bto - beyond the obvious 2.0 - der neue Ökonomie-Podcast von Dr. Daniel Stelter
bto#309 REFRESH – Nichts ist so wichtig für die Identität der GRÜNEN wie ihr letztlich hoch erfolgreicher Kampf gegen die Kernenergie. Deutschland ist als einziges Industrieland aus der Atomenergie ausgestiegen und versucht seither vergeblich, die entstandene Lücke durch Erneuerbare Energien zu ersetzen. Dennoch bleibt der Strom in Deutschland trotz der Ausgabe von mehreren hundert Milliarden Euro – wie viele es genau sind, lässt sich wegen fehlender Transparenz nicht genau beziffern – überdurchschnittlich dreckig und teuer. Ein in doppeltem Sinne zu teuer erkaufter Sieg. In den letzten 30 Jahren nahm die erzeugte Strommenge in Deutschland stetig zu und Strom konnte exportiert werden. In den Jahren 2023 und 2024 kehrte sich das Verhältnis um und Deutschland musste Strom importieren. Vor allem aus Frankreich wurde viel Strom bezogen – dem Atomstromland par excellence. Gleichzeitig blieben Braun- und Steinkohle mit zusammen 22 Prozent und Erdgas mit 16 Prozent Anteil am Energieträgermix unverzichtbare fossile Kohlendioxid-Emittenten.Nicht nur, dass der Energieverbrauch ein Wohlstandsindikator ist, die Verfügbarkeit von günstiger Energie ist vielmehr ein Standortfaktor für die Wirtschaft. Künftige Industrien werden durch KI und Automatisierung gekennzeichnet sein und mehr statt weniger Strom benötigen. Erneuerbare Energien allein werden diese Energiemengen niemals bereitstellen können – allein schon wegen ihrer fehlenden durchgängigen Verfügbarkeit und der auf absehbare Zeit nicht vorhandenen ausreichenden Speicherkapazitäten. Wenn Sonne und Wind abwesend sind, müssen Alternativen einspringen. Deshalb ist klar: Der Verzicht auf Kernenergie bedingt den Einsatz fossiler Brennstoffe wie Kohle, russischem Gas oder LNG aus dem ungeliebten Fracking. Damit haben die GRÜNEN letztlich dem Klima und der hiesigen Wirtschaft gleichermaßen massiv geschadet. Dr. Anna Veronika Wendland, die anfangs Teil der Anti-Atomkraft-Bewegung war und sich mittlerweile zu einer Kernkraftbefürworterin gewandelt hat, erklärte die Zusammenhänge in Episode 148 Die grüne Kohlepartei. Wendland ist Technikhistorikerin am Herder-Institut in Marburg.

When life feels like a relentless heatwave—physically and spiritually—Psalm 23 offers more than poetic comfort; it offers divine renewal. In this devotional by Whitney Hopler, we’re reminded that God doesn’t just see our stress and exhaustion—He meets it with peace, stillness, and strength. Just like a good shepherd cares for his sheep, God refreshes your soul when you allow Him to lead you beside quiet waters. ✨ Highlights: God is your Shepherd – He provides, protects, and leads you with purpose. Spiritual renewal is available – Real rest comes not from a nap, but from God’s peace. Quiet waters = soul restoration – Make room for moments of prayer, nature, or Scripture that invite stillness. You lack nothing – Believing this frees you from stress and opens the door to lasting peace.

In this episode of The Refresh, host Kait unpacks some of the most significant shifts in media, search, and publishing. Alphabet reported record-breaking Q2 earnings driven by cloud and search, despite concerns about AI competition. Newsweek is proactively adjusting its business model to combat AI-related traffic threats, and the Paramount–Skydance merger finally got the FCC's green light, complete with political controversy and a timely South Park takedown. Alphabet's Blowout Quarter: Alphabet hit $96.4 billion in Q2 revenue, driven by strong performance in cloud (up 32%) and ad sales (up 10.4%), with YouTube capturing nearly 13% of all U.S. TV screen time. Publisher Impact from Generative AI: Google's AI overviews and search innovations are reducing referral traffic to publishers, with its network division down $100M this quarter—an early signal of monetization shifts. Newsweek's Monetization Overhaul: Facing declining search-driven traffic, Newsweek aims to lower its ad revenue dependency by investing in healthcare adtech, subscriptions, and syndication deals to charge AI bots for crawling content. Paramount–Skydance Merger Approved: The FCC approved the controversial Paramount-Skydance deal, just days after a $16M Trump settlement and CBS' cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. South Park Weighs In: South Park's season premiere mocked the Paramount merger and its political ties—airing hours after a $1.5B content deal was finalized between the show's creators and Paramount.

Colossians 3.1-17Jobey McGintyAs believers, made alive by God's grace and indwelt by His Spirit, we can pursue holiness not in our strength, but in His. It's time to intentionally "put off" the flesh and "put on" the fruit of the Spirit, as Colossians 3:1-17 urges. And, thankfully, this isn't dependent on human willpower. When we tap into the Spirit's power and God's Word, real change begins. So, what's the plan? Daily reading, memorization, and meditation on God's Word. Training ourselves to pray like Jesus, praying Scripture itself. And truly investing in purposeful, accountable community.

This week, join us as we revisit our episode on Hearsay for a refresher! Original Air Date: July 23, 2021. Rumor has it…there are times when the evidence you are seeking to introduce in court does not come from a witness there in court, but by someone who heard something that someone else said. If you are seeking to introduce this evidence to prove the truth of what was heard, then what you have is hearsay. Contrary to what you may have heard, hearsay isn't always inadmissible, and sometimes, hearsay isn't even (technically) hearsay. As usual, it depends – on whether the speaker is available, when and why they were speaking, and what motivated that statement. On this week's installment, Rebecca and Steve navigate the hearsay rule, its exceptions, and the exceptions to those exceptions to provide insight on precisely when out of court statements can be deemed admissible and when a court should refuse to play telephone.

bto - beyond the obvious 2.0 - der neue Ökonomie-Podcast von Dr. Daniel Stelter
bto#307 REFRESH – Seit Jahrhunderten werden politische Rivalitäten mit ökonomischen Mitteln ausgetragen. Wirtschaftskriege verdienen deshalb nicht nur den Namen, sie sind auch eher der Normalzustand als die Ausnahme. Heute erleben wir den Konflikt zwischen dem Westen einerseits und einer Allianz von China, Russland und weiteren Staaten andererseits. Dieser Konflikt beendet nicht nur die jahrzehntelange Phase sinkender Inflation und Zinsen, sondern erfordert massive Anstrengungen in den USA und in Europa. Noch ist keineswegs ausgemacht, dass es dem Westen gelingt, in diesem Systemwettbewerb zu bestehen.In der vorangegangenen Episode waren die Lehren der Wirtschaftsgeschichte für die heutige Zeit Gegenstand der Diskussion. In dieser Folge geht es nun um die enormen Herausforderungen, vor denen die westliche Welt steht. Wie groß die Problematik ist, war Gegenstand der Episode 184 unter der bezeichnenden Überschrift Der absolute Wirtschaftskrieg. Grundlage und Inspiration für die damalige Episode waren zahlreiche Analysen und Aufsätze von Zoltan Pozsar, dem früheren ungarisch-amerikanischen Starökonomen der Credit Suisse und heutigen Direktor des von ihm gegründeten Research-Unternehmens Ex Uno Plures.

In this episode, we unpack Jordan Peterson's ongoing struggle to clearly articulate his faith in Jesus, even when pressed by George Janko, Shawn Ryan, and others. We walk through key moments — from his ambiguous answers on podcasts, to his fiery exchange on Jubilee, to his silence when George asks point-blank if he's a Christian. We also contrast his journey with the biblical call to clarity and courage in following Jesus, exploring what his hesitation reveals about our own.
The President and Co-Founder of Run for Something talks about breaking the “gerontocracy,” empowering new leadership, and how not to be a “Bad Boomer Boss.”
In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, host Autumn highlights the life-or-death importance of keeping pigs cool and hydrated during hot summer months. Whether a pig lives indoors or outside, summer heat poses real dangers—especially since pigs don't sweat and can't regulate their body temperature like humans. -Hydration is essential: Fresh, clean water is non-negotiable. Cold water helps cool pigs internally, but it must be paired with external cooling methods. -Cooling methods: Reliable shade (not just patches that move with the sun)/ Mud wallows (cooling and protective against sunburn and bugs) / Kiddie pools (kept clean and refilled) / Fans, especially in humid climates where water evaporation isn't effective. -Water Bowl Solutions: Heavy-duty rubber or concrete bowls / Fence-mounted or anchored buckets / Automatic livestock waterers / Frozen water bottles or ice blocks to keep water cooler longer. Warning Signs of Heat Stress or Dehydration: Panting (an emergency sign), Lethargy, confusion, or staggering/ Hot skin, especially behind ears / Refusal to eat or drink / Vomiting or diarrhea. Emergency Actions: Move the pig to a shaded, cool area / offer cold water, and cool them gradually with a damp cloth—not ice-cold water / Contact a vet immediately if symptoms are present. Quick Checklist: Always offer cool, clean water / Refresh water at least 3x/day / Ensure shade and/or cooling areas / Use fans in humid environments / Check on pigs frequently / Have backup water in case of outages! Summer heat can be deadly for pigs if not properly managed. Proactive hydration and cooling strategies are key to keeping them healthy and safe!

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1101: Today we talk about how AI is quietly reshaping the workforce under the guise of “restructuring.” GM reports a profit dip but revs up electrified truck updates to meet shifting demands. Finally, California launches an innovative apprenticeship program to tackle the auto tech shortage head-on.GM's Q2 net income fell 35%, hit by $1.1 billion in tariffs, but the company holds firm on full-year profit goals. CEO Mary Barra highlights strategic moves to align with consumer demand. Meanwhile, GMC is updating its trucks and SUVs with plug-in hybrids arriving in 2027 and EV redesigns planned.Q2 revenue dropped 1.8% to $47.1 billion; North American pretax profit down 46%.Tariffs expected to cut profits by $4-$5 billion this year.GMC's Sierra and Yukon will add plug-in hybrids in 2027, with EV Sierra redesign in 2028.Hummer EV and other models due for updates through 2029.Barra: “We'll emerge from this transition stronger and more profitable than before.”California dealers are tackling the nationwide shortage of skilled auto techs with a new apprenticeship program. The initiative lets aspiring technicians learn on the job without upfront costs, offering wages, tools, and a U.S. Department of Labor certification after two years.CNCDA reports 400,000 tech job openings nationwide; California alone needs 5,000 more.The shift to EVs and retiring experienced techs are worsening the shortage.Apprenticeship pays a fair wage, requires no tuition, and includes e-learning tools.Open to anyone, especially those 18-30 without college degrees, aiming to avoid student debt.“This program offers a practical path to a lucrative career without the burden of traditional schooling,” said CNCDA representatives.While companies rarely admit it publicly, AI technology is increasingly driving workforce reductions disguised as restructuring or optimization. Early layoffs have targeted 1099 freelancers, especially in content and creative roles, HR, and Customer Service as firms cautiously phase in AI tools before affecting full-time employees.IBM and Klarna have been among the few transparent about AI replacing some jobs despite overall growth.Companies often use euphemisms like “restructuring,” “reorganization,” “optimization,” and “business efficiency” to mask AI-driven job cuts and avoid backlash.When AI falls short, companies often outsource work globally instead of rehiring domestically.“AI might automate 70% to 90% of a process, but the last mile still needs the human touch, especiallJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

This week's episode of The Refresh skips the usual industry drama to spotlight three major developments in advertising and media. Host Kait walks through The Trade Desk's milestone entry into the S&P 500, NBCUniversal's record-setting upfront performance, and Delta's bold use of AI for personalized airfare pricing. From validating independent ad tech to the future of programmatic sports buys and the controversy surrounding dynamic pricing, the episode unpacks where innovation is winning, and where it's raising eyebrows. The Trade Desk Joins the S&P 500: The Trade Desk became the first pure-play ad tech company in over 20 years to join the S&P 500, a sign of its financial strength, consistent profitability, and key role in the digital advertising ecosystem. Stock Surge Following Announcement: Following news of its inclusion, The Trade Desk's stock jumped 14% on July 14. Historically, companies newly added to the index see a 13–14% gain over the next year. NBCUniversal's Best Upfront Ever: NBCU reported a 15% YoY increase in total upfront commitments, with a 45% spike tied to sports. One-third of upfront spend went to Peacock, marking its largest digital upfront to date. Programmatic Drives New Advertiser Growth: NBCU attracted more small and midsize advertisers this year, many of whom used programmatic buying. Their programmatic revenue alone reached $1 billion in this cycle. Delta's Controversial AI Pricing Rollout: Delta plans to use AI to set prices for 20% of domestic tickets by the end of 2025. While positioned as innovation, critics have raised concerns over potential bias and lack of transparency in AI-driven fare models. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and EO Radio Show episode 129 is a refresh of episode 10, first published on August 8th, 2022. It provides a checklist of considerations when organizing a new charity to provide relief in the aftermath of a disaster. The recent flood events in Texas and New Mexico remind us of the need to support those affected by overwhelming disasters. We know that once the headlines fade and the cleanup begins, the immense work of recovery gets underway, and that recovery effort requires financial support. Long-term recovery efforts, long-term fundraising, and a long-term commitment to the victims are sometimes best provided by a new organization formed just for that purpose. The focus of this episode is on the steps the new charitable organization must take to provide effective long-term disaster relief.

Today's episode comes with some exciting news: the brand new Applied Depth Institute website is officially live! My team and I have been quietly working on this refresh for months, and I can't wait for you to see it. But in true Joanna fashion, I'm not just here to share the shiny finished product—I'm bringing you behind the scenes of what it actually took to get here. Spoiler alert: it was not all rainbows and unicorns. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the tech glitches, design misfires, unexpected delays, and the very human emotions that come with navigating a big project. And of course, I'm sharing some hard-won lessons to help you if (or when) you tackle a website update of your own. You'll hear about: Why it's normal for tech projects to be messier than you expect—and how to stay sane through it Why your site's functionality should lead design decisions (even if it breaks your heart a little) Tips for increasing opt-ins, visibility of upcoming events, and keeping folks engaged on your site Why more photos of you—even if it's uncomfortable—might be exactly what your site needs And yes, a loving nudge to trim your copy down, even if you're a word nerd like me

In this July 14th edition of The Refresh, host Kait recaps a whirlwind week in advertising marked by major leadership changes, surprising earnings news, and critical shifts in the social media and AI sectors. From Linda Yaccarino's headline-making exit at X to the rise of Threads and AI-powered browsers challenging Google, this episode covers the most important updates marketers need to know. With WPP's new CEO pick and YouTube's monetization policy pivot, it's clear the industry is evolving rapidly, both in people and platforms. Linda Yaccarino Exits X (0:38): After a tumultuous tenure trying to stabilize X's advertiser relations post-Elon Musk acquisition, Yaccarino stepped down, raising fresh concerns over the platform's future ad revenue and signaling a deeper pivot toward AI integration via XAI. WPP Names Cindy Rose as Next CEO (2:11): With a background at Microsoft, Virgin Media, and Disney, Rose's appointment signals WPP's strategic shift toward becoming a more AI- and tech-centric organization amid falling revenue forecasts and mounting competitive pressure. WPP Cuts 2025 Revenue Guidance (3:15): In an unscheduled earnings update, WPP downgraded its 2025 outlook to a 3–5% decline, citing macroeconomic headwinds and major client losses including Coca-Cola and Paramount.

Ivy encourages everyone to pause and evaluate their progress so far in 2025, analyze what's working and what's not, and determine where to focus for the rest of the year. She also shares actionable insights on how to course correct and leverage resources moving forward. In this episode, we discuss: How to conduct a half-year review of your business, including evaluating progress toward your goals and checking if you're on track. What specific areas to assess at the mid-year mark: financials, team performance, and marketing effectiveness.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Leah Harman, known on trail as Twig. Although Twig is relatively new to the world of thru-hiking, with less than 10 years of experience, she's hit the ground running, accruing well over 10,000 miles in the process. In addition to all the usual suspects, triple crown trails, Colorado Trail, TA, Arizona Trail…Twig has also completed a number of lesser known trails, including the Mogollon Rim Trail, Bigfoot Trail, and a Desert Winter Thru-Hike from Tucson to San Diego. We of course learn all about these treks, why cows are the most dangerous animal on trail, and how she makes her perpetual hiker trash lifestyle work. Leah also recounts her past life living and working aboard ships, confirming that all the stereotypes about drunk and horny sailors are, in fact, hilariously accurate, complete with some entertaining hazing stories. We wrap the show with news of a group who trusted ChatGPT to plan their hike, and how that went terribly wrong, Chaunce details the stress associated with planning a wedding, and the triple crown of movie/tv shows that broke us.
