radios. Tyler also explains why accurate PI codes are increasingly important for connected-car services such as RadioDNS and dts AutoStage—and points broadcasters to a useful online tool for verifying the correct PI code for their call letters. If you are responsible for an FM station, this is a must-listen—or must-watch—conversation.

Our guest this week is Jason Lopez of Bear, DE who is the Associate Director of Manufacturing in Delaware at SDIX, a bio-technology research firm and father of three including a daughter with Down Syndrome Regressive Disorder (DSRD). Jason and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 23 years and are the proud parents of three children: Kayleigh (29), Jason (20) and middle child Rebecca (22) who has DSRD.We learn about a rare form of Down Syndrome known as Regressive Down Syndrome Disorder (RDSD) a condition that occurs in some adolescents and young adults with Down Syndrome. Regression is used to describe the loss of skills an individual has previously learned. These skills can be daily living, language, movement, or social skills. The loss is often sudden and occurs over a period of weeks to months.We also learn about Jason's invovlement with D.A.D.S. (Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome) a national orgainization with chapters scattered across the country.  It's an authentic and uplifting story about overcoming adversity and acceptance all on this episode of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast.Show Links - Phone – (302) 897-8590Email – pez_shpe@yahoo.comDown Syndrome Regressive Disorder (DSRD) - https://ndss.org/resources/regression-down-syndromeD.A.D.S. - https://www.dadsnational.org/Order your copy of the new 21CD book: Dads Raising Chidlren With Special Needs & Disabilities: A Guide For 21st Century Dads on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4tdvjcvJoin 21CD on the SFN U.S. Tour, a 30 day, 50 state, 60+ stop tour taking place from May 21 to June 21, 2026: to strengthen and grow the Special Fathers Network and distribute 2,000 complimentary copies of our new book.  Special Fathers Network –SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: “I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.  There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through.”SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!How to Become A Successful Personal Trainer vol. 2 interviews coaches and trainers who have lead a successful personal training career. HINT HINT, they don't praise textbook certifications, they focus on hands on learning and building teams.If you want to make real money as a personal trainer, “getting certified” is not the finish line, it's the starting line. We're pulling back the curtain on what we see from the one percenters in the industry: the coaches clearing $125,000+ a year while everyone else wonders why their calendar is empty and their confidence is shaky. We walk through three traits that keep showing up among high performers. First, they chase hands-on learning, not just books and bundles. They do seminars, internships, mentorships, and supervised reps in the trenches, because that's where you learn to handle knee pain, shoulder issues, and real-world client chaos without freezing. Second, they build a serious network, especially physical therapists (DPTs) and registered dietitians (RDs) they can actually talk to, not just follow online. That support raises your competence, your results, and your ability to charge premium rates with integrity. Then we tackle the taboo topic: looking the part. Not extremes, not unrealistic influencer standards, but a clear signal that you practice what you preach and you fit your market. We also share practical ways to “level up” fast, from picking the right mentors to running a SWOT analysis on your business and physique. If you're done with the quick-fix mindset and ready to build a sustainable personal training career, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a trainer friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

In this episode, you'll learn how to recognize medical gaslighting in your own story, why somatic work can be essential before surgery, and how to protect your identity and your relationships when chronic illness takes over your life.In this episode, you'll hear from Candice Craft, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in complex chronic illness, who shares why one of the most powerful things a therapist can say to a new client is simply, "I believe you," and how that single moment starts to undo years of accumulated medical dismissal.Connect with Destiny:  Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________

Send us Fan MailWhat's New in Cloud FinOps: May 2026 Monthly RecapIn this combined monthly recap for May 2026, Frank Contrepois and Stephen Old dive into a vast array of updates across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, with a special focus on the evolving landscape of AI FinOps, hybrid cloud challenges, and a barrage of storage news.The Expanding Scope of FinOps: From Data Centre to AIThe discussion opens by exploring the expansion of FinOps beyond the public cloud to encompass on-premise data centres, software, AI, and sustainability. A central theme is the application of the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS) to on-premise environments. Stephen shares firsthand experience transposing software data into FOCUS to create a converged platform, highlighting the fundamental data challenges, from ingesting contract data to managing the high velocity of cloud data.The conversation then shifts to the burgeoning role of AI, noting its inclusion alongside SaaS and professional services in the modern FinOps scope. This introduces new forecasting challenges, as traditional 18-month budget cycles clash with the rapid pace of weekly AI model releases.A critical point is also raised regarding sustainability. The hosts discuss Amazon's board rejecting a shareholder proposal for detailed climate disclosures, which poses a significant challenge for companies needing granular data for CSRD and SEC compliance.Major Cloud Updates: April 2026AI & FinOps Visibility:A major theme is the improvement in attributing AI spend. A game-changing update from AWS means Bedrock API calls now automatically record the IAM identity (user or role) of the caller directly into CUR 2.0 and Cost Explorer. This eliminates the complex need to reconcile CloudTrail logs to determine who is driving Bedrock costs.Similarly, Amazon Q is now embedded in the AWS Cost Explorer, allowing users to ask natural language questions about their spending (e.g., "Why did my RDS costs spike last month?"). This conversational analysis approach comes with a free tier of 50 queries per month.On the Google Cloud side, a new billing overview widget for Gemini and Vertex AI spend is now in preview. Google is also introducing a "FinOps Explainability Agent," an autonomous AI agent to investigate AI cost drivers, and "Spend Caps" (Private Preview) for services like AI Studio and Vertex AI, which provide crucial cost control by pausing API traffic when a budget is hit.For those managing GPU workloads, Amazon ECS managed instances now support NVIDIA GPU metrics in CloudWatch Container Insights, enabling real-time visibility into GPU utilisation and health to optimise expensive accelerated computing.Cost & Usage Reporting (CUR) Enhancements:There are hints of a potential enhancement to AWS CUR 2.0, which could see new columns added to directly link API calls with costs, revolutionising cost allocation. AWS has also introduced:Scheduled Email Delivery for Billing Dashboards: Securely send reports to stakeholders without console access.Billing Conductor Pass-Through Plan: Simplifies centralised billing for billing transfer users.Cost Optimization Hub CSV Downloads: Easily export savings recommendations.Find out how to leverage CUR for security: "Identifying security risks using AWS cost and usage report data"Compute & Database Innovations:AWS: Released a wave of 8th Generation Intel Instances (C8i, M8i, R8i and network-optimised versions) powered by custom 6th Gen Xeon processors. EC2 Capacity Manager also now supports tag-based dimensions, allowing for more granular capacity optimisation. Amazon Aurora Serverless now boasts up to 30% better performance and, crucially, scales down to zero, a cost-effective option for unpredictable agentic AI workloads.Google Cloud: At Google Cloud Next, they announced both ends of the performance spectrum. The 8th Generation TPUs (v8t for training, v8i for inference) offer massive scale and performance-per-dollar improvements. In a move to democratise access, Google also made fractional GPUs (1/2, 1/4, or 1/8) on the G4 series generally available, a game-changer for cost-effectively running smaller workloads. The GKE workload recommender is also now integrated into the FinOps Hub.Azure: Now supports NVIDIA's powerful H100 and H200 GPUs on Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) for large-scale AI/HPC workloads. For database users, the GA of Premium SSD v2 for Azure Database for PostgreSQL promises significantly higher IOPS and better price-performance.A Deep Dive into Azure Storage:The episode covers an "overload" of Azure storage updates with significant FinOps implications:Minimum Billable Object Size: From 1st July 2026 for new accounts (and 2027 for all), objects smaller than 128KB in cool, cold, and archive tiers will be billed as if they are 128KB.Smart Tier for Azure Blob & ADLS (GA): To mitigate the above, this feature automatically tiers data based on access patterns but introduces a monitoring fee for objects over 128KB, creating a new optimisation puzzle.Azure NetApp Files (ANF) Ransomware Protection: Now GA and included as part of the service at no extra charge.Finally, the hosts tackle "The Big Silence on Memory Prices," noting that despite DDR memory prices soaring 300-400% from mid-2025 lows, the hyperscalers have remained silent, absorbing the cost and making it difficult for smaller providers to compete.Explore the official announcements:AI Bill of Materials Whitepaper: www.wiz.io/go/ai-security/ai-bill-of-materialsAWS Article on Amazon Q: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cloud-financial-management/transforming-finops-with-the-latest-amazon-q-cost-capabilities/

On this supersized edition of the BIG 5, Elias is joined by Justine McIntyre, Co-Founder of Civica Strategies and former city councillor and Meeker Guerrier, Commentator at Noovo and RDS, Two new polls are out this morning and they show a similar picture. They both have the PQ and Quebec Liberal Party virtually tied in first place but the CAQ is catching up. Ok this one is a curious one. The leader of the Parti Québécois says he has no hard proof, but plenty of historical reasons to believe Ottawa may still be spying on Quebec’s separatist movement. Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois’s white paper on education – and its particular focus on how boys are falling behind girls – is getting some renewed attention, this time on the national level. Dunkin' Donuts is coming back to Canada.

On this episode of This Week in Radio Tech, we talk with Tracy Teagarden, Chief Engineer for Audacy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tracy shares the story of building an extraordinarily reliable transmitter site that was eventually sold off due to changing business priorities—but this conversation is really about what engineers do next. He explains how that same drive for reliability has led to major improvements in his remaining facilities and to proactive cooperation with chief engineers from competing broadcasters in the Las Vegas market. Tracy also gives us an inside look at his studio and STL infrastructure, including both point-to-point IP links and traditional 950 MHz STL systems, along with his philosophy of designing broadcast systems for maximum reliability. Finally, Tracy talks about hiring and mentoring new engineers and what it takes to prepare the next generation for success in broadcast engineering. Don’t miss episode 799 of This Week in Radio Tech.

Elias Makos kicks the week off with Meeker Guerrier, Commentator at Noovo and RDS, and Paul Gott, Lead singer and guitarist for Montreal Punk Rock band the Ripcordz and a journalism professor at Concordia. The streets were filled with excitement and joy last night as the Montreal Canadiens beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in game 7 of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Eric Duhaime has reversed course on Bill 96 as he tries to attract disaffected CAQ voters. In a nutshell - Duhaime pointed the finger at Anglos, saying that despite his previous position, it did not translate into support. During an International Workers' Day demonstration that drew thousands of people to Montreal on Saturday, activists staged a mock guillotine execution of Labour Minister Jean Boulet. The activist collective "Robins des ruelles" were back at it again this weekend as they stole from various stores in Montreal and Quebec City.

When your symptoms shift daily and no one, not even your doctor, can give you clear answers, the hypervigilance can feel like the only rational response. But what if that constant scanning is actually making your nervous system harder to calm, and there's a way to work with it instead of against it?In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety and trauma related to food allergies and mast cell conditions. She reframes nervous system regulation not as a reset button, but as a slow, trust-building process, and explains why that distinction matters more than most people realize.Connect with Destiny:  Instagram / Facebook / Website______________________________

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day I was playing around with RDS, or Radio Data System, it's a digital signal that's often embedded in a commercial broadcast FM transmission. Among other things it contains information about the station, its content, frequencies and potentially other useful information, such as traffic alerts. If you recall I've been working on 50 things to do with a Software Defined Radio and decoding RDS is one of those things. The decoding effort aside, I imagined a screen where you could see the RDS information, in real-time, as it was being transmitted by all the local FM broadcast stations. You'd see what music each station was playing, what their local clock thought the time was, how much they transmit other data and what they might do for emergencies, like say a Tropical Cyclone heading this way. It occurred to me that this would be an example of a fundamental difference between a traditional radio and a Software Defined Radio or SDR. Specifically, we're taught that you tune a radio to a frequency, it demodulates or decodes what's there and plays the sound, or digital information, or whatever is being transmitted, on that frequency. If you want to hear something else, you need to change frequency and the radio decodes that new frequency. If you have multiple channels to choose from, there are ways to automatically switch frequency, one after the other. One of my friends recently discovered an old scanner in a box and according to the specifications, it can scan 20 stations per second. If all 1,000 stations are programmed, it takes 50 seconds to scan them all. A lot can happen in that time. The traditional solution is having more radios. Ideally you'd have one for every frequency you care about. Cost aside, logistically this is not fun. Imagine having to power a thousand radios, or find the one where the volume isn't right, or even find space for them, or antennas. In the SDR world that's not quite how it works. Instead of tuning to one frequency, you essentially tune to a range of frequencies and then, using software, decode one or more of those frequencies, at the same time. Listening to multiple broadcast FM stations like that might not make a whole lot of sense, but what about decoding RDS, or listening to aviation frequencies, or local amateur radio repeaters, or multiple digital modes? While that might sound far fetched, a $50 RTL-SDR dongle can manage 2.5 MHz of bandwidth over USB, by comparison, my $1,000 Yaesu FT-857d can receive all of 200 kHz in Wideband FM mode, and only whilst tuned to the broadcast band frequencies. In normal AM or FM mode it's 10 kHz, so you'd need 250 of them to listen to the same frequency range. Again, just so we're clear, in analogue radio you need to change frequency to decode a different signal. In SDR you can simultaneously decode as many signals as resources permit. For example, I can make a simple GNU Radio flowgraph, a little program, that accepts a command line setting, in GNU Radio it's called a parameter block, and run it with a frequency I'm interested in. Then I can run another copy of the same program with a different frequency. Rinse and repeat and I have as many receivers as I need. While we're at it, you don't need to run the same program multiple times, you can run an FM decoder, a RTTY decoder, an AM decoder, all at the same time, as long as the frequencies you're looking at fit inside the bandwidth of the receiver you're playing with. Just so we're clear, this is one receiver, one antenna, one power supply, with as many decoders as resources allow. In other words, these two methods, analogue and SDR, are not the same. Am I glossing over things? Sure. With such a wide bandwidth comes susceptibility to interference and signal overload, also the RTL-SDR dongle doesn't transmit, although, in 2014 Ismo OH2FTG managed to change the centre frequency of his dongle 300 times per second, causing the on board oscillator to leak in a controlled manner, making a Frequency Shift Keyed or FSK transmission. Yes, I know, that's not quite up to the standard of a transmission coming from an 857d. You'll also need a computer, which you don't need to run an analogue radio, though truth be told, an analogue radio from the last couple of decades is pretty much a computer anyway. You can likely get away with a Raspberry Pi to process the data coming from an RTL-SDR dongle, so another $5, and yes, you'll need a monitor, keyboard, and a power supply. The point I'm making is that these two methods are not the same and in the evolving world of amateur radio, there's space for both. It also means that once you have this infrastructure, you can start experimenting with new radio technologies and approaches. Will it make my 857d and its siblings obsolete? Perhaps, but I doubt it. There's still plenty of valve radios going around, not to mention the spark gap transmitter at Grimeton in Sweden. In other words, this is growing the hobby, which ultimately is why I'm here. I will mention that it's not all hot cocoa and cookies. I've spent the past two days attempting to figure out why my very simple AM decoder isn't actually playing back the local ATIS or Automatic Terminal Information Service and why MacOS SDR applications don't include SoapySDR support, because of course they don't. Oh, yeah, I'm still trying to get my Proxmox server guest audio to work. I'm sharing this to make sure that you understand, that just like creating your own circuit board design and building it, there's plenty of experimentation to be done, problems to solve and challenges to meet, ultimately we're playing at the bleeding edge, at least it's not with sharp or hot implements.

Foundations of Amateur Radio While spending some quality time discovering what I don't know about GNU Radio, I explored the notion of attempting to at least understand a little more about how an FM signal works. Depending on your background, the letters FM mean different things. In amateur radio it's a way to encode information, generally audio, using something called frequency modulation. Outside the hobby, the letters point at commercial broadcast radio. While the two are related, they're not the same thing. In amateur radio use, FM is a single channel of mono-audio, however, in commercial broadcast radio, there's a whole lot more going on, interesting because it gives you ready-made access to a composite signal that's just complicated enough to be challenging without being so complex that you need to spend hours on understanding the thing. In essence, a commercial FM broadcast signal is multiple channels encoded in a specific and documented way. This is helpful, since you can compare the documentation against ready made examples and replicate the process for yourself. In case you're new here, I'm in the process of building a radio system, in software, using GNU Radio in a project called Bald Yak. Specifically, the Bald Yak project aims to create a modular, bidirectional and distributed signal processing and control system that leverages GNU Radio. It's called Bald Yak because by the time I'm done, the Yak is likely well and truly shaved. One of the easy things to forget when you're using GNU Radio Companion, is that the blocks you're connecting together on the screen into a flowgraph actually represent software, generated when you either build or run the flowgraph. This code is currently generated in either Python or C++, making me wonder, what does the code look like, and more specifically, what code would be needed to decode FM? It turns out that an old friend, the PySDR.org website has a whole chapter dedicated to this process. Chapter 18, the End-to-End Example, details how you can decode one of the channels embedded within a commercial FM broadcast, the RDS or Radio Data System signal. If you're not familiar, the PySDR.org website represents a whole book about software defined radio and python. It goes into as much or as little detail as you want, to explain how this whole software malarkey works, and takes you by the hand down the path of discovery. So, armed with a working example, I followed along the bouncing ball and made a working RDS decoder and I think, understood most of it. There's a few interesting wrinkles that I've contacted the author, Dr. Marc Lichtman, about and we'll see what comes of that. Here's the kicker. The author, who is also a senior member of the GNU Radio team, started with a GNU Radio flowgraph and reverse engineered what was happening to get to the point of the code that's available in PySDR.org Chapter 18. This is significant because it creates a relationship between the code I have in front of me and the code generated by GNU Radio, which means that when I start with a new flowgraph, not only do I know the steps required, I also know that the outcome is predetermined, as-in, I already know that there's a solution. Having professionally written software for over 40 years, I can tell you that this is not often the case. I realise that I can search the Internet for an RDS decoder flowgraph, but that's unlikely to get me to a better understanding of what GNU Radio is doing. Once I've clarified with the author, I'll add the code to my GitHub project, "Fifty Things you can do with a Software Defined Radio", specifically, "Receive road traffic information", since among other things, that's carried by RDS. As an aside, Rohde and Schwarz have a lovely YouTube video on the topic, "Understanding the Radio Data System", which is giving me a whole set of ideas about things we might attempt with amateur radio repeaters, but that's a story for another time. Meanwhile, have you considered what other signals exist on the RF spectrum that you might want to decode and how you'd go about this? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

If you've ever felt like you were failing at being sick, like you weren't trying hard enough, being positive enough, or consistent enough, this episode is for you. What if the pressure to heal is actually part of what's making things harder?In this replay from episode 73, you'll hear from Grace Quantock, psychotherapeutic counsellor, advocate, and author of the newly released book, Reclaiming Wellness with Chronic Illness. She makes a compelling case that wellness culture's obsession with cure isn't just unhelpful, it's a system designed to blame us for our own suffering.______________________________

In this episode, we continue our conversation and reflect on Kaitlyn's first six months of working as a Registered Dietitian. We talk openly about the biggest worries and fears going into a first RD job, including imposter syndrome, learning without a preceptor, and becoming comfortable with new systems, routines, and professional relationships. We reflect on which fears were valid, which ones eased with time, and why allowing yourself space to settle, make mistakes, and build confidence gradually is a critical part of the learning process. We also explore the unexpected challenge of navigating identity and major life transitions after graduation, including the emotional weight of starting a new role, relocating, and adjusting to professional independence.Additionally, we share advice for new RDs entering the workforce, including setting boundaries early, protecting your time and self-worth, and recognizing that respect in the workplace is non-negotiable. We discuss areas of continued growth, such as navigating criticism within healthcare teams, as well as skills developed over the past six months, including organization, systems, and building trusting working relationships. Finally, we reflect on long-term career goals, opportunities for growth, and the importance of not being afraid to make career changes.
