Speaker: Rustin Smith --- Following the thread back to the good way.

Is the golden age of protein over, or is the market hiding something much worse? While mainstream pundits point to falling average retail prices as a sign of consumer fatigue or market saturation, the reality is far more dangerous. CPG brands are trapped in a brutal macroeconomic vice: unprecedented, structural commodity inflation for whey protein vs. an already strained consumer. In this content, I break down why the "health halo" of the protein market is approaching a catastrophic breaking point, how brands are quietly altering your favorite protein snacks, and why the ultimate threat to your protein powder might actually come from the butcher counter. In my latest content piece, I'll cover topics like:Pricing (ARP) Illusion: Why category prices look lower on paper while individual products (UPCs) are actually getting more expensiveProtein Product "Format Shift": How low-ticket, immediate-use items like RTD shakes are masking deep market friction▪️ Formulation Trap: Why substituting protein inputs isn't as simple as swapping sugar or fat, and how it leads to "chalky, brick-like" productsConsumer Surplus Theory: The exact economic mechanism that could trigger a massive market contractionSubstitution Threat: How government actions and downward price corrections in real whole foods (beef, poultry) could pull shoppers out of the center aisleIndustry Warning Signs: Sneaky ingredient changes happening right now across protein powders, protein bars, and lifestyle snacksUltimately, "protein mania" won't end because you stop wanting better nutrition...it will halt because the industry broke its promise of quality!

Amazon's expansion into the LTL market is raising big questions across the transportation industry. In this episode, Craig Fuller, Tom Albrecht, and attorney Matt Leffler examine why Forward Air could be a strategic acquisition target for Amazon and what such a move would mean for carriers, brokers, and shippers. The conversation explores Forward Air's unique airport-to-airport network, the controversial Omni Logistics merger, and the legal battles that reshaped one of freight's most closely watched companies. The panel also breaks down Amazon's growing logistics ambitions and whether it can successfully build or buy its way into the LTL sector. Beyond M&A, the discussion turns to trucking safety, insurance requirements, freight fraud, FMCSA reforms, and the industry's ongoing struggle with outdated regulations. The hosts analyze proposed safety initiatives from the Truckload Carriers Association, debate higher insurance minimums, and discuss why stronger oversight of CDL training, ELD certification, and carrier registration could reshape the trucking landscape. ⁠Follow the Freight Expectations Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Since the days of Aesop, stories about animals have been used to explore distinctly human values, virtues, and vices. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider such childhood classics as E. B. White's “Stuart Little” and C. S. Lewis's “Chronicles of Narnia” series, as well as “The Sheep Detectives,” a recent entry in this canon that centers on a flock who learn poignant lessons about life and loss. Works of adult literature, too, have explored the animal-human bond. Our tendency to project onto animals translates to the real world in strange ways, with figures like Timmy the Whale and Punch the Monkey going viral on our social feeds even as our day-to-day lives are more detached from the natural world than ever before. But the distance between us can be instructive, too. “Reckoning with their similarity to us and also their total strangeness to us . . . that's where works about animals really get me,” Schwartz says. “Not just as a direct transfer onto the human experience but also this other thing that really does enrich our lives: to be in contact with species that are not our own.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:Homer's Odyssey“Stone Fox,” by John Reynolds Gardiner“The Mare,” by Mary Gaitskill“The Sheep Detectives” (2026)“Stuart Little,” by E.

I've been doing this long enough to say that it's kind of a big deal to hear a song that stops you dead in your tracks. A song so urgent, fresh and timely that you remember where you were and what you were doing when you first heard it. Well, Reckoning by the Havana-by-way-of-Nashville based Sweet Lizzy Project is such a song. In this episode, SLP singer/songwriter Lisset Diaz makes her annual appearance to discuss how this powerhouse of a song came together—and so much more. Reckoning is a blistering take on Lisset's native Cuba; it is a raw, honest song that takes no prisoners. Musically it hits hard—loud, crunching guitars barely hold Lisset's soaring vocals. Lyrically it hits even harder; it is a direct hit against the existing Cuban regime and all those who think they know what truly ills the country. This is also my first interview with Lisset since the passing of legendary Mavericks' frontman Raul Malo, who discovered the band in Havana nearly 10 years ago and brought them to the States. This episode is as emotional, honest and direct as any I've ever done…perhaps more so than any other. So strap yourself in and hold on as Lisset Diaz joins me again.

It is the morning after a seismic shift in North Dakota politics, and host Scott Hennen is laying all the cards on the table. In this post-election breakdown, Scott dissects a stinging loss for conservatives in the Fargo mayoral race, where proud Democrat Josh Beaucher defeated conservative warrior Michelle Turnberg. Scott calls this a "giant two-by-four to the head" for local Republicans and traces the loss directly to a stealth, data-driven "ground game" deployed by the Democrats to capture low-propensity voters. Throughout the hour, Scott brings in the key figures who will shape the road ahead. Newly elected Fargo City Commissioner Nikki Gullickson addresses the "liberal" labels thrown her way, sets the record straight on her Republican roots, and shares her data-first perspective on the city's controversial needle exchange program. Then, newly victorious Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak joins the program fresh from presiding over the U.S. House of Representatives, extending a political olive branch to unified conservatives while pushing back against the "RINOs" name-calling. Later, State Representative Mike Nathe breaks down the broader legislative shift that saw establishment "traditional Republicans" soundly defeat the far-right faction, and gold expert David Fisher warns of a fast-moving "de-dollarization" trend sweeping global central banks. Standout Moments & Timestamps [02:20] The Fargo Assessment & The Ground Game Scott details how the Democratic Party—starved for a single major victory in a bright red state—focused all of its resources into a sophisticated get-out-the-vote machine to secure the Fargo mayor's seat. [07:44] Our 2020 Wake-Up Call Scott urges local conservatives not to panic or cry over the results, but to treat this defeat exactly like the sting of the 2020 presidential election—a clear signal to roll up their sleeves and build an organized political apparatus. [09:20] The "Loss Leader" Ruse A warning to voters about outside, radically pro-abortion groups from California allegedly utilizing innocent-sounding ballot measures, like school lunch initiatives, to test and refine their ground game in conservative states. [11:05] Bringing the Tone Down with Nikki Gullickson Newly elected City Commissioner Nikki Gullickson addresses the tense nature of local politics, promising to bring a professional, adult-like decorum back to the commission table. [11:59] Scrutinizing the Needle Program Nikki pushes back on rumors regarding taxpayer funding for Fargo's needle exchange, clarifying that it is entirely funded by opioid settlement dollars, while demanding more data on the potential healthcare liability if the program were cut.

In this conversation, he is candid about what held his application back: clinical and volunteering experiences that started too late because of COVID restrictions, and experience essays that tried to impress readers with technical organic chemistry detail instead of showing personal growth. He also walks through the parallel stress of watching his girlfriend navigate her own application cycle simultaneously, and the practical decisions they made to try to stay geographically close. Justin reflects honestly on the gap year question — he applied straight through from undergrad and now sees real value in what a year away from school can offer.

PODCAST DESCRIPTION Election Day has arrived in South Carolina, and the battle lines are clear.

Tara argues that a decades-old political machine has maintained power in South Carolina by adapting and evolving through changing political environments. She points to influential figures such as Lindsey Graham and Governor Henry McMaster as central figures in the state's political structure and warns that voters face a critical decision about the direction of the state. The discussion centers heavily on immigration policy, with comparisons made between South Carolina's enforcement efforts and Florida's more aggressive approach under Governor Ron DeSantis.

HOOK What happens when the people running a red state refuse to govern like conservatives? On Election Day, Tara examines record turnout, the governor's race, South Carolina's political machine, congressional redistricting battles, and why many conservatives believe today could mark the beginning of a political revolution in the Palmetto State. PODCAST DESCRIPTION Election Day has arrived, and South Carolina voters face a choice that could shape the state's future for years to come. Tara breaks down new polling showing strong support for Congressman Ralph Norman among conservative voters, while also examining growing frustration with what many see as an entrenched political establishment that has controlled state government for generations. The episode explores record Democrat turnout in early voting, the battle over congressional redistricting, Freedom Caucus efforts to reshape state politics, and accusations that establishment leaders deliberately blocked opportunities to strengthen Republican representation. The conversation then turns to California, where controversial election procedures, mail-in ballots, voter ID debates, and ballot harvesting concerns continue fueling national discussions about election integrity. Finally, Tara examines polling that suggests many Democrats hold increasingly negative views about America compared to Republicans, raising broader questions about patriotism, national identity, and the country's future. From Columbia to California, today's episode asks whether voters are finally ready to challenge the political systems that have dominated American politics for decades. FEATURED STORY The Rare Chance to Break the Machine According to Tara, South Carolina voters are being presented with a rare opportunity to challenge a political establishment that has controlled state government since Reconstruction. The discussion centers on the contrast between grassroots conservative candidates and political insiders, highlighting battles over taxes, immigration enforcement, congressional redistricting, and government accountability.

Part 1: Rabbi Spiro and Ellie are discussing the riots and demonstrations by Israel's Charedim who are against conscription and the cultural history behind the animus. How do we as a people with different visions of what the center of our lives should be start to reckon with the fact that we need each other. We begin with the history of the animus between the religious world and the secular zionist movements and how it has set us up today to not even be able to talk together and what kind of country we want Israel to be now and in the future. Want the full story? Start from episode one.As Winston Churchill said, "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see." That's exactly what we're doing — going all the way back, so we can understand the present and shape what comes next.

"What I vividly recall is after getting to Tanforan and walking into this horse stable, and Mom… putting down her suitcase and just crying.”This is the story of Japanese American incarceration.In February 1942, shortly after the United States enters the war, FDR signs Executive Order 9066, beginning the forced removal of Japanese Americans from their West Coast homes and lives. Some 120,000 civilians—many of them American citizens, none of them charged with a crime—are sent to camps across the American West and South. Their constitutional rights are denied in the name of national security.Even as families struggle to carry on inside the barbed wire, legal challenges arise. Three Japanese Americans fight their way to the Supreme Court, forcing the nation's highest court to confront a question it would rather avoid: can the Constitution be suspended for an entire ethnic group in wartime? And when the court finally rules—does the answer change anything at all?____Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com andpreorder Prof. Jackson's new bookgo deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendationsjoin discussions in our Facebook communityget news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live showget HTDS merchor become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.HTDS is part of Audacy media network.

This week, Joe and Robert dig into the media reckoning hitting some of the biggest names in digital publishing. Vice, BuzzFeed, Vox, and others once represented the future of media, with massive valuations, venture money, and platform-driven scale. Now, many of those same companies have been sold, split apart, or pushed into bankruptcy. The boys ask the uncomfortable question: how did companies worth billions become cautionary tales? On the flip side, 1440 just received a $101 million valuation with only 27 employees and a focused newsletter-first model. The company generates about $1 million per employee and has built a direct relationship with nearly 5 million subscribers. Joe and Robert discuss why this is the same lesson they have been talking about for years: don't build your content house on rented land. Owned audience, discipline, and direct trust still win. Then the conversation turns to the growing demand for live experiences and even print products. Investors are rewarding live entertainment, movie theaters, concerts, and premium in-person experiences, while print continues to show surprising signs of life in certain corners of media. Is this a true long-term opportunity, or just a small bubble created by digital exhaustion? Winners and Losers Joe's winner is the baklava guy outside Knicks games, a perfect example of small, weird, consistent marketing becoming part of the fan experience. Robert's winner and loser is Ferrari's new design. In rants and raves, Joe talks about Nate B. Jones changing his AI newsletter frequency, moving away from the daily news grind and toward a more useful weekly cadence. Robert closes with commentary on the death of per-seat pricing and what it means for the coming SaaS apocalypse.

Dan Rankine (aka 'trials') was the only little Aboriginal boy living in his rural Welsh village when he woke up shaking from a nightmare. That's when he and his mother knew they needed to go home to Adelaide.Dan is now one of Australia's most respected hip hop producers, writers and rappers.Born in Adelaide, Dan spent his early years on the other side of the world - in the rolling, green hills of rural Wales - with his mum, who had fled there from Dan's violent father in the middle of the night.Far from his Ngarrindjeri connections, and with no one around who looked like him, Dan felt isolated.After an unexplained nightmare, he and his mum decided to move back to Adelaide, where things didn't suddenly become perfect.But a car crash, which could have been tragic, became an incredible turning point in Dan's life, allowing him to buy his first set of turntables.And at 16 years old, Dad set himself on the path to becoming 'trials', performing, writing and producing with and for artists like the Funkoars, Hilltop Hoods, Archie Roach and A.B. Original.Dan has recently stepped out on his own, to release his debut solo album Hendle - something of an origin story, full of honesty, pain and passion.Hendle is out now. Dan is set to publish an accompanying memoir later this year.Keep up to date with Dan's music, art and tour dates at on his Instagram page.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

As we cascade further into the digital age, concerns over privacy and data security continue to rise with increasing urgency. As artificial intelligence expands its reach, vast aggregates of personal data are constantly being mined to refine future models. But, the fight for digital privacy is as old as the digital age itself. In Privacy's Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance, author and Digital Rights Activist, Cindy Cohn, chronicles her career-long battle to preserve our right to privacy online. Part memoir and part legal history for a general audience, Privacy's Defender reminds the reader just how hard-won the privacy rights we enjoy today were. Cohn stresses the societal importance of digital privacy, citing its role in combatting authoritarianism, organizing public protests, and reinforcing other human rights as well. Dismantling the myth that our digital landscape was the sole work of several male charismatic tech founders, Cohn instead paints a fuller picture of our technological history. Through weaving her own story with the history of Crypto Wars, FBI gag orders, and the post-9/11 surveillance state, Cohn reveals how she became a seasoned leader in the early digital rights movement, even helping her to discover her birth parents and a life partner. Along the way, she also details the development of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which Cohn grew from a ragtag group of lawyers and hackers into one of the most powerful digital rights organizations in the world. As we all know, advancements in technology never cease. Reckoning with its impact on our basic human rights is a conversation that Cindy Cohn has been having for over 30 years. Join Cohn at Town Hall Seattle, for a night of education, storytelling, and a reinvigoration in our fight to protect our rights in the digital age. Cindy Cohn is Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. From 2000 to 2015, she served as EFF's Legal Director as well as its General Counsel. Today, she spearheads a team of more than 120 lawyers, activists, and technologists who are dedicated to ensuring that technology supports speech, privacy, and innovation for all the people of the world.

D-Day is one of the most studied military operations in history. But what if the fate of the Allied invasion hinged not on generals, tanks, or landing craft—but on a weather forecast?In this episode of Reckoning with Jason Herbert, Jason is joined by historians Todd Arrington and Dr. Colin Colbourn to discuss the new film Pressure, starring Brendan Fraser as General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Andrew Scott as meteorologist James Stagg. Together they explore the extraordinary decisions made in the days before June 6, 1944, when uncertain forecasts, competing personalities, and the weight of history converged on a single choice: whether to launch Operation Overlord.The conversation examines Eisenhower's leadership under immense strain, the often-overlooked role of meteorology in World War II, the disastrous rehearsal known as Exercise Tiger, and the complex relationships among Allied commanders such as Bernard Montgomery. Along the way, the panel weighs in on the film's historical accuracy, its performances, and why Pressure succeeds by telling a familiar story from an entirely unexpected angle. If you've ever wondered how close D-Day came to being postponed—or how something as unpredictable as the weather helped shape the course of the twentieth century—this is an episode you won't want to miss.Topics discussed: The true story behind the film Pressure Dwight Eisenhower and the burden of command  James Stagg and the weather forecast that changed history  Exercise Tiger and the hidden costs of preparing for D-Day  Bernard Montgomery, Allied politics, and coalition warfare  The role of weather in World War II operations  Historical accuracy versus cinematic storytelling  Brendan Fraser, Andrew Scott, and Damian Lewis on screen

In this episode, I'm joined by Serena Arora, international bestselling author of Unbound: An Immigrant Daughter's Journey of Reckoning, Unraveling Shame, and Reclaiming Her Worth, Ayurvedic health practitioner, yoga therapist of over 25 years, and retreat leader in Costa Rica. Serena's work bridges ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, therapeutic yoga, nervous system resilience, and her own lived experience as the daughter of an Indian father and Chinese mother navigating cultural conditioning, belonging, shame, and self-worth.Together, we explore what it means to become truly unbound from generational expectations, good daughter conditioning, immigrant guilt, and the deeply internalized belief that we must earn love, safety, or belonging by staying inside the box we were handed. Serena shares the powerful story behind her book, including the bound-footed fate of her maternal Chinese lineage and the ways women can still carry inherited restriction, fear, and self-abandonment long after the visible bindings are gone.We also talk about burnout, chronic dysregulation, and the subtle ways women are taught to push harder instead of listening to the body's whispers. Through the lens of Ayurveda and therapeutic yoga, Serena offers a grounded, practical, science-meets-soul approach to healing burnout, rebuilding resilience, and returning to the body as a place of wisdom, truth, and repair. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that sustainable transformation does not come through force, perfection, or constant doing, but through alignment, daily rituals, nervous system support, and learning to pause.In this episode, we explore:Serena's journey as a mixed-race immigrant daughter born to an Indian father and Chinese motherThe inspiration behind Serena's book, Unbound, and why she felt called to tell the deeper story behind her life and workThe emotional weight of carrying family expectations, cultural conditioning, shame, failure, and obligation like a backpackHow “good daughter” conditioning can keep women trapped in lives that look successful on the outside but feel deeply misaligned on the insideWhat it looks like to honor your ancestors and family while still choosing a life that is honest, aligned, and truly your ownThe irony of using wellness, personal growth, spirituality, or self-improvement as another way to push, perform, and over-functionWhy true healing often begins when we stop trying to escape discomfort and learn how to sit with ourselvesHow Ayurveda and therapeutic yoga can support nervous system regulation, resilience, embodiment, and sustainable transformationThe Ayurvedic idea of asking whether a person, food, habit, relationship, or choice contributes to the fabric of your wellbeing or depletes itThe difference between pushing harder and building resilience through alignment, pause, rhythm, and feminine wisdomBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Serena:Learn more about Serena's work, retreats, offerings, and book at: www.serenaarora.comInstagram: @serena_aroraConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Serena's Book: Unbound: An Immigrant Daughter's Journey of Reckoning, Unraveling Shame, and Reclaiming Her WorthSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn More

What do you do when your first subscription box launch falls completely flat? If you're Jennifer of Becoming Box, you go back to the drawing board, figure out what went wrong, and come back with a launch that generates a six-thousand-person waitlist in just five weeks. This week on the Launch Your Box podcast, I sat down with Jennifer, a twenty-year real estate broker turned subscription box owner, to talk about her incredible journey from launching to crickets ten days before Christmas to building one of the most targeted, passionate audiences I've seen from a brand-new box owner. Before Becoming Box, Jennifer had another idea entirely. She raised show goats and wanted to bring that experience to families through a subscription. She worked on it for months, then launched ten days before Christmas. She got crickets. But Jennifer didn't walk away. She started researching. And that's when she found Launch Your Box. The Workshop That Changed Everything One of the first things Jennifer did after joining Launch Your Box was go through my 6 in 60 Workshop, a free workshop you can access at 6in60workshop.com. She realized she had nothing in common with the ideal customer of her original box. Without that connection, she couldn't truly serve them. So she started asking herself: What am I actually passionate about? What do I know inside and out because I'm living it? A Niche Born from Personal Experience Jennifer had started taking GLP-1 medication in October of 2025. What she found when she went looking for community was a lot of women struggling in silence. Women were joining Facebook groups to talk about their experiences because they couldn't talk about it anywhere else. They were being shamed. They were getting inconsistent information. And many of them were also navigating perimenopause and menopause at the same time. Jennifer also noticed something else. These women were mostly Gen X. That insight became the foundation of everything. Three Boxes. One Clear Mission. Becoming Box launched with three distinct subscription options, each one named with intention. Reclaim is for women on GLP-1 who are reclaiming pieces of themselves they set aside for years. Reckoning is for women in perimenopause. Not a box that treats that season as just a transition to get through. Unfiltered is for women who are doing both, living the GLP-1 journey while navigating perimenopause at the same time. It's about taking the filter completely off and just being yourself. Unfiltered turned out to be the most popular box by nearly double. And it's also the most expensive, at eighty-nine dollars a month. The Content That Built a Six-Thousand-Person Waitlist in Five Weeks Jennifer didn't have an existing audience. She started from scratch. She put up a simple waitlist page. No freebies. No giveaways. Just an invitation. Then she created a video that spoke directly to Gen X women in the language they actually use. That video resonated so strongly that people weren't just watching it, they were sharing it. She started with five to ten dollars a day in paid ads. The cost per waitlist signup was around forty-five cents. Over five weeks, her waitlist grew to six thousand people. That's what happens when you know your customer, speak their language, and make them feel seen. A Launch That Actually Worked When Jennifer was ready to launch, she did a soft launch to her waitlist only with a seventy-two hour window. She finished her first launch with forty-six subscribers. These were people who invested in something entirely new, without full product photos, without a long track record. They bought because they trusted her and they believed in what she was building. The Details That Made the Difference Jennifer wanted tools that women could use every day. Things that actually supported the GLP-1 and perimenopause journey. One month she included a heat wrap for the aches and body changes that come with this season. Another item was custom lounge pants with the monthly theme printed on them. And Jennifer is now adding a custom magazine to each box, filled with real information about GLP-1 updates, hair shedding, hormone health, and the questions her community has been asking everywhere else but struggling to find straight answers to. What's Next for Becoming Box Jennifer has her eyes on five hundred subscribers by the end of the year. Jennifer's message is simple: “Know your ideal customer. Not just who they are, but how to talk to them. Know what they need and want and look for how you can provide that. When you do that, they will come.” Where to find Jennifer: Becoming Box Website Becoming Box on Facebook Becoming Box on Instagram Join me in all the places: Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

With recent Supreme Court and high-profile liability rulings shaking up the industry, what does the future look like for your brokerage from an insurance and risk mitigation standpoint? Cameron Pechia from  Valley Trucking Insurance is back to break down what these legal shifts really mean for your day-to-day operations. The reality is that the legal defense veil has been ripped away from brokers, creating a massive new target for attorneys chasing insurance money. While freight brokers aren't legally required to carry specific insurance, a proper vetting process is no longer just a best practice—it's your primary shield.  Let's dive into why having a bulletproof, documented vetting system that can stand up in a courtroom is critical and why shippers might start leaning heavily on brokers to offload their own risk!   About Cameron Pechia Cameron is the founder of Valley Trucking Insurance, a leading Trucking Insurance Agency based in Spokane, Washington.

World War II reached far beyond the beaches of Normandy and the islands of the Pacific. It also came to Alaska, where Indigenous communities found themselves on the front lines of invasion, military occupation, and forced relocation.In this episode of Reckoning with Jason Herbert, historian Holly Miowak Guise discusses her groundbreaking book Alaska Native Resilience: Voices from World War II. Drawing on more than 90 oral history interviews with Alaska Native elders, Guise reveals how Alaska Native communities experienced the Aleutian Campaign, wartime relocation camps, segregation, military service, and the ongoing realities of colonialism in America's far north.Together, we explore the Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands, the forced evacuation of Indigenous communities, Alaska Native military service, the power of oral history, and the ways Native peoples resisted, adapted, and rebuilt their communities in the aftermath of war.This conversation challenges familiar narratives of the "Good War" and offers a powerful reminder that some of the most important stories of World War II remain largely unknown.

Now in video, we culminate the focus on ethnic identity in the context of the so-called racial "whiteness." We look at Italian culture through the lens of seasoned educator and friend of the VABB Nation, Nicole Lusiani. Now educating in Portland, Nicole has over 25 years of experience teaching in the Bay area, in namely the San Lorenzo schools. She has worked as a key team key member of the Center for Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning. Nicole walks the thin line of racial whiteness and ethnic Italian-ness very carefully and mindfully as you will hear, all the while realizing that perhaps that line could (or should be) thicker. Dr. Hollie culminates the series with his two cents. Nicole's podcast, Copy Room Conversations, is available anywhere you get your podcasts and her most recent book, Nothing's Missing: A Year of Reckoning, Release, and Remembering Who I Am can be found at any online book retailer.

This past week, we talked about the Tulsa Massacre of 1921. For today's "Sunday Context" episode we jump a couple generations ahead to the summer of 1967, when president Johnson convened the “Kerner Commission” to look into the roots of violence and unrest in America, largely in Black and brown communities around the country. The report came out next year and offered a frank and damning assessment of the complicity of white Americans. But it's recommendations were largely ignored and suppresed.Featuring Jelani Cobb, author of an updated version, “The Essential Kerner Commission Report,” out now.Join our America250 newsletter community!

"Nazi" Smears & Campus Hypocrisy expose Higher Ed's Toxic Double Standard as universities preach civility while excusing ideological attacks. Universities love to talk about inclusion, safety, and respect, but what happens when a conservative professor is smeared in front of students and the university shrugs? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano speaks with professor, author, and Campus Reform Higher Ed Fellow Adam Ellwanger about his latest Campus Reform piece detailing how a colleague allegedly called him a "Nazi white supremacist" in front of an entire classroom. Ellwanger explains what happened, how the university responded, and why the incident reveals a much larger crisis inside American higher education.  The conversation goes beyond one campus smear to examine academic freedom, DEI loopholes, faculty ideological capture, declining college standards, weak writing skills, AI plagiarism, and the death of the college credential. Giordano and Ellwanger expose how higher education's toxic double standard protects leftist privilege while students, parents, taxpayers, and employers pay the price. What You'll Learn In This Episode How "Nazi" smears and ideological labels are used to intimidate conservative professors and silence dissent.  Why campus hypocrisy exposes a toxic double standard in university speech codes and professional standards.  How DEI loopholes and faculty hiring practices keep higher education ideologically captured.  Why the college credential is losing value as employers drop four-year degree requirements.  How AI, poor writing skills, and collapsing academic standards are weakening critical thinking. 

Chelsea and Prose & Glow's Julia Washington deep dive into “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” the memoir from “Heroes” and “Nashville” star Hayden Panettiere. Together, they unpack Hayden's rise from child star with a momager (of course) to tabloid fixture while dealing with addiction, postpartum depression, and the crushing weight of being a young woman in the 2000s. Plus: her age-gap relationships with Milo Ventimiglia and Wladimir Klitschko, and why this memoir feels deeply haunting.
