We continue our Resort Wars series with a showdown between two EPCOT-area favorites: Disney's BoardWalk Inn and the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. Both resorts offer incredible access to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, but they deliver completely different vacation experiences. BoardWalk Inn immerses guests in the charm and nostalgia of a turn-of-the-century Atlantic City boardwalk, complete with lively entertainment, unique dining, and one of the most iconic atmospheres at Walt Disney World. Meanwhile, Swan Reserve offers a more modern and luxurious approach, featuring some of the newest rooms on property, spacious family suites, and access to the extensive amenities, pools, and dining options of the Swan and Dolphin resorts. Throughout the episode, we compare the two resorts across seven categories, including theming and atmosphere, rooms and comfort, dining and drinks, transportation and location, recreation and amenities, value for money, and listener feedback. We discuss everything from the magic of strolling the BoardWalk at night and grabbing a drink at AbracadaBar to the benefits of staying in a sleek, contemporary room just steps from EPCOT. Will Disney's immersive storytelling and unmatched atmosphere help BoardWalk Inn secure the victory? Or will Swan Reserve's modern accommodations, impressive amenities, and strong value proposition prove too much to overcome? Whether you're planning your next Walt Disney World vacation or trying to decide where to stay for an upcoming trip, this episode will help you determine which of these popular Crescent Lake resorts is the better fit for your travel style.

A remote Albanian island has a new nickname: Kushner Island. Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump and founder of investment firm Affinity Partners, plans to build a $14bn luxury resort there. The project has sparked large protests, with crowds chanting, “Albania is not for sale.” Is this the future Albanians want, or a sellout of their land to foreign wealth?

Sponsored by Hers. Go to forhers.com/rushhour to get started today! On this morning episode of The Rush Hour Podcast, we dive into the growing controversy surrounding Albania's Sazan Island as newly released development plans spark outrage among environmentalists, local residents, and transparency advocates. Critics argue that powerful investors and political insiders are attempting to transform protected wetlands and pristine coastal ecosystems into luxury destinations for the ultra-wealthy, raising concerns about corruption, environmental destruction, and who truly benefits from these massive development projects. We break down the latest documents, the backlash from conservation groups, the protests gaining momentum across Albania, and why many believe this battle is about far more than a single island—it's a fight over the future ownership of one of Europe's last untouched natural treasures. Plus, we discuss the global trend of billionaires reshaping public lands and what it means when economic development collides with environmental preservation.

Lee explains how a beginning photography class and constant shooting of high school sports led to newspaper work at the LA Times as a writer, then a shift toward photography, with his writing background improving his ability to anticipate storylines and caption images. He discusses transitioning from film to digital around 2003, joining WireImage, and the demanding preparation, gear, remotes, and selective shooting required for pro sports. Lee recounts an accidental iconic NFC Championship photo and describes Olympic pressure, including a 2008 100m final where his camera buffered due to memory card speed, emphasizing equipment reliability.Energize your sales with Shareme.chat, the proven texting platform.

Liam Horrobin is running the show today on Oilersnation Everyday, with Oilersnation writer Michael Menzies riding shotgun as the guys dive into a very busy news day around the Edmonton Oilers.The big story continues to evolve around Mike Babcock, with new reports surfacing this morning suggesting the NHLPA has received “significant” additional claims regarding his tenure in Columbus — the same situation that ultimately led to his firing. What does this mean moving forward, and why is this gaining traction now?The conversation doesn't stop there. The guys also break down the report that members of the Oilers' leadership group may be pushing for Babcock to become the next head coach in Edmonton. If true, what could that mean for the upcoming season, the locker room, and even potential future free agent decisions?Plus, we open up the mailbag to see how Oilersnation is reacting to all the speculation and rumours swirling around this potential hire. To wrap things up, Liam and Michael get you set for game day with some Bet365 picks and betting angles to watch.A packed episode with plenty to unpack — let's get into it.
Nate brings us this story this week and I personally enjoyed this one. In 1980 men in disquise deliver a bamob to Harvey's Resort Hotel and Casino with ransom demands as well as the claim they didn't wish to hurt anyone and told the authorities involved exactly how much explosives there were and how far of a radius to clear people to keep them safe, what follows though is interesting and then ridiculous.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on the growing opposition to the Trump family-linked resort in Albania.
Thousands have protested in the streets of the Albanian capital, Tirana, this week against a planned luxury resort backed by Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Groundwork has begun on the $1.6bn complex in an area long seen as one of the Mediterranean's most environmentally sensitive, containing 200 species of birds including flamingos and Dalmatian pelicans. After builders began erecting a concrete-based, barbed wire-topped fence around the site, alarm turned to public outrage at the environmental damage and lack of political transparency around the deal. Lucy Hough speaks to US live news editor Chris Michael – watch on YouTube. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus
The U.S. House votes for Ukraine aid in defiance of President Donad Trump and Senate Republicans only narrowly defeat a Democratic amendment to kill his $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund. Thousands of Albanians protest in Tirana against a coastal tourism complex linked to Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. And the first confirmed U.S. case of the flesh-eating screwworm could bump up meat prices. Listen to the Morning Bid podcast here. Sign up for the Reuters Econ World newsletter here.

A little char on certain foods can add some nice flavor complexity to a dish. On this episode, we've got the podcast version of that, with two char-related news items right at the top.Because we like to start with the positive, our first chat is about Uncle Wolfie's next pop-up dining event happening this Saturday: Chard Soul, a Southern soul food and barbecue experience from the mind of chef Travis Anderson. The former executive chef of West Bend supper club Timmer's Resort, Anderson isn't messing around with a menu as loaded as your plate should be if you manage to score a seat.In more mixed news, Milwaukee diners found out that their last chance to dine at Char'd has come and gone, as the modern Korean restaurant in the Third Ward shut down last Saturday. Not all is lost, however, because the owners are pivoting to a new concept: the curiously punctuated bb.q Chicken, a worldwide chain that will open its first Wisconsin location in July.Moving on to non-flame-related items, there's a new takeout-focused buffet coming to 76th Street near Capitol Drive that will put Hmong dishes front and center, with Thai and Lao cuisine mixed in as well. Asian H Express will take over the former Jackie's Cafe space at 3902 N. 76th St., with co-owner Sam Vang telling Urban Milwaukee that the focus will be on variety so “people can come and pick whatever they want.”

On this afternoon episode of The Rush Hour Podcast, we dive into the growing controversy surrounding Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump as protests erupt over their family's international business interests, with demonstrators raising concerns about political influence, foreign investments, and the future of local communities. We break down the latest developments, what critics are saying, and why this story is drawing renewed scrutiny around the Trump family's global footprint. Plus, we cover the escalating fallout involving UFC star Sean Strickland, who says he's been banned from the upcoming UFC White House event after publicly criticizing Donald Trump and raising questions about the Epstein case. Strickland's comments have sparked a fierce debate among fans, political commentators, and members of the MMA community, with some applauding his willingness to speak out while others accuse him of chasing controversy. We'll examine the backlash, the political implications, and what it says about the increasingly blurred lines between sports, media, and politics. Join us for all the latest news, analysis, and commentary on the stories everyone will be talking about.

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!A four-lens 3D camera lab. A crash course in corporate chaos. A front-row seat to the switch from film and chemicals to digital video and modern production. Gary Pageau interviews Bryan Wetzel about his path from photography school into Nishika Corp.'s R&D lab, experimenting with lenticular 3D imaging, large-format printing, and early efforts toward computer-based 3D, plus shooting Nishika projects including an instructional video with Alan Thicke and a commercial with Little Richard. Wetzel takes us inside his time at Nishika, where lenticular 3D photography meant optical processes, experimental rigs, and constant problem-solving. From there, we dig into the realities of shooting and editing, why “fix it in post” can become an excuse for sloppy work, and how being early to digital created real opportunity when clients suddenly wanted faster workflows and better quality.Then the conversation widens to the business of media and entrepreneurship: why Georgia's transferable film tax incentives helped studios and crews actually take root, how Wetzel helped build a teacher-led educational video platform before online learning was polished, and what happened when he accidentally became a gym owner and later took over a restaurant right before lockdown. Along the way, Wetzel shares the most useful small business advice he learned from a no-nonsense mentor: say no without explaining yourself, don't fall in love with your business, and write the business plan before your heart lies to your head.Wetzel explains transitioning from still photography to video because corporate clients wouldn't fund film, adopting early digital editing and cameras in Georgia ahead of the 1996 Olympics, and building a corporate client base. He discusses Georgia's transferable film tax credits, then describes launching an educational-video company around 2008 that produced about 1,500–1,900 teacher-led videos and assessments for schools before being sold. He later acquired a gym (2017), briefly ran a restaurant through COVID-era challenges, sold it, and now writes books, sharing key business lessons on saying no, not overcommitting emotionally to a business, and writing realistic business plans.Energize your sales with Shareme.chat, the proven texting platform.

In this episode of the Overdog Podcast, we're digging into the small habits that quietly separate thriving pet resorts from the ones constantly stuck in chaos. It's not about massive overhauls, expensive software, or flashy marketing campaigns — it's about the little things your team does every single day that shape customer loyalty, staff culture, and long-term growth. From creating stronger emotional connections with pet parents to building a more aligned and motivated team, this conversation breaks down how consistency beats intensity when it comes to running a successful business.We also get into the habits owners need for themselves — because burnout, reactivity, and constantly putting out fires will eventually catch up with you. If you've ever felt like you're working nonstop but still not gaining momentum, this episode will challenge you to rethink where real progress actually comes from. None of these habits are complicated, but stacked together over time, they can completely transform the way your business operates.

We're putting two of Walt Disney World's most beloved Deluxe Resorts head-to-head as Disney's Yacht Club Resort takes on Disney's Beach Club Resort. These sister resorts may share Stormalong Bay and a prime Crescent Lake location, but they offer two very different vacation vibes — and we're breaking it all down to decide which one comes out on top. We compare Yacht Club's refined nautical elegance and quieter, more adult-leaning atmosphere against Beach Club's bright, beachy energy and family-friendly charm. From theming and room comfort to dining, transportation, recreation, and overall value, each resort battles it out round by round in classic Resort Wars fashion. We also discuss fan-favorite dining locations like Yachtsman Steakhouse, Ale & Compass, Cape May Cafe, and Beaches & Cream, plus the unbeatable walkability to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios that makes this resort area one of the best on property. If you're trying to decide which resort is best for your next Walt Disney World vacation — whether you're planning an adults-only getaway, family trip, festival weekend, or pool-focused staycation — this episode should help you decide which side of Crescent Lake deserves your vote.
