In this week's episode of The MacBroz Show, we're putting the spotlight on audience Q&A and answering some of the questions you all sent in. We break down what pistol we would choose if we could only have one gun for both range and carry, what really matters most for EDC between comfort, capacity, and shootability, and whether red dots have become a must-have or are still just a personal preference. We also answer the big question: will we ever go back to shooting Glocks again? On top of the Q&A, Josh may have another 2011 project in the works, D talks about running SuperVel ammo, adding a new Red Dirt Trigger, and rebuilding his M&P setup. Plus, we kick things off with a wild fun fact about car radios being introduced in the 1930s and costing over $100 back then. Real opinions, gun talk, project updates, audience questions, and the usual MacBroz chaos. Topics include: One pistol for range and carry EDC comfort vs. capacity vs. shootability Are red dots a must-have now? Would we go back to Glocks? Josh's possible new 2011 project SuperVel ammo Red Dirt Trigger M&P rebuild updates Drop your answer in the comments: If you could only have one pistol for range and carry, what would it be?

In this episode of The Birdshot Podcast, host Nick Larson sits down with Greg Maher of Meadow Creek Mounts for a conversation about the practical shift from traditional beads to optics in the turkey woods. They dig into the engineering behind rib-mounted sights, the "equalizer" effect of a red dot on gun fit, and why seeing more of the bird is a significant advantage when the shot counts. Greg Maher is an engineer and a lifer in the turkey woods with over 20 years of experience. After identifying a need for better optic placement on shotguns that weren't originally drilled and tapped, he launched Meadow Creek Mounts in 2020. Based in South Carolina, Greg is a dedicated public land hunter who has pursued turkeys in over 20 states, bringing a perspective focused on gear reliability and the "why" behind every piece of equipment in his vest. Expect to Learn: Why a red dot acts as an "equalizer" for head position and consistency in the field. The technical differences between open and enclosed reflex sights and how they handle the elements. Why mounting an optic on the rib provides a superior field of view compared to receiver mounts. A practical "one-shot" method for zeroing your optic to save on expensive TSS ammunition. How to use a bore laser and a reference sheet to ensure your zero hasn't shifted during travel.

In this episode, we sit down with Nic Lenze from Swampfox Optics and get into everything they've been building—and why people are paying attention. We start with their pistol optics like the Sentinel II, Justice II, and Liberty II, then move into red dots like the Liberator II and Kraken. From there, we get into prism optics including the Raider, Trihawk, Blade, and Saber before diving into their rifle scopes and LPVOs like the Tomahawk, Warhorse, and Arrowhead, plus longer range setups like the Patriot, Warhawk, and Kentucky Long. But this one isn't just a product rundown. We talk about how Swampfox approaches design, what they're doing differently than legacy brands, and where they see the optics world going next. If you're into gear, performance, and seeing how a newer company competes at a high level, this is a solid one.

100 years ago this year, Edwin Hubble published the first conclusive evidence that there were galaxies beyond the Milky Way. This lecture, using new results from our latest space telescopes and ground-based instruments, surveys the diversity of systems that we've found since, from giant and beautiful spirals to mysterious Little Red Dots.This lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 18th March 2026 at Conway Hall, London.Professor Chris Lintott is a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at New College.Having been educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge and University College London, his research now ranges from understanding how galaxies form and evolve, to using machine learning to find the most unusual things in the Universe, to predicting the properties of visiting interstellar asteroids. He was the founder of the Zooniverse citizen science platform, which provides opportunities for more than two million online volunteers to contribute to scientific research, and which was the topic of his first book, 'The Crowd and the Cosmos'. His latest book is ‘Our Accidental Universe'. Professor Lintott is best known for presenting the BBC's long-running Sky at Night program, and as an accomplished lecturer. Away from work, he cooks, suffers through being a fan of Torquay United and Somerset cricket, and spends time with a rescued lurcher, Mr Max. He can often be found at the helm of Oxford's science comedy night, ‘Huh, That's Funny'.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/universe-100Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

In this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, host Dan Johnson and Mark Boardman from Vortex Optics discuss various aspects of hunting, focusing on the use of red dot sights. They share personal hunting stories, particularly about blacktail deer hunting, and delve into the advantages of using red dots for turkey hunting. The conversation covers the durability, functionality, and ease of use of red dots, as well as specific recommendations for turkey hunting optics. They also touch on the importance of proper sighting in and maintenance of red dots, and conclude with a preview of new products from Vortex. Takeaways Blacktail deer hunting holds a special place for Mark. The challenge of hunting blacktails adds to the experience. Red dots are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of use. Durability is a key factor for red dots in hunting conditions. Red dots allow hunters to focus on the target rather than the sights. The Viper red dot is recommended for turkey hunting. Sighting in a red dot is similar to other optics but with some differences. Regular maintenance of red dots can ensure reliability. Vortex is introducing new products that enhance hunting experiences. Red dots provide a significant advantage for youth hunters. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

"Restraint is a skill—it's just as important to decide when not to act as it is to act decisively."Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Erick Gelhaus, a highly experienced firearms instructor with a career spanning the U.S. Army, law enforcement, and the civilian sector. We dig into everything from the evolution of use-of-force thinking, the realities of law enforcement scrutiny, decision-making under stress, and the complexities of training with shotguns and pistol-mounted optics. We also discuss responsible off-body carry, the importance of de-escalation, and why judgment and restraint are core skills for both professionals and everyday gun owners.I share my own dry fire journey, Keith gets fired up about shotguns, and together we pull out valuable, street-applicable wisdom from Erick's decades of experience.

It's not just about shooting fast, but making the right call under pressure.Shotgun Wisdom: The shotgun is still a powerful home defense tool—if you know your pattern, ammo, and manipulations. It's the thinking person's weapon, and training matters more than the platform.

These were dubbed "Little red dots" or LRDs. And the astronomical community continues to puzzle over what they are. When JWST first peered into the distant past, it discovered the early universe had a rash of little red dots.

HEADLINE: Solving the Mystery of Bright Red Dots in the Early Universe GUEST NAME: Dr. Joel LejaSUMMARY: John Batchelor interviews Dr. Joel Leja about "little red dots"—extremely bright, mysteriously common objects discovered in the early universe by the James Webb Space Telescope. These enigmatic red dots appear to be early supermassive black holes, possibly tens of millions of solar masses, revealed by intensely hot gas swirling at tremendous velocities around them. Their unexpected abundance and size so close to the universe's beginning poses a fundamental challenge to current theories of cosmic evolution and black hole formation. The discovery suggests that supermassive black holes formed much earlier and more rapidly than previously thought possible, requiring astronomers to reconsider models of how the first galaxies and their central black holes emerged from the primordial darkness. Dr. Leja explains that while the JWST data strongly indicates these are black holes based on spectroscopic signatures, the mechanism that allowed such massive objects to form so quickly after the Big Bang remains one of astronomy's most perplexing new mysteries. The research highlights how advanced telescopes continue to overturn established assumptions about the early universe's structure and evolution.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into the cosmos to uncover the secrets of the early universe, explore the potential for black hole atmospheres, and examine the intriguing history of habitability on Mars, alongside the launch of a new deep space antenna by the European Space Agency.Mysterious Red Dots in the Early UniverseAstronomers have identified a population of enigmatic red dots in the early universe, potentially representing exotic stellar atmospheres around ancient black holes. These findings, published in Astronomy and Astrophysics, could bridge the gap in understanding the rapid growth of supermassive black holes. The Webb Space Telescope's observations suggest these objects might be a new class of celestial body, challenging existing models of galaxy formation and offering insights into the origins of galaxies.Multiple Episodes of Habitability on MarsNASA's Perseverance rover has provided compelling evidence that Mars's Jezero Crater experienced multiple episodes of liquid water flooding, each capable of supporting life. By analysing geochemical data, scientists have identified various minerals that reveal a dynamic history of volcanic activity and water interactions, suggesting a complex aqueous past that could have fostered life on the Red Planet.European Space Agency's New Deep Space DishThe European Space Agency is set to inaugurate its latest Australian deep space antenna at the Norcia tracking station in Western Australia. This 35-metre parabolic dish will enhance ESA's deep space communications capabilities, supporting missions and ensuring robust data transmission from spacecraft exploring our solar system.
