478: Pommeau: What Happens When a French Classic Lands on U.S. Labels

What is Pommeau? Pommeau is a: fortified blend of fresh apple must (unfermented) and apple brandy (typically Calvados in Normandy or Lambig in Brittany). The unfermented apple juice and brandy are combined before fermentation, which halts the process entirely and preserves natural sweetness. By law in France, Pommeau must be aged a minimum of 18 months in oak and produced within designated regions. It's rich, amber-colored, and served as an apéritif. It is consider to be a French heritage drink shaped by decades of refinement and protected standards. When did Pommeau receive AOC status? Pommeau received its official Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) status in 1991, formalizing the traditional method and legally protecting what can and cannot be called Pommeau within France. And in America? If you ask what Pommeau is in the United States, the answer is: nothing defined. There is no legal TTB definition, no standard of identity, and no trade agreement protecting the name. Yet hundreds of U.S. labels already use the word…sometimes accurately, sometimes loosely, often inconsistently. So the question becomes, "What happens when a French classic with strict rules lands on U.S. labels with no rules at all?" That's the conversation American isn't having… yet. In this episode, Ria speaks with alcohol beverage attorney Lindsey Zahn to unpack what it means to use the word Pommeau in the U.S.—legally, culturally, ethically—and what cider makers and consumers should consider going forward.

Así funciona X Chat, el nuevo WhatsApp de Elon MuskLos nuevos mensajes cifrados de X prometen privacidad total, llamadas y archivos sin publicidad ni rastreo  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  X, la red antes conocida como Twitter, presenta X Chat: un sistema de mensajería con cifrado de extremo a extremo, videollamadas, mensajes que desaparecen y bloqueo de capturas de pantalla. Elon Musk quiere convertir X en la “app para todo”, como el WeChat de China, empezando por este nuevo chat que busca competir con WhatsApp y Signal.  Sigue escuchando Flash Diario en Spotify y cuéntame qué piensas sobre esta nueva apuesta de Elon Musk por la mensajería segura.X Chat ya está disponible en iPhone y en la web, y pronto va a llegar a Android. Es la nueva función de mensajería de X, creada para ofrecer conversaciones cifradas y seguras. El servicio incluye llamadas de voz y video, envío de archivos de cualquier tipo, y la posibilidad de editar o borrar mensajes. También permite configurar mensajes que desaparecen automáticamente.La idea de Elon Musk es que X deje de ser solo una red social para transformarse en una herramienta completa de comunicación. Pero ¿qué tan segura y práctica es esta nueva opción frente a las aplicaciones más conocidas?  Muchos se preguntan si realmente podemos confiar en su cifrado  El cifrado de extremo a extremo, conocido como E2EE, significa que solo tú y la persona con quien hablas pueden leer los mensajes. Ni siquiera la empresa que ofrece el servicio puede verlos. X asegura que X Chat usa este sistema tanto para textos como para archivos, prometiendo privacidad sin anuncios ni rastreo.A diferencia del antiguo sistema de mensajes directos de Twitter, ahora los datos viajan en un canal encriptado. Además, X Chat permite bloquear las capturas de pantalla o recibir una notificación si alguien las toma. También ofrece mensajes que se autodestruyen en un tiempo definido por el usuario. Y todo esto funciona en una sola bandeja junto con los mensajes antiguos, para no perder el historial.  El problema es que el cifrado no protege todo. X reconoce que la llamada metadata —los datos sobre quién envía, a quién, y cuándo— no está protegida. Y ese tipo de información puede ser muy reveladora. Por eso algunos expertos dudan de la seguridad total de X Chat.Otro punto en discusión es la confianza. Aunque Elon Musk afirma que el sistema está inspirado en la seguridad de Bitcoin y en el lenguaje Rust, algunos analistas recuerdan que X ya tuvo que pausar el cifrado en mayo de este año por fallas. También señalan que la compañía planea ofrecer funciones avanzadas solo a usuarios Premium, lo que deja el servicio básico con menos herramientas de protección.  Pese a las críticas, X Chat representa un paso técnico importante. Al fin X tiene un sistema de mensajería moderno y cifrado, con llamadas y archivos, en un entorno libre de anuncios. Su desarrollo en Rust ayuda a prevenir errores comunes en la memoria y a mejorar la velocidad del sistema.Aunque la protección no es tan completa como la de Signal o Wire, la experiencia es más fluida y el cifrado ahora cubre también los grupos y los archivos multimedia. Además, la integración con la plataforma permite comunicarse sin necesidad de número de teléfono, algo que muchos usuarios agradecen.  El cifrado de extremo a extremo se popularizó con WhatsApp en 2016, pero fue creado antes por aplicaciones como Signal y Telegram. Hoy se usa para proteger la comunicación en apps de mensajería, videollamadas e incluso en servicios de correo. En este sistema, los mensajes se codifican con una llave que solo los dispositivos del emisor y el receptor pueden descifrar.WeChat, el modelo que Musk quiere replicar, supera los 1.400 millones de usuarios en China. En Occidente, WhatsApp tiene más de 3.000 millones de usuarios activos. Con X Chat, Musk busca unir mensajería, pagos y redes sociales en un solo lugar. Además, ya se menciona el proyecto X Money, que podría permitir enviar dinero y hacer compras desde la misma aplicación.  Cada día, desde Flash Diario, te acompañamos con noticias de tecnología, ciencia y entretenimiento digital. Lo hacemos para ayudarte a entender cómo estos avances pueden mejorar tu vida y tu manera de ver el mundo.Gracias a ti, que escuchas todos los días, y también a ti, que llegas por primera vez, por hacer parte de esta comunidad curiosa y constructiva. Nuestro objetivo es que te mantengas bien informado, con contenido claro, útil y positivo.  X Chat llega con cifrado, videollamadas y mensajes que desaparecen, buscando competir con WhatsApp y Signal. Aunque aún tiene puntos por mejorar, marca un cambio importante en X.Sigue escuchando Flash Diario en Spotify y cuéntame qué piensas sobre esta nueva apuesta de Elon Musk por la mensajería segura.  X Chat llega a X con cifrado, mensajes que desaparecen y videollamadas.

Mack Story unpacks the subtle yet powerful ways distrust creeps into relationships, both personal and professional, often without us realizing it.By sharing practical strategies, Mack equips listeners to recognize and counteract distrust, fostering stronger, more resilient connections with their teams and loved ones.Mack explains how seemingly minor actions—like forgetting to say thank you, ignoring a colleague, or taking someone's efforts for granted—can create distrust faster than trust is built, as distrust taps directly into our emotions.Drawing from personal anecdotes, like his appreciation for his wife Ria's cooking, Mack illustrates how automatic or accidental distrust accumulates over time, especially with those closest to us. He emphasizes that without intentional trust-building efforts, relationships risk deteriorating into divorce, workplace conflicts, or stagnation, using real-world examples to highlight the stakes in blue-collar environments.Mack challenges leaders to offset unintentional distrust by actively building trust through consistent, caring actions, such as acknowledging others' contributions or showing genuine respect.Mack contrasts the ease of reconnecting with old friends—where trust remains intact due to time apart—with the daily erosion that occurs in close relationships when trust isn't nurtured.

Spotify lanza dos funciones nuevas: resumen con inteligencia artificial para audiolibros y modo aleatorio mejorado Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Escucha este episodio completo en Flash Diario.Spotify acaba de presentar dos novedades pensadas para quienes escuchan música o audiolibros en su app. La primera es “Recaps”, un resumen con inteligencia artificial que te pone al día en cualquier libro que hayas dejado a medias. La segunda es un nuevo modo “Aleatorio con menos repeticiones”, que promete variar más las canciones en tus listas de reproducción. Ambas funciones ya están disponibles para usuarios Premium en iPhone y están siendo probadas en inglés. ¿Qué tan distintas son estas mejoras y cómo van a cambiar la forma en que escuchas Spotify?Lo curioso es que ambas funciones resuelven problemas muy antiguosDesde hace años, los oyentes de audiolibros en Spotify pedían una forma de recordar dónde habían quedado. “Recaps” responde justo a eso. Esta herramienta genera un resumen de audio, creado con inteligencia artificial, que se activa después de escuchar entre 15 y 20 minutos de un libro. Cuando vuelves, solo tocas el botón “Recap” y escuchas un resumen sin spoilers, narrado con una voz natural. Es como un “anteriormente en…” de las series, pero para libros. Así puedes retomar tu historia sin tener que retroceder ni perder tiempo buscando el punto exacto donde te quedaste.Muchos usuarios abandonan los audiolibros porque los dejan a medias y luego olvidan lo que pasó. Spotify lo sabe, y por eso desarrolló esta función con ayuda de grandes editoriales como Penguin Random House, HarperCollins y Hachette. Desde que compró la plataforma Findaway en 2021, la empresa ha construido un catálogo de más de 500 000 títulos y paga cientos de millones de dólares a las editoriales cada año. Con Recaps, Spotify busca que más gente termine los libros que empieza, sin reemplazar la narración original ni usar esos contenidos para entrenar modelos de inteligencia artificial. Su director de investigación, Paul Bennett, aclaró que los resúmenes no modifican ni imitan la voz de los narradores.La otra novedad de Spotify es para quienes escuchan música. Desde hace años, los usuarios se quejaban de que el modo aleatorio no era tan aleatorio. Decían que el algoritmo repetía artistas o canciones muy seguido. Spotify escuchó y lanzó dos tipos de “shuffle”: el nuevo “Menos repeticiones” y el “Estándar”. El primero será el modo predeterminado e intenta mantener la frescura mezclando los temas con más variedad, mientras que el segundo usa un generador matemático llamado Mersenne Twister para crear un orden completamente al azar. En los ajustes de reproducción podrás elegir el que prefieras. Spotify explicó que el nuevo “Aleatorio con menos repeticiones” genera cientos de combinaciones posibles de una lista, las evalúa y elige la que más variedad ofrece. Según su directora de personalización, Lauren Saunders, “la aleatoriedad pura puede ser frustrante, porque a veces se agrupan canciones parecidas”. La idea es que el oyente sienta sorpresa, pero sin que se repitan los mismos artistas. Además, la empresa añadió funciones como “Snooze” para pausar recomendaciones, y Wrapped-style para ver tus estadísticas musicales cuando quieras. Con estas actualizaciones, Spotify quiere que escuchar música o audiolibros sea más personal y menos repetitivo, apostando al control del usuario y a una experiencia más humana.  Spotify está usando inteligencia artificial y nuevos algoritmos para hacer que escuchar música o audiolibros sea más fácil, variado y entretenido. “Recaps” te resume el libro que dejaste a medias, y el nuevo modo aleatorio refresca tus listas.

Pero Even Realities propone hacerlo sin que nadie note que llevas tecnología encima.Hoy vamos a descubrir cómo estas gafas logran proyectar texto en tus lentes, traducir conversaciones en tiempo real y hasta mostrar un teleprompter, todo sin romper la privacidad.Y sí, con un anillo en el dedo que funciona como mando, y que además mide tus pasos, tu ritmo cardíaco y tu sueño.Even Realities presentó las nuevas G2, una evolución ligera y minimalista de sus primeras gafas inteligentes. Cuestan 599 dólares, pesan solo 36 gramos y tienen una pantalla un 75 % más grande que la versión anterior. A diferencia de las Ray-Ban de Meta, no tienen cámaras ni altavoces, lo que evita el problema de grabar sin consentimiento y mejora la comodidad.El nuevo anillo R1, de 249 dólares, permite controlar las funciones del display con gestos del pulgar, sin necesidad de tocar las gafas. Además, incluye sensores que registran pasos, pulso y sueño.Estas gafas con realidad aumentada proyectan texto, traducciones, notificaciones o un teleprompter directamente sobre los lentes. La empresa promete dos días de batería y hasta siete recargas extra en el estuche.¿Podrán ser el primer par de gafas inteligentes que la gente quiera usar todos los días?Parece magia, pero en realidad es óptica, inteligencia artificial… y una buena estrategia de diseño.Even Realities nació con una idea clara: hacer gafas inteligentes que no espanten a nadie. Nada de cámaras grabando a desconocidos ni de altavoces transmitiendo sonido al aire.Su primer modelo, el G1, fue una prueba. El G2 llega con todo lo que aprendieron de ese experimento: lentes más delgados, más ligeros y con pantallas micro-LED de alta definición integradas en ambos cristales.La tecnología que usan se llama HAO 2.0 —Holistic Adaptive Optics—, un sistema de proyección dual que muestra texto verde flotante, como un pequeño “HUD”, una interfaz de realidad aumentada que no molesta a la vista.Los materiales son una mezcla de titanio y aleación de magnesio. Eso las hace resistentes y, sobre todo, cómodas. La forma puede ser redonda o rectangular, y hay tres colores: gris, marrón o verde. También son resistentes al agua y al polvo con certificación IP67.El gran reto de las gafas inteligentes ha sido siempre el mismo: hacer que la gente quiera usarlas.Las Google Glass fracasaron por su aspecto. Las Ray-Ban de Meta inquietan por sus cámaras. Y otras marcas han apostado por proyectores enormes o diseños demasiado futuristas.Even Realities optó por el camino opuesto: unas gafas que parecen gafas normales. Su apuesta se llama quiet tech, o “tecnología silenciosa”: dispositivos que no llaman la atención y que se integran en la vida cotidiana.Pero hay otro desafío: la interacción. Si no hay cámara, ni altavoz, ni pantalla táctil, ¿cómo se manejan?Ahí entra el R1, un anillo de acero inoxidable con recubrimiento cerámico que se convierte en un control invisible. Con un roce del pulgar se puede navegar por menús, pasar una diapositiva, activar traducción simultánea o controlar el teleprompter.El resultado es un conjunto que se siente natural. El G2 muestra la hora, el clima, tus recordatorios y los titulares del día en un panel flotante frente a tus ojos. También traduce conversaciones en 29 idiomas y ofrece indicaciones de navegación paso a paso.Si activas el modo Conversate, la inteligencia artificial Even AI escucha la charla y te sugiere preguntas, genera subtítulos o resume lo que se habló. Todo sin grabar audio, solo transcripción.El anillo no solo sirve de mando: también mide frecuencia cardíaca, oxígeno en sangre y calidad del sueño. Aunque no alcanza la precisión de un reloj deportivo, cumple como complemento.La batería dura dos días, y el estuche ofrece siete cargas completas. El R1 puede durar hasta cuatro.Lo más interesante es su enfoque en la privacidad y la comodidad. No te espía, no graba a nadie, y pesa menos que muchos anteojos comunes.Durante la presentación, el director ejecutivo Will Wang explicó que su meta es “ser el Tesla y el OpenAI de las gafas inteligentes”. La empresa distribuye ya su primer modelo, el G1, en más de 350 tiendas de óptica de lujo.El nuevo modelo G2 amplía el rango de prescripciones: desde –12 hasta +12 dioptrías, lo que permite que casi cualquier persona las use.La interfaz permite leer noticias, revisar listas, controlar el calendario y hasta ensayar discursos con el modo Teleprompter, una función que ya usó el creador de Oculus, Palmer Luckey, en una charla TED.Los expertos coinciden en que el hardware es sobresaliente, pero el software todavía necesita pulirse. Algunos probadores encontraron fallos en la app beta y datos de salud que no se sincronizaban bien. Even Realities promete actualizaciones y una tienda llamada Even Hub, donde desarrolladores podrán crear sus propias aplicaciones para las gafas.El lanzamiento global ya está en marcha: tanto el G2 como el anillo R1 están a la venta desde noviembre con un descuento del 50 % en accesorios para los primeros compradores.Las Even G2 son un paso real hacia unas gafas inteligentes que parecen normales.Ofrecen pantalla, IA y control por anillo sin invadir la privacidad. Falta que el software madure, pero la dirección es clara: la tecnología invisible ya está aquí.¿Tú te pondrías unas gafas que muestran texto sin que nadie lo note? Cuéntamelo y escucha este y otros episodios en Flash Diario en Spotify.Las gafas Even G2 proyectan texto en tus lentes y se controlan con un anillo inteligente que mide tu salud.

Perry Pear, Mr. Quince, and The Medlars talk through the art of pairing cider and perry for the entire Thanksgiving feast, from the welcome sip to dessert. You will learn how to shop with confidence, how to read a label for style rather than brand, and how to bring bottles that make every part of the meal sing.

Google lanza una alerta global sobre aplicaciones VPN falsas que roban datos personales y contraseñasPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoTú puedes ampliar esta información y escuchar más consejos de ciberseguridad siguiendo el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify.Google advierte que miles de aplicaciones falsas se hacen pasar por redes privadas virtuales —los llamados VPN— para infectar teléfonos y computadores.Estas apps maliciosas pueden robar contraseñas, historiales de navegación, mensajes privados, claves bancarias y hasta billeteras de criptomonedas.El aviso llega justo cuando millones de personas están descargando VPN para saltarse las nuevas leyes de restricción de contenido en Reino Unido y Estados Unidos.Google confirmó que hay una oleada de aplicaciones fraudulentas disfrazadas de VPN legítimos, distribuidas en Android, iPhone y computadoras.Los hackers las usan para espiar a los usuarios con publicidad engañosa, ofertas falsas y permisos abusivos.El aumento del riesgo coincide con una explosión mundial de descargas de VPN: solo en Reino Unido, el uso creció más de 1.400 % desde que entró en vigor la ley que obliga a verificar la edad para ver contenido adulto.La advertencia de Google busca evitar que quienes buscan privacidad terminen perdiéndola por completo.El problema: muchos VPN que prometen seguridad son trampas.Un VPN —una red privada virtual— crea un túnel cifrado entre tu dispositivo y el servidor al que te conectas.Sirve para proteger tus datos en redes públicas y también para simular que estás en otro país.Por eso se volvió popular para acceder a servicios bloqueados por ubicación o por edad.Pero los estafadores encontraron ahí una oportunidad: clonar marcas conocidas o crear apps falsas que parecen seguras, pero envían tus datos a servidores desconocidos, muchos de ellos en China o Rusia.Google confirmó que algunas de esas aplicaciones fueron detectadas incluso dentro de tiendas oficiales, con reseñas falsas y nombres muy parecidos a los originales.El riesgo no se limita a los usuarios que buscan privacidad: afecta también a empresas y a estudiantes.Entre las amenazas más comunes están los troyanos bancarios, los ladrones de contraseñas y los accesos remotos ocultosque permiten controlar el teléfono a distancia.En los últimos meses, analistas de seguridad descubrieron campañas en las que se usaban facturas falsas de VPN o anuncios con contenido sexual para engañar a los usuarios.Una vez instalada la app, el malware puede copiar tus chats, tus datos financieros y hasta tus correos corporativos.Google recomienda activar “Play Protect” en Android, mantener siempre actualizado el sistema operativo y desconfiar de cualquier VPN gratuito o que pida acceso a tus contactos, fotos o mensajes.Las cifras muestran que la mayoría de las víctimas usan servicios gratuitos o descargados fuera de las tiendas oficiales.Y aunque pagar por un VPN no garantiza seguridad total, reduce mucho los riesgos.Expertos de TechRadar y Proton recomiendan usar marcas auditadas y transparentes como Proton VPN, NordVPN, Mullvad o PrivadoVPN, que no guardan registros de uso y ofrecen cifrado real.Google insiste en que los usuarios deben revisar el icono de verificación VPN en Google Play y evitar las descargas directas desde enlaces compartidos o redes sociales.La empresa también sugiere evitar el uso de redes Wi-Fi públicas, especialmente en aeropuertos, cafés y hoteles, donde es más fácil interceptar conexiones.La alerta llega en medio de un cambio global en la regulación de internet.Varios estados de EE. UU. y el Reino Unido están imponiendo bloqueos de páginas para adultos y sistemas de verificación de edad.Eso disparó el uso de VPN y con él, las oportunidades para el cibercrimen.Solo en la primera mitad de 2025 hubo más de 10 millones de descargas de VPN en el Reino Unido, según TechRadar.Y muchas de esas apps se comunicaban con servidores en Asia y Europa del Este.Google advierte que el peligro aumenta cuando se combina con redes Wi-Fi públicas sin cifrado: esos puntos de acceso abiertos permiten ataques del tipo “man-in-the-middle”, en los que un intruso puede interceptar o alterar los datos enviados por el usuario.Por eso la nueva recomendación de seguridad de Google es clara: usa un VPN legítimo, o ninguno.Los VPN pueden proteger tu privacidad, pero también pueden destruirla si instalas uno falso.Google pide usar solo aplicaciones verificadas, desconfiar de las gratuitas y evitar redes Wi-Fi abiertas.Google alerta: miles de VPN falsas roban datos y contraseñas. Usa solo apps verificadas y evita redes Wi-Fi públicas.

Samsung y iFit traen entrenamientos guiados por expertos al reloj Galaxy Watch y la app Samsung HealthPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoSamsung anunció su alianza con la plataforma de ejercicio iFit para integrar cientos de rutinas guiadas en la app Samsung Health y en los relojes Galaxy Watch. La colaboración busca ofrecer una experiencia de entrenamiento más completa y personalizada, conectando los relojes con caminadoras y bicicletas compatibles de NordicTrack y ProForm. Además, quienes compren un nuevo Galaxy Watch 8 o Ultra van a poder acceder a seis meses gratis de entrenamientos premium con instructores de todo el mundo.Cuéntanos si te gustaría probarlo y sigue el pódcast Flash Diario para conocer más innovaciones en tecnología y salud.Samsung Health, la aplicación de bienestar que viene en los móviles y relojes Galaxy, ahora integra rutinas en video creadas por entrenadores de iFit. Esto convierte al ecosistema de Samsung en una alternativa directa frente a Apple Fitness+ y Fitbit Premium, pero con un toque más abierto. Cualquier persona podrá ver un video gratis al mes de cada una de las siete categorías: yoga, pilates, fuerza, recuperación, mindfulness, barre y entrenamiento de alta intensidad.Los usuarios que quieran más acceso pueden suscribirse a iFit por diez dólares al mes o cien al año.Además, quienes compren un Galaxy Watch 8, 8 Classic o Ultra recibirán seis meses gratis del servicio.Pero los antiguos dueños del Galaxy Watch no reciben nada.iFit es una plataforma global de entrenamiento usada en miles de gimnasios y casas. Sus máquinas NordicTrack y ProForm ya mostraban métricas como ritmo cardíaco o calorías, pero ahora esos datos se conectarán directamente con los relojes Galaxy Watch, en tiempo real. Eso significa que mientras una persona corre o pedalea, podrá ver en su muñeca los mismos valores que en la pantalla del equipo.Samsung busca con esto cerrar una brecha frente a Apple, que desde hace años ofrece contenido similar con Apple Fitness+.

Esto ha generado descontento en foros y redes sociales, donde muchos usuarios sienten que se premia al comprador nuevo y no al leal.Por otra parte, la integración aún no llega a todos los países.

Su tecnología se usa en máquinas de gimnasios profesionales y en equipos domésticos de alta gama. La idea de integrar su biblioteca con Samsung Health permite que más personas accedan a entrenamientos guiados sin tener que comprar un aparato costoso.En paralelo, Samsung amplía el atractivo de sus relojes al ofrecer funciones que antes solo tenía Apple Watch, como ver los datos del entrenamiento directamente sincronizados con las máquinas.La tarifa mensual de iFit es de 10 dólares o 100 dólares al año, pero quienes adquieran un dispositivo Galaxy nuevo podrán probarlo gratis hasta seis meses, según el modelo comprado.Samsung e iFit unieron fuerzas para llevar entrenamientos profesionales a tu muñeca y a la app Samsung Health.

How to clarify, stabilize, and finish cider the right way The Purpose of Secondary Fermentation when Making Cider Once the apple juice has started fermented and it is now slowing down, it is time to rack over your cider for secondary fermentation. Secondary fermentation is where your cider moves from "young" to "refined." This stage improves clarity, stability, and overall quality before bottling or serving. 00:00 – Introduction and Welcome 00:27 – Meet the Host: Ria Windcaller 00:45 – The Magic of Clothes Pins 01:14 – Episode Overview: Secondary Fermentation 01:55 – Replay Announcement: Season 8, Episode 386 02:14 – Cider Making in the Northern Hemisphere 02:34 – Cider Making Resources and Equipment 06:09 – Totally Cider Tours 13:29 – Upcoming New York Cider Festival 15:31 – Featured Presentation: Clearing Cloudy Cider 24:01 – Observing Fermentation Activity 24:21 – Timing and Patience in Cider Making 24:54 – Understanding Racking Over 25:32 – Dealing with Stuck Fermentation 26:59 – Secondary Fermentation Indicators 27:47 – Preparing for Racking Over 29:13 – Racking Over Process 30:49 – Using Sulfites and Equipment 35:32 – Handling Head Space and Lees 38:38 – Final Tips and Bottling 42:43 – Supporters and Closing Remarks Why Secondary Fermentation Matters Secondary fermentation helps your cider: Improve the overall quality and characteristics of the final product during secondary fermentation by; Clarify: After the vigorous primary fermentation phase, yeast, pulp, and particulate matter settle out. Giving the cider time in secondary creates that clean, bright look in the glass. Stabilize: Letting the cider relax in a less active fermentation state helps smooth out rough edges and reduces the risk of funky off-character flavors. Reduce Bottle Sediment: Most of the lees settle in the secondary fermenter — not in your final bottles — giving you a cleaner, professional-looking cider. Avoid Off-Flavors: Yeast that sits too long on the lees can break down (autolyze) and create harsh, unpleasant aromas. Racking to secondary moves the cider off that yeast layer and protects the finished profile.. Secondary fermentation is a crucial step for refining cider, enhancing its clarity, taste, and stability before it is consumed or sold. Past Cider Making Episodes 381 DIY Cider Making for Beginners 382 Beginner Tips for Squeaky Clean Cider Equipment 384 Beginner Cider Making Tips forPrimary Fermentation  When to Transfer to Secondary Primary fermentation must be substantially complete.

Gravity Readings: Use a hydrometer or refractometer to take consecutive gravity readings over a few days. When readings are consistent, it suggests that fermentation has slowed down enough for secondary transfer. Visual Clues: Look for a drop in the level of visible activity, such as the reduction of bubbles and the beginning of sediment formation at the bottom of the primary fermenter. Taste Test: Conduct a taste test for residual sweetness. If the cider is too sweet, it may need more time in primary fermentation unless the desired style of cider is sweet rather than dry. Timeframe Guidance: Generally, primary fermentation can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks, depending on factors like temperature, yeast strain, and original sugar content. Avoiding Off-Flavors: Transfer before the cider has sat too long on the lees at the bottom of the carboy to prevent off-flavors that can result from yeast autolysis. Specific Style Goals: Factor in the specific goals for the cider's style, as some styles may benefit from a longer or shorter primary fermentation before secondary. Equipment Availability: Ensure that the secondary fermentation vessel is prepared and sanitized before deciding on the transfer to avoid any delays once the cider is ready. Common Problems during Secondary Ferment Stalled Fermentation – Adjust fermentation temperature to optimal range. Excessive Oxidation – Minimize headspace and avoid splashing when transferring. Contamination – Practice stringent sanitation and possibly discard contaminated batch. Sulfite Burn – Allow time for dissipation or use activated carbon treatment. Insufficient Carbonation – Verify yeast viability and sugar availability; maintain proper bottle conditioning temperature. Sediment in Bottles – Allow full clearing in secondary, use fining agents, and bottle carefully. Unexpected Flavor Changes – Allow time for maturation or blend with another batch. Pressure Build-up in Containers – Use an airlock or periodically vent the container. Cider Becomes Too Dry – Monitor gravity to stop fermentation at desired sweetness or back-sweeten with non-fermentable sweeteners.

A new episode of Money Wise this week dives into a record-setting week on Wall Street, where all three major indexes pushed higher despite political gridlock in Washington - wiith the Dow, S&P 500, and NASDAQ all closing at new all-time highs. Despite the government shutdown stretching toward record length, the markets showed little concern, illustrating that investors remain focused on earnings and fundamentals rather than politics. The conversation turns to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which came in slightly cooler month over month, reaffirming hopes that inflation continues to trend in the right direction. The Money Wise guys debate whether the Federal Reserve's long-standing 2% inflation target is still realistic, pointing out that historical averages suggest 3% may be a more natural long-term level. They also examine continued challenges in housing, where higher mortgage rates and nervous buyers have led to slower activity, but emphasize that overall consumer sentiment remains surprisingly resilient. The guys also tease an upcoming discussion on gold's rapid rise and why investors should approach the “shiny metal” with caution despite its strong recent performance. A Goldilocks Market  A “Goldilocks market” describes an economy that's not too hot and not too cold, one where growth is steady, inflation is manageable, and the Federal Reserve isn't under pressure to raise or cut interest rates dramatically. This balance creates an environment that's often ideal for investors, as companies can grow earnings without the headwinds of high borrowing costs or runaway inflation. In weeks like this, when market data comes in “just right,” it reassures investors that the economy remains stable, supporting confidence and momentum in both stocks and broader market sentiment.

KCSU music director Ria sat down with Jared Swilley of Black Lips ahead of their Dever show at the Mission Ballroom on October 28th, 2025. On this tour the band is supporting Viagra Boys whilst performing songs from their latest album “Season of the Peach”. The two discuss the excitement of touring, the juxtaposition of telling intense stories with a lighthearted sound, and how aliens might react to bird sounds.Ria JanapatiWe are here at the Mission Ballroom, October 2[7]th, [2025]. You are Jared of the Black Lips-Jared SwilleyJared, and you are?Ria  I am Ria, Music Director of KCSU; I've got some questions. Jared  Cool. Ria  First one being: You've been doing this music thing for a hot minute now, are there things about being on the road specifically that change for you excitement level wise? Jared  Oh sure, yeah. There's a different, like, excitement level. I've been touring since I was 16. We drove- the first like US tour we ever did was pretty miserable, but it was still the funnest thing; like, by my standards today, it would be pretty miserable, but I remember  seeing the desert for the first time, and that's like, that excitement- I can remember the excitement I felt, like, the first time I saw a cactus. But like, now, you know, I slept on a pretty drive today because I've seen a lot of that stuff. So that changes. I still love being on stage and stuff. But yeah, I mean, just like, anything you do forever, things get boring. Ria  Are there any cities that you visited a first time and you, like, couldn't wait to go back? Or maybe the opposite, you were really excited, but it wasn't your fav. Jared  Oh, I won't mention any cities I didn't like, because I figure it's best not to say negative things about people or places. But there's... like, yeah, a lot of cities. I mean, talk about [the] excitement of being someplace. I remember the feeling of the first time we went to Europe to play; I couldn't believe it, like, because it was, it felt really cool. And I wanted to go back to all those cities, and I have been back to pretty much all of them. Or, like, you know, like Tokyo, like going there, I was like, "I have to come back here. It's awesome." So most, most places I would like, I, you know, there's, there's very few places I'd be like, “I never want to go there again.” So, yeah, I like most places.Ria  I've seen that you guys have come to be known for pulling some antics during live shows, especially more in the DIY spaces. Has there been anything you've really wanted to do during a live show that would just be like a fun little act that no one saw coming? Jared  There is one that we've been talking about doing... because we've done, like, all sorts of crazy stuff, and we're, like, older now, so I'm not trying to, like, make anyone upset anymore, like, do anything crazy. But like, have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz? Ria  Absolutely. Jared  So you know, like, when the Munchkins, like those guys come out as, like, the lollipop... the old guys? We want to- I guess I'm spilling the beans here, but it'll surprise people when we do it. But like, we kind of, like… We have this song that's about eating candy on our new record, and we want to just like, stop in the middle, hopefully, at a really huge show, like something like this [Mission Ballroom], or at a big festival, and, like, drop our instruments and go into the lollipop guild dance and then just start playing again. That's kind of like what we want to do.Ria  Nice. A little surprise, a little dance break. Jared  YeahRia  Yeah, awesome. You just have to get the choreography down. Jared  Yeah.Ria  And then your newest album, Season of the Peach, I noticed it takes on a lot of different genre influences. There's some rockabilly sound, there's some 60s stuff, some folk stuff going on, just all over the place. So when you're taking inspiration to create something new like that, where do you find yourself looking?Jared  I'm always looking in the past, and that's just for me. Fortunately, in this band, like all five members [contribute equally], right? So that's why it can kind of seem like it's all over the place, like musically. But, I mean, I only listen to, like, very old music, so that's kind of really what I'm pulling from; I listen to, like, old country and doo-wop and rockabilly and blues and stuff like that, so that's usually... I'm just trying to recreate stuff in a kind of, like, not as good way as the stuff I really like.Ria  Back on your 2020 album, there's a song called "Angola Rodeo", and that song really interested me in the storytelling of it. It seemed like a bit of a silly take on, like, real life events. So-Jared  YeahRia  When you're going about doing that. Where do you draw the line between like, not taking yourself too seriously?Jared  Well, you want to like, not like... or at least with me, I want to be like, if I'm talking about something very serious, and that's a very serious thing... Do you know the story of, like, the Angola rodeo? Ria  Yeah, it's a prison rodeo.Jared  Yeah, prison rodeo, and we actually went to it. I'd always wanted to go, and we went, and it's like, you know, it's pretty controversial. I happen to be in favor of it, just because it's like, if you're doing life in prison, or if you're on death row, like, it's the best day of your life when you get to do... They actually do it for like, a few months of the year. But you know, you don't want to be too preachy or too sappy, so you got to have your tongue firmly in cheek. My theory has always been, if you have, like, a really sad subject matter, make it a very poppy sounding song. And if you have really happy sounding stuff, it should be like, darker. That's kind of like how I like to do things. Ria  Yeah, just flip them on their head. Jared  And it's still, like... The lyrics are still like, kind of serious; but it's like a fun kind of sounding song. But you know, the Angola Prison is, like, one of the darkest places in the United States. It's pretty rough there.Ria  I just thought that was really interesting, because on a first listen, if you're not really paying attention, it'll just be like, "Oh, this is a fun little tune-Jared  There is, like, a big, like, stark contrast when you go to that rodeo, because you are in this just incredibly dark place. You drive in and you see death row, and you see the fields they're all working in, but then you go in there, and it's like, a really happy environment; like the prisoners... It's like, all guys on best behavior, but they've been working; like, they sell their arts and crafts that day. Their families are allowed to come in. They can actually have like, conjugal visits with their family in there. So it's like, it's super dark, ...

What is a Fiduciary Advisor and Why It Matters, #277

With the term "financial advisor" being used so broadly these days, it's harder than ever for retirees and investors to make sense of who's actually guaranteed to act in their best interest. So let's talk about the key responsibilities of fiduciaries, explore the differences between fee-only advisors and those who earn commissions, and go through why full disclosure and ongoing advice matter so much in your financial planning relationship. I share practical tips on how to vet potential advisors, whether you're unhappy with your current one or searching for the right fit for the first time, and discuss online resources designed to help you find an aligned, trustworthy professional. If you want to make sure your advisor is truly putting your interests first, this episode is for you. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] What is a Fiduciary Advisor? [04:59] Fiduciary duty in financial advice. [10:14] Advisor compensation and fiduciary conflicts. [13:16] Financial advisor versus Fiduciary. [14:41] Choosing your Fiduciary Advisor. [16:22] How to find a potential Fiduciary Advisor. What Is a Fiduciary and Why Should You Care? A fiduciary is someone who is legally and ethically bound to act in your best interest. Professions such as attorneys, executors, and corporate officers have fiduciary obligations, but in wealth management and investing, this distinction is particularly critical. Registered investment advisory firms (RIA) and their representatives are fiduciary advisors, meaning their primary responsibility is you, the client, unlike brokers or insurance agents, whose loyalty is often to their employer. Because anyone can call themselves a "financial advisor," the consumer's challenge is identifying who's truly working for you. How Fiduciary Financial Advisors Serve You 1. Duty of Care A fiduciary advisor must always put your interests first, providing recommendations and advice tailored for your benefit. This doesn't automatically mean recommending the cheapest investment, it means recommending the most appropriate solution, factoring in cost, liquidity, and other key details. If an advisor recommends their own firm's products, this must be clearly disclosed due to the potential conflict of interest. 2. Duty to Seek Best Execution When managing your investments, a fiduciary is responsible for choosing brokers and executing trades with your best interest in mind. It's not just about low commissions; it's about balancing price, research, reliability, and responsiveness. 3. Ongoing Advice and Monitoring A true fiduciary doesn't just sell you a product and disappear. They provide continuous advice, meet with you regularly, ideally at least annually or semi-annually, and adjust your strategy as your life and goals change. If you haven't heard from your advisor in years, they're likely not fulfilling their obligations. 4. Duty of Loyalty Advisors must actively avoid or disclose any conflicts of interest. Vague, general disclosures aren't enough; specifics matter so you can make informed decisions. For example, any financial benefit your advisor receives from recommending a particular fund or insurance policy should be clear and transparent. How Fiduciary Advisors Get Paid and Why It Matters Fiduciary RIAs typically avoid commissions and instead rely on three main payment models: Hourly Fees: You pay for the advisor's time, just as you would an attorney. Flat Fees: One-time fees for specific services, like a comprehensive financial plan. Assets Under Management (AUM): The most common method; you pay a percentage of the assets the advisor manages for you (often around 1% annually). The aim is to remove any incentive for the advisor to recommend products based on compensation rather than your best interest. Financial Advisor vs. Fiduciary: Spotting the Difference Many professionals use the title "financial advisor," whether they are fiduciaries or not. The real question to ask: Are you a fee-only advisor? Fee-only advisors are paid solely by the fees their clients pay, not commissions or kickbacks from financial products. To do your own research, use the online tools I recommend to verify credentials, licenses, and complaint histories. Also think about asking your advisor to sign a fiduciary oath, confirming their commitment to act solely in your interest. A fiduciary promises ongoing advice, transparency, and loyalty, values that matter when your future is at stake. Remember: Ask questions, verify credentials, and always ensure your advisor is truly working in your best interest.

I have a second video coming to you from my dear friend and colleague in Chicago, Humboldt Park area, a faith leader there that collaborates with the different faith communities in the area. And she's going to talk about some ways she's personally affected by what's happening by the invasion there and how you can think about things, how you might get involved. I hope you'll join me in this conversation and honor yourself. Stay curious, honor, humanity, get involved. Take collective action. Talk to your own neighbor. Let's start caring really well for one another.Oh wow. Sandra, you know me. This is Jenny McGrath. This is my colleague. She's a bible nut. She wrote out the Bible How many times?Like scripture nut and a researcher, a therapist and purity culture, kind of like Survivor, but did a lot of work with women around that. And we talk a lot about race and current events. And I restarted my podcast and I asked Jenny if she'd want to join me. She has a great love for justice and humans and making a difference. So that's kind of how Jenny joined up with me. Right. Anything else you want to say?Sandra, I saw your post on social media and I was like, I could do that. I could contribute to that. And so that's what I'm here to do. Want to hear about your experience. What does resilience look like for you all over there? What do you need from us? How can we be a part of what's happening in Chicago from wherever we are? And if there's practical needs or things you want to share here, we can also send those out.Yeah. Can you tell us a little bit about who you are, what you do, where you're located in Chicago, and just a little bit even about your family, if you're willing?Sandra (01:40):Yeah, sure. So it's great to be with you guys. I'm Sandra Van Opal and I'm here on the west side of Chicago in a neighborhood called Humble Park. It's if you see in the news with all that's happening, it's the humble Hermosa, Avondale kind of zone of the ice crackdown. Well, let's not call it a crackdown. The ice invasion(02:06):Here in Chicago. I am the daughter of immigrants, so my mom is from Columbia. My father was from Argentina. They came to live in Chicago when they were in their twenties and thirties. They met in English class, so they were taking TOEFL exams, which is an exam you take in order to enter into college and schooling here in the US to show your language proficiency. And so they met learning English and the rest is history. I grew up here. I've lived here my whole life. I'm raising my family here. I'm married. I have two kids that just turned 11, so they're in fifth grade and sixth grade. And the school that they go to is a primarily immigrant school immersion, Spanish immersion. So it's a school where you take classes basically 90% in Spanish when you start and you move every year a little bit more English until you graduate when you're 50 50.(03:03):And so the school context they've been in has been receiving a lot of new neighbors, a lot of new classmates. And for that reason, actually most of their classes are still almost fully in Spanish, so they should probably be 60 40 right now. But I think a lot of their curriculum is still in Spanish, or the children have the option of having the math book in Spanish or English if they want it. If they're supposed to be English Spanish, or sorry, English math this year, then they might choose to have a Spanish book even if the instruction is in English. So that's the context I live in. I am here. I live in a home. I have chickens and a garden, and I love to be outside watching my neighbors and connecting with people. And we have a black club in our community, so a lot of our information that we're sharing with each other is through our email list and our signal group. Yeah. Oh, also what I do, I run an organization called Chasing Justice, which is focused on the intersection of faith and making the world a better place. And I am a local pastor and author on issues of worship and justice. So that's my function in this world.Danielle (04:31):I think we talk about what's happening in one sense, it seems like social media and other ways like Zoom, we're on a screen with Zoom and we're all in three different locations right now. We think of ourselves as really connected. But then when tragedy strikes or trauma or an invasion, for instance, strikes, we're connected, but it seems like we're also disconnected from one another and the practical needs and storytelling on the ground, and what does resilience look like for one person versus another? Or what does survival versus thriving look like for one person versus another? And how do we kind of join together and form a collective bond in that? I've been thinking a lot about that after I read your post Sandra on Instagram and what does that mean for me? And just as I'm talking, what does that mean for you or what are thoughts that come to mind for you?Sandra (05:27):Yeah, I am think I remember what posts you're referring to, but I think part of it is whenever something happens in our world, I believe that because of the highly digitally connected world that we're in, it feels like we are all supposed to say something. That's how we respond. Something happens and we all go, that's not right, which I think is good, we should say that, but I think the frustration, I'm sure people in LA and DC felt that, but it's like something is happening in your real life every day to your neighbors and everybody all around the country is commenting on it and commenting with such confidence and commenting with such expertise, and you're like, wait a minute. That's not how I would say that. And I think the reason that maybe that post came up for me as a kind of, it was less frustration and more sorrow, I think it felt more, more sorrow that the people that are most impacted by the issues are not the ones that are given the voice to talk about how those systems of oppression are impacting them. And I think the reason I think about things like that is I remember when I first started pastoring locally here. I mean, I had been working for a parachurch organization doing national and international work. I really felt like it was time for me to become a local pastor to understand, hey, if I'm going to be writing to pastors and speaking to pastors and challenging pastors, I should probably know what it's like to be one. And so I was supposed to be a five year stint, which ended up being 12 years pastoring locally.(07:08):And in my discussions with my staff team, I would often have one of them very respectfully, I was the executive pastors in a community with hierarchy. So they would very respectfully say, Hey, your friends that are out there blogging and writing articles and books, they're talking about stuff in ways we would never talk about it. They're talking about it in a tone that we would never use to talk about our situation and with words we would never use to describe our situation. And it's not that my friends maybe didn't have a perspective, it's that it didn't reflect their perspective. And so I think I became very sensitive to that, paying attention to, oh, how do expert justice people talk about issues of justice versus the people that are most impacted by those issues of injustice? Or how do people from within a community express their journey in ways that maybe even have a different tone than mostly anger that was coming out from the justice space?(08:10):And they're like, we wouldn't say it that way. We wouldn't talk about it that way. So I think because of that, it's really important when something happens in a local space and it is impacting us all nationally, national news, that we ask the question, how can I hear the voices of the people that this is most impacting? And so that's why I think I wrote that post. I was like, A lot of y'all have a lot to say about Chicago who don't live here and thank you, but no thank you. Invite us to talk for ourselves, invite us to speak for ourselves because there are local pastors and priests and imams and mental health providers who are experiencing this in a very real way that they probably could shed some light on what would be helpful to us. I called a bunch of friends in Los Angeles when things were happening there, and I was like, oh, how are you guys doing?(09:05):What's really happening? How can we help? If you don't have time to reply back, just know that I'm here praying for you, and I'm like with you and I'm sending money to the orgs. I see you posting and don't know what else to do. Obviously, the ice raids are impacting all of us across the country, but they're impacting each city in very different ways. Each city is a very different city with a very different ethos and a way of handling things. And as you guys know, Chicago is the best. I'm so proud of us right now. I'm so proud of us. We're like, no, you can't talk to us like that. No, you can't have our streets. But it also gets us into trouble because it's rooted in our philosophy of community organizing, though the linsky method, which is agitation, agitation, agitation. So we have stuff to learn too. But that's what you're seeing in Chicago is a lot of agitation. But yeah, that's why I wrote it. I wrote it like, I know 20 community leaders you could talk to here in Chicago that would give you a good idea of what we're experiencing and what would be best for us if you wanted to come alongside of us and help in prayer. So yeah.Jenny (10:27):Yeah, I think just a sense of wanting to hear more, whatever you feel. Well, and whatever feels safe to share in this podcast setting of just what it has been like for you to be on the ground in the community that you're in, in the roles that you're in with the family you're in. I just find myself curious about your experience.Sandra (10:52):Yeah. Okay. So I think about this in three different areas. One is, how is this impacting me as a parent, the other in my family and connected to family members. The other one is how is this impacting me as a neighbor? And then the other is, how is this impacting me as a civic leader, as a faith leader here? And so the hardest one has actually been, as a parent, if I could be honest with you, it's really been hard. Those of us that have raised kids, especially younger children or well all children, they each have their own season of development. But raising kids and being a village for children right now I think is really hard. They've gone through lockdown, George Floyd protests, watching multiple genocides, a war in Ukraine, and now this locally. And I believe in talking to your kids about what's happening and talking to them about it in ways that is appropriate for their age. So that has changed for me since my children were five when the pandemic started and now they're 11. That has changed for me what that looks like.(12:32):But there are many families, dozens of families in their school that have not returned since the ice raids have started. Their friends are missing from class. Ice has repeatedly been around their school. Ice has been on our corner where we grocery shop, get tacos, go to therapy. My son asked me the other day, will they throw me on the ground? If they see me, will they throw me on the ground? And this is one of my sons already struggles a lot with anxiety and he has anxiety, and he's also a black child. And so he's already been processing being black in the context of law enforcement in our city and what's happened. And so I think he kind of went through that season and he's like, so will they throw me on the ground if they see me? And I'm like, no, buddy. They're not going to. Hopefully there's enough cameras around that they'll throw you on the ground.(13:42):And so I think trying to figure out how to answer those kinds of questions. How can we think about our friends? How can we pray for our friends? We've done a lot more prayer in the 15 minute commutes to and from school, I think just for very specific needs that our neighbors are going through. And neighbor that I live in close proximity to the other day was running an errand and was detained by ice and was let go on the spot in the parking lot of the Home Depot, but its someone our kids know really well and helping them to process that. Their friend, a neighbor has gone through this, I think requires a different set of parenting skills and I believe are in most parenting books.(14:48):And so I find myself almost, man, I wish there was a resource for that man. I wish there was a place to talk about that. Let me talk to my neighbor about how they talk to their kids about that. And for those of us that come from Latino cultures, we don't really talk about hard things a lot. We're not really taught to talk about them. It's like we endure them and we go through them, but we don't give them space for processing. And so both of my children are in therapy. I don't know what they talk about in therapy, probably girls and love interests and bullying and all the rest of the things that kids talk about, but I think they probably unpack some of what they're going through with their friends. They are also wanting to make a difference. So we're trying to figure out what does that look for them to make things good in the community they live in.(15:42):So that's the first area is parenting. I don't know if you guys have anything to add advice to give me on that, but I think the hardest thing for me is what do we do with our children? What do we do with a generation that is growing up, watching their government step over so many boundaries, doing things that are completely illegal or unethical or dangerous for our society and feeling like, Hey, we're living in a time, I know a lot of people posted the quote from Ann Frank talking about what was happening in their streets. And I'm like, yeah, my kids are watching that. And I don't know how they're processing it or where they see their faith in the midst of that. I mean, luckily we have an amazing church. We talk about stuff like that all the time. So I mean, yeah, the mayor goes to our church and the pastor's an amazing person, and we have lots of civic leaders and law enforcement in our church. So I think they're watching, they're able to have some mentorship in that area, I think because spoken about from the pulpit, but man, being little must be really hard right now.Danielle (17:09):Maybe we don't need to press too fast, even though we're in a podcast right now. I think it bears the weight of just a little bit of space to just hang with that comment. I have older kids than you. As recently, I told my 20-year-old son who we are not suffering yet, the street raids. For some reason, Seattle hasn't been the focus point yet, but he did lose his federal aid and his Pell grants and everything for college this year. And so him and a lot of other kids had a significant do have a significant college tuition to make up. And we were talking about it and I was like, well, this will be the normal for you. This will be what's normal. This will be what's normal for our family. And my husband actually stepped in and said to me in a moment of despair and lament, because my son wants to be a music teacher.(18:21):He said to me, he's like, but you always tell me nothing's impossible. We can figure it out. And I was like, yeah, I do say that, but I don't believe it right now. He is like, well, he's like, I believe it right now. So I don't know what it looks like to come up with an extra for us. It's an extra $6,000, so we don't have the money yet, but what does it look like? But I think it goes back to that sense of finding some balance with our kids of what's real, what's not giving. What I hear for you, Sandra, and I'm kind of fumbling through my words, so maybe Jenny can step in, but offering our kids the validation of their reality that's so important in age appropriate and the different steps we're in the validation of reality. But I also find myself searching and grasping for where's the hope? Where are the strands of faith for our family? Where are the strands of hope searching for? Like you said, what are the practical actions your boys can do that also kind of I think plant seeds and generate hope in their hearts when we can step out and do actions?Sandra (19:43):Yeah. No, I think the hard part is I can't promise them things will get better. I can't promise them there's going to be an end to genocide in Palestine. I can't promise them. I keep telling everyone, when we pray at night and we talk about our days and stuff, and I just tell 'em, we, my husband and I tell 'em, and the only thing we can promise you is that God is with us. And I think the reality is when you've had proximity to our global siblings, that suffering didn't just start two Octobers ago or even for our own families. The suffering as my African brother once told me at a conference, he said, what do you mean when we suffer? Life is suffering and suffering is life. Or if we suffer, someone said, yeah, if we suffer, it's like some pretty from the west if we suffer.(20:35):It's like no, life is suffering and suffering is life. So I think part of it is we have within our story as people who follow the Jesus way, we have a story of people who have really always suffered. The story of scripture is a story of marginalized, persecuted, displaced people that are wandering in a land looking for home. And in those stories, you find God's presence with them. You find the worship of their creator. You find moments of joy, rhythms of feasting and fasting. You find all the traditions we do now that come out of the story of the people. So I can tell them, baby, I can only promise you that God is with us the same way that God was with, we go through the stories and the same way that God has always been with the black church in America, the same way that God has always been with our Latino community, the same way that God is with our siblings in Gaza, God is with us.(21:35):And so it doesn't take the pain away, but we can know that God is there. I try to teach my kids, lemme tell you, this is so bad parenting. Sorry, you can cut this out if you need to. But the other day we were praying for our country and I said, God, I just pray. Pray for Trump. I pray God, either you would change his heart or you would help him to go to sleep and just not wake up tomorrow. And then my son was like, I can't believe you prayed that prayer. Mom, I can't believe you said that. That's such a bad prayer. I was like, have you read the Psalms?(22:12):I was like, tonight, let's read a psalm. I'm going to read to you what David prayed for his enemies. And just because the Bible calls us to love our enemies and to see them as human does not mean we cannot pray that they will fall asleep. And so I said, I'm not saying I'm going to do anything bad. I know my phone's listening to me right now. I'm not saying I'm going to take matters into my own hands. I'm just saying I wouldn't be sad. That's all. And he's like, he just could not get over it because, and he just kept digging. Papa, Papa would never pray a prayer like that. He would never, I said, Papa hasn't read the Psalms. I read the Psalms. I know exactly what the Psalms say. And I was like, and the thing is because God is for good, because God is against evil and because God knows my heart, he knows God knows how much I love him, and I'm asking him to please take this evil away from our neighborhood.(23:04):Please take this evil away from our country. Please take this evil away. We're living in evil times, Terry. These are bad times. And this is not only a bad person. This is somebody that's raising up all of the badness to be allowed. And so I'm going to pray that prayer every day. And I know that you think it's not good, and I'm so sorry, but tonight we'll read the Psalms. Then that night we read some Psalms. I was like, see what David prays for his enemy. I said, and the thing is, God is there with us in our prayers. He's not like, what? I can't believe she cussed. I can't believe she said that bad. I can't believe she want to be friends with this guy that's too evil. And so I think part of it's processing faith with them. It's like, I don't know what kind of, let's just talk about Jesus and what he said. Let's talk about what the Bible models for us and prayer. Let's talk about It's okay to be mad. It's okay. It's okay to want evil to end. It doesn't mean we take things into our own hands, but it's okay to want the evil to end. And so those are the kinds of conversations where I go home, I'm like, okay, let me just look at my stuff. Is that wrong? Is that theologically correct? I called my husband. Do you think this is theologically okay? Am I mal forming our children? But I feel like it's an okay prayer, isn't it an okay prayer? Those are the kinds of things that are happening. I don't know,Jenny (24:37):I mean, I am not a theologian, but I think it's an okay prayer to pray. And I'm just thinking about, I've had two thoughts going through my mind, and one of course I couldn't and wouldn't want to put on some type of silver lining and be like, kids are going to be fine. They're resilient. And something that we say in the somatic trauma world a lot is that trauma isn't about an event. It's often about not having a safe place to go in the midst of or after an event. And what I just keep hearing is you making yourself available to be a safe place for your kids to process and reimagine what moving through this moment looks like. And also holding that in families that are being torn apart, that don't have those safe places to go in this moment. And I think part of what we're experiencing is this term, the boomerang of imperialism, as you said, these are not new things happening to families all over the world. And the ricochet of how we are now experiencing that in the heart of the empire, where I find my sense of hope is that that is the sign that the snake is eating its head and it will collapse. And I believe in rebirth and regrowth and hope that we can create a world that is different than a world that builds empires that do this to families. And as where my mind goes.Sandra (26:39):Yeah. And I think for ourselves, for our children, for in the work that I do with chasing justice with activists, it's like the only thing I can do, I'm not going to be able to change the world. The only thing I can do is change the little world that I'm in. So what can I do to make a difference and make things good in the world that I'm in? And so it boils down to very, very practical, tangible, embodied unfancy. Things like calling your neighbors and checking in on them to see if they need you to take their kids to school, finding out if everybody got home, okay. When there was a raid in a particular area, asking, or not even asking, but dropping food off for people and saying, Hey, we made a grocery room. We just thought we'd pick up some essentials for everybody.(27:27):Because part of it too is how do you do that without asking your, how do you help your neighbor without asking your neighbor their status? And that's not appropriate. And how do you help your neighbor without assuming they don't have money or making them feel like some kind of project? And so I think part of it is figuring out how to practice mutual aid in ways that are communal that just says, Hey, we picked up this. We figured this week we'd drop it off to five different families, and next week we'll do five other families. Who knows if they need it or not, but at least they know you're thinking of them. I think something you said about trauma, which I think is really important when you work in communities where you have communal, collective, complex generational trauma, which is we're just always living in this.(28:19):I have status, so I don't worry about leaving my home. I also am white. I'm a white Latina, so I'm not like, well, maybe they'll pull me over. Well, I don't know. But I know if I was browner my other family members that would definitely be like, please carry a copy of your passport and your ID at all times. But now I don't leave the house without, I used to leave the house with my keys and my phone, maybe a wallet. I don't know where a wallet is. Now I'm like, oh, I better have my ID on me(28:48):Mostly because if I intervene, I'm afraid if I get arrested, I won't have ID on me. But I think about all the ways that you have to leave the house differently now. And this is for people that they already felt vulnerable in their TPS, in their temporary protective status status or in their undocumented status or in their green card holder status or whatever status they had, that they already felt vulnerable in some way. And now if they don't go to work, their family doesn't eat, so they leave the house. But how do they leave the house? If you go to school every day and you're wondering if your parents are going to pick you up because now you're aware you have this emergency family plan, what does that feel like day in and day out, decade after decade to feel vulnerable? That kind of trauma is something I don't understand in my body, though I understand it as a concept.(29:47):It's the trauma of feeling vulnerable at all times of sending your kids out into the world. And because our US Supreme Court and because our government has decided it's okay to racially profile people, so I keep telling my mom, you better not be speaking Spanish at Target. She's bilingual. I'm like, please do not speak Spanish at Target. Do not open your mouth. And I would never have said that ever in the past, super proud of being a Latina and being bilingual, but I'm scared for my mom. And so I'm checking in on family members who have vulnerable status. I'm trying to find out if everybody's okay. So I think there are, it's like I told my husband the other day, and the car was like, can you imagine having this kind of fear day in and day out for decades at a time in a country and building a life?(30:44):And all of a sudden, many of our DACA recipients or young undocumented folks that are in college, all of a sudden they're not going to finish their degree. They're now in a country they don't even know. They didn't grow up there in a language they don't understand or their spouse is missing. And now they don't know if they're in Swatee, they don't know if they're in Mexico. They don't know where they are. And so I think that, I don't know that I fully understand what to do about that as a neighbor or as a pastor, but to say there must be something within the community like some gift or strength or accessing that helps them endure that kind of trauma when they cannot reach out for help.(31:44):My brother also told me the other day, he's an ER doctor. He's like, man, the county ER is so empty right now because people go to the county hospital for services when they don't have insurance. And many, many of them are Asian, south Asian, Latino, and African immigrants, and now they're not going or Ukrainian or Russian or whatever. So now it's emptiness and churches. Some of our churches are used to be 300 people now. There's like 40 people on a Sunday. So the reporting that I'm hearing from, whether it's the hospitals or just the stores, if you drive down our street, it's like empty nest. It is never empty. There's always people walking around on the street, whole family is going grocery shopping now. There's just nobody out. It's like a ghost town. Nobody's leaving unless they have to leave. And so it changes the feel of a community. It changes the environment. People that need access to healthcare aren't going for their follow-up appointments or their treatments because they're afraid to go to the hospital. People that would normally go to law enforcement if there's domestic violence or something happening, which already would feel very, very difficult to do, are unwilling to do it because they're afraid to leave and afraid to report to any law enforcement. Even in a sanctuary city.(33:18):I don't know what's happening to these families that aren't going to school. I'm assuming that the school has some kind of e-learning doing for them or some kind of packets they're making for the kids in the meantime while they're missing school. But there's all these things that daily rhythms of life that aren't happening. And so for many of us are like, I don't feel like going to church today. Oh, well, I feel like I'm many Sundays. I don't feel like going to church for other people, the privilege of attending worship in a congregational setting is something they'd love to have that they just can't access anymore. And so there's all these things that have changed about our daily reality that I don't know if we're going to fully understand how that's impacted us until years from now. We just don't see an end to it. We're not sure when this is going to end.Danielle (34:13):I have a flurry of thoughts going through my mind as you're speaking. One is when I did a consult with my analyst that I consult with, and we were talking about anxiety around different things with clients, and she was like, well, that's not anxiety, that's terror. And this person should feel terror because that's the reality.(34:45):That's not a pathology. So that's number one just in the therapy world, we don't want to pathologize people for feeling this terror in their bodies when that's actually the appropriate response. When immigration is sitting outside on your street, you should feel terror. Your body's giving you the appropriate warning signal. So I think about just even the shortcomings of Western psychological frameworks to address what's happening. We can't pathologize. It's not about prescribing enough medication. It's not about that. I do think you're right. I think there's some sense of, I've even felt it in my own body as you talk, a sense of, I'm going to engage what Sandra's saying and I'm also going to separate myself just enough in case that happens in Seattle so I can be just distant enough. So I got to get up, I got to eat. I got to feed my kids, I got to make sure everything's happening, got to go to work.(35:40):So I can almost feel it happening. As you describe it, we call it dissociation in psychology world, but in my analyst world, she would call it a psychic retreat, which I really like. Your psyche is kind of in a battle. You might come back from the front line to preserve yourself. And that's kind of how I think of the collective mentality a bit come back from the front lines in certain ways. So you could preserve, I need to eat, I need to sleep, I need to drink some water. I need to breathe air. So that's one thing I'm thinking about that's maybe collectively happening on multiple levels. The other thing I'm thinking about is if you're listening to this and you're in a body, even mine, a same as you, like a light-skinned Latina, white Latina, and our family has a lot of mixed identities and statuses, but if you're not in one of these situations, you can help mental health by going out and getting shit done.Sandra (36:50):Yes, absolutely. Get it done, get it done, get it done. It's like show up, put yourself. I think that's half the battle is how do we show up in spaces? I think white folks have to ask themselves. That's why all the protests, it's like, yes, it's diverse, but it's a whole lot of white people.The reason is because a lot of black folks, brown folks, vulnerable folks, we're not going to put ourselves in a position where we can have an encounter with law enforcement. So one of the things I have to say, talking about church, one of the things our pastor said the Sunday before, not the No Kings, but the immigration protest, it was like maybe a month ago, he said, listen, some of us should not be at that protest because we have a record, because we are prone to be maybe, what is it called? Oh my gosh, we're prone to be singled out by the police. We should not be there. We should pray. We should stay at home. We should host people when they come back and feed them. We should not be there. Others of us, we should be there. And you know who you are.(37:55):And so I think that's part of the discernment, which I think that's literally, it's half the conversations I'm having with people is should my children go to this protest? I fully intended to go to the No Kings protest with my full family, all of us. And I also saw these amazing alternatives like a rally for families and children. And so all these parks all over the city of Chicago, which again, were an amazing city, they had all these alternatives for if your child, someone in your family does not do crowds well, right? You're immunocompromised or you have anxiety, or I thought about, oh, maybe we shouldn't take my son to this protest. Maybe he's going to actually get an anxiety attack. Maybe we should go to this. So we had all those options till the very last minute we're decided to go to Kids Rally, but there were options for us to show up.(38:43):So when you can show up, show up if your neighborhood, there's a ton of activities in, I hope other cities are doing this too, but they're packing these little zines and these little whistles and they're telling people what to do. It's like, okay, now there's this Instagram blast about, oh, the ice is over here, and everyone shows up in their cars and they all honk their horn. You can show up in a neighborhood, honk your horn, you can blow a whistle. And we're fully intending to give away free whistles for every person that buys. The people are not a legal t-shirt for chasing justice. We're like, have a whistle. Get ready. If anything, even if you never blow that whistle, no ice in your town, you're trying to show people that I'm prepared. I'm prepared to raise my voice for you. I'm prepared to show up for you.(39:34):And so it ends up being maybe an artifact or a symbol of our willingness to ally if the time should come. But yeah, some of us, we have more privilege and showing up because I definitely have two lawyers in my speed dial right now because my husband knows that I'm prone to show up in spaces and say things that maybe will get me in trouble. So we had a meeting with a lawyer three weeks ago. He's like, please tell me what to do if my wife gets arrested or if something happens to a neighbor or he's just prepared our community block club emails and texts and signal threads. We have rapid response ready things that are rapid response. So it's like, Hey, where do you see something? I see this is the license plate. Here's a video. I saw just even informing people and praying alongside of one another.(40:29):So we have this group of pastors we gather called Pastors Rabbis and Imams called Faith Over Fear. And so in this group, someone posted like, look at Ice was heavily in our neighborhood. They said arrests that were made or the people that were detained. This is the situation, let people know. So we're just letting people know this is what's happening. Teaching people to use their phones to record everything and anything they can always being ready to show up. So I'm the type of neighbor that would anyway, if I would see law enforcement pulling over a young black or brown man, I would pull the car over and I would get out of my car and I would say, hi, I am Reverend Sandra and I'm here. I live down the street. I'm wondering if everything's okay. Here is everything. And the reason is just to show them that I'm watching. They said, no, everything's fine. I said, okay, I'm just going to sit in my car. Let me know if you need something because I'm letting them know that I'm watching.(41:37):And so I think part of it is the accountability of a community. And I love to see the walking school buses, the ride shares that parents are doing the grocery dropoffs because you can't stand in the food pantry line anymore. The GoFundMe's for particular legal fees, the trying to utilize your networks to find out if you can figure out what district or what holding location you, your loved one would be in offering mental health services. Like, Hey, here are the three organizations that do group therapy or circles or there's going to be a meditation and yoga thing offered at this center. A lot of them have a lot of embodied practices too. So I think those things are great. But yeah, we still have to, we're still living life. We're still submitting book reports for school, we're still having birthday parties and christenings, we're we still black and brown communities have been living through trauma for so long, they can't stop living.(42:53):So the question is how do we invite one another to more wholeness in our living, within our own communities, and then how do we help one another? This is affecting everybody. It's affecting not only Latino communities and not only Asian immigrant communities, but it's also affecting black communities because there's more enforcement and they're not more law enforcement and they're not necessarily targeting black communities, but where there are brown communities, sometimes there are black folks also. And so it's impacting them in just the militarization of our city. I mean, everywhere you go, there's just people marching with weapons and it could be Michigan Avenue in the shopping area downtown near the Bean, or it could be in our communities. And so I think how people are trying to, I think a city like Chicago, because it's got such a rich tradition of community organizing and community development and advocacy, I think it's very set up for what can I do in my world for my neighbors?(44:08):And then for those of you that aren't in Chicago, I think knowing which organizations are doing fantastic things, I think that's really helpful. Within the faith and justice space, I think organizations like New Life Centers that are kind of spearheading some of the new neighbors initiatives already, but they're doing this whole care system for, they're already new neighbors from Venezuela, Ecuador, and Central America who are now more vulnerable. And so they have systems in place for that. There are organizations live free Illinois who are doing more of the advocacy, raising awareness stuff. I can give you a couple, I can put in the show notes, but I think there's organizations that are doing fantastic work. Some people are just, I have a friend who's in Houston who's just like, there's a refugee family who's vulnerable right now and I need to take them groceries. Who wants to give Venmo?(45:06):Me? I think you have to trust your friends aren't going to go out for a nice rooftop beverage and 300, $400 later. Then there's groceries for this. So it's like you may not know anyone, but you may know someone who knows someone who's vulnerable. And so maybe you just are giving money to, or maybe you, I've had people send me money and be like, Hey, maybe someone who needs something. And I'm like, great. And we little, we put it cash and we put it in our car and when we need it, we help a neighbor who's in need. I think I'm calling our friends to, another one I thought of was calling our friend, inviting our friends to action. So sometimes I don't think it's that we don't want to do anything or that we're unwilling to do something. It's that we just feel so stunned. So that news that came out this week in Houston about the 15-year-old autistic boy who was taken by ICE and who has the capacity of a 4-year-old, and I was thinking about him all day long. So I just started pinging all of my friends in Houston and Austin and Dallas. I was like, anybody in Texas? I have a lot of friends in Texas. I'm like, not just, Hey Texas, do something directly. Sending it to them and saying, what have you done?(46:28):Is there a number you can call? Can you gather your small group? They're always asking, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to, I'm like, so I was like, I have something for you to do, and it's in Texas. I'm like, do you know what's happened to this kid? Is he back at home? Can you do something? Is there a GoFundMe for the parents? So I think when we're activated in small things, we develop the discipline of just being activated in general. So it's like if there's a thing that somebody invites you to give to and you give to it, then you get into the practice of giving.(47:06):If you don't start well, then where is it going to happen? So we're thinking right now, I dunno about you guys, but there's nothing in me that wants to do anything fancy right now. I rest for sure. We went to Michigan, we walked around, we took hikes. It was great. It was super free because we stayed with a friend. But there's nothing in me that's like, let me just plan a fancy vacation right now. It's not in me. And I think part of it is, it's almost like a detoxing from an American consumeristic way of seeing celebration and rests. I don't need fancy things to have rest. I don't need, doesn't have to be expensive. I don't know who came up with this. And I think it's a sensibility in us right now, and I've talked to a couple of friends about it, but it's like it's a sensibility in us that feels like it's really tone deaf to start spending a whole lot of money right now when there are so many needs in the world. And no, we can't give away our whole salaries, but we might be able to give more. For example, I don't think our friend should be saying, Hey, my son can't go to college this year. He needs $6,000. I think somebody in our friend groups could be like, actually, I am getting a bonus of $12,000. I'm going to give you three. We should be able to do that for those of us that have access.(48:27):And there are many people who have access, many other people who think they don't have money, but they do. And I think if we invite each other to say, Hey, I want to give to this person's legal fees, or I want to give to this person's college fund, or I want to give to will you give with me? And we are practicing then the kind of mutual aid that's collective that I know our grandparents did for the Latino culture, it's like the RIA system where y'all put the money in every month and every Monday the month. So it's like Koreans do it too. It's like everybody gives a hundred dollars a month and all goes into this pile and every month that pile of money moves around. So it's like our way of providing, I think there's a lot more we could be doing with our money that would give integrity to our voice. And I see a lot of talking and not a lot of sharing.Danielle (49:34):It's so true. It's a lot of talking and it's like, I think we have to get over that old white supremacy norm. If you see somebody on the street, you got to buy them food. You can't ever give them cash. That story rings through my mind as a child and just sometimes you just got to load up the cash, send someone cash for dinner and send someone cash for, I don't know, whatever they need, a bus fare or an airplane ticket or find the miles in your community if someone needs to fly somewhere. Just all these things you're talking about, we kind of have to just get over the hump and just say, Hey, people need help. Let's just go help.Sandra (50:12):And for some of us, I think it's particularly of those of us within our community that are no longer congregating at a local church. I don't know. Did you think the tithe justI think the call to generosity is still there. Whether you want to call your church a local formal traditional church or not, I would hate, I would've hated in our season that we were churchless to have stopped giving out would've been a significant amount of money that would've stopped going out. We still got salaries that year. Well, at least Carl did. Carl got a salary. So I'm like that invitation to generosity, at least at the bare minimum, at the bare minimum, 10% at the bare minimum that should be going out. And so the question is, what did all of us that left churches do with our 10% not to be legalistic because really we should be giving more. The question is, what am I allowed to keep? And for people making six figures, you need to be asking yourselves, why do you need six figures if you don't? Because most of the people, even in places like Seattle and Chicago, are living off of $50,000 a year. So I think as much as we need to ask our government to do well and be integrous in their budget, I think we need to think about that as a place of, and I say that not because I think it's going to solve the problems in Chicago, but I think that money does actually sharing does actually help some people. They haven't eaten.(52:06):They just haven't eaten. We know families whose kids don't eat.Jenny (52:19):Just thank you. It's been really important and meaningful to have your voice and your call to action and to community. I don't take lightly sharing your story and how it's specifically showing up in your community and in your own body and in your own mothering. So thank you for speaking to how you are practicing resilience and how we can think more about how to practice that collectively. It's been really, really good to be here. I am sorry I have to jump off, but thank you Danielle. I'll see you all soon.Sandra (53:23):Yeah, I mean even if you were to think about, you may not be able to provide for anyone, but is there someone in your ecosystem, in your friend group that could really use four sessions of therapy that doesn't have the finances to do so? Or that could really use sessions of acupuncture or massage therapy that doesn't have the money for it, it doesn't have insurance, and of someone who's willing to work with you on that as far as providing that for them. So I think even at that level, it's like if we had to put ourselves in someone else's shoes and say, well, what I want for someone, how would I want for someone to help me without me asking them? I think that is the biggest thing is we cannot, I don't believe we can rely on a person's ability to say what they need.(54:27):I mean, you've had stuff happen in your life. I've had health issues in my own family and problems with my family, and when people are like, oh, how can I help? I'm like, I can't think about that right now. But if a plant shows up at my house that is bringing me joy. Someone just sent me a prayer plant the other day. It's literally called a red prayer plant or something. I was like, yes, I love this. Or if someone buys dinner for my family so I don't have to cook for them, I can't stand up right now. Or if someone said, looks in on me and says, Hey, I know you guys can't be out and about much, so I just wanted to give you some funding for a streaming service. Here you go. Whatever they use it for, that's up to them. But I think to let someone know that you're thinking about them, I think is easy to do with baking something for them, sharing something with them, taking their kids for a few hours.(55:31):Because what if they just need a break from their children and maybe you could just watch their kids for a little bit, pick them up, take them to your house, watch them for a little bit. So I think there are ways that we can practically help each other that again, will make a world of difference to the person that's there next to you. And as always, calling your senators, writing letters, joining in on different campaigns that organizations are doing for around advocacy, checking in with your local city officials and your parent teacher and your schools, and figuring out what are we doing for the kids in our school even to be informed as a neighbor, what is it that our school's doing to protect our families and children? I think those are all good questions that we should always be doing and praying for people and praying specifically. We do that as a family. I think sometimes I don't know what else to do, but to say God to help.Danielle (56:35):Yeah, I mean, I have to go now, but I do think that's kind of key is not that God isn't going to intervene at some point practically, I think we are that active prayer answer for other people we're that answer. I'm not saying we're God, but we're the right. Yeah. Yeah. And just to step into that, be that answer, step into loving when it says, love your neighbor actually doing it and actually showing up and maybe loving your neighbor isn't bringing them dinner. Maybe it's just sitting down and listening to how their day went. Maybe you're not a therapist, maybe you're just a friend. Maybe you're just a community member, but you can sit in and you can hear how rough it was for that day and not take up your own space emotionally, but just be there to listen and then give them a hug and hang or leave. There's a lot of ways to show up and yeah, I'm challenged and want to do this more, so thank you. You'reSandra (57:36):Welcome. Thanks for having me.  Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.
