Frontier tech startups don't fail because the science is bad — they fail because no one needs what they're building. In this episode, Roadrunner Venture Studios CEO/co-founder Adam Hammer explains how to avoid that fate. We talk about why the U.S. struggles to turn research into startups, why being right isn't enough, and what it really takes to cross the Valley of Death between lab science and real-world demand. Along the way, Adam shares practical insights for first-time founders, including: How to test whether your problem is painful enough to sell What the studio model offers that VCs and accelerators can't Why most technical founders struggle with pitching — and how to fix it And what scientists need to unlearn to become CEOs If you're building something deep, hard, or new — don't skip this one. RUNTIME 41:11 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (2:32) How a career spanning national labs, venture capital, and startup leadership led to Roadrunner Venture Studios. (7:46) “ Our goal is to compress all the mistakes that you would make in a three-year period into a year.” (8:50) The three frontier tech sectors Roadrunner focuses on: advanced energy, advanced manufacturing, and advanced compute. (10:28) Why it's so hard to translate lab science into sustainable, venture-scale businesses. (13:49) Adam shares ideas for bridging America's structural gap in commercializing frontier tech. (16:38) “ Roadrunner serves as a de-risking mechanism for ideas and for people.” (21:12) “ In science, you win by being right. But in startups, you win by being useful.” (24:23) What Adam looks for in a pitch deck. (27:15) When it comes to sourcing founders and ideas, “ we are as early as it gets.” (31:54) Why Roadrunner Venture Studios set up shop in New Mexico. (34:16) If he could fix one common founder misconception, what would it be? (36:26) “ There's nothing innate that predetermines whether somebody can or cannot be a founder.” LINKS Adam Hammer Roadrunner Venture Studios The Engine Overcoming the Valley of Death: A New Model for High Technology Startups SUBSCRIBE

When I was a kid, I always wanted Wile E Coyote to catch Road Runner. And then one day, he did - prompting a question that business owners ask themselves every day: "Now What?" A question that can be both incredibly powerful - and incredibly dangerous!
✦ Break out your Flux Capacitor because when this show hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious…. stuff. That's right, “Back to the Future, The Musical” is coming to the Fox Theater this September. Bob Gale, co-writer of the original movies who helped bring to life Marty McFly and Doc Brown, has adapted the story for the stage, giving these beloved characters a whole new dimension. City Lights Collective producer Josh Thane sat down with Gale, along with Atlanta native and cast member Cartreze Tucker, to talk about translating this cinematic classic into live theater magic. ✦ Quilting has a long, rich history that crosses many different cultures and eras. For African Americans, creating quilts served not only as a means of survival and communication but also as a tool to share stories and showcase their artistry. O.V. Brantly created the Atlanta Quilt Festival 17 years ago to preserve and promote African American quilting and textile art. The juried exhibition has grown to over 100 quilts on display at the Southwest Arts Center and is on view through September 6. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans went down to check out these vibrant pieces of artwork. ✦ City Lights Collective member Shane Harrison spends his days at ArtsATL looking for cultural events to share with readers. He joins us weekly to share highlights, and today his mix includes The Weeknd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, A Strange Loop at Actor's Express, and two shows that highlight the silver screen at The Booth Western Art Museum. ✦ Visual artist and music enthusiast Kosmo Vinyl bought his first LP when he was nine. He spent the next several decades immersed in music and began his professional career at London's pioneering indie label, "Stiff Records." In 1979, Kosmo started working exclusively with "The Clash," who were once billed as The Only Band That Matters, and stayed by their side until the punk icons disbanded in 1986. Over the years, Kosmo's record collection became legendary. In 2014, he began posting about his favorite releases on social media for his series, "Kosmo's Vinyl of the Week," and he joins us weekly to share the stories behind the records he treasures. This week, he shares the story behind "Roadrunner" from The Modern Lovers. ✦ Known for his vibrant, retro-inspired illustrations, Atlanta-based artist Derek Yaniger's work is a delightful blend of mid-century modern aesthetics, vintage comic book style, and rock 'n' roll culture. His art often features bold lines, striking colors, and a playful sense of nostalgia, making him a standout in the world of contemporary illustration. Yaniger's journey has taken him through a variety of creative industries, from ad agencies to Marvel comics to Cartoon Network. He has a special place in his heart for Atlanta's pop culture convention Dragon Con and has collaborated on artwork that combined the ethos of the convention with his signature style. You can see Derek and his art next week in the Comic and Pop Artist Alley at Dragon Con, and he recently joined City Lights Collective Co-host Kim Drobes to discuss his artistic process, influences, and his attachment to our city's longest-running fan-based convention.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner sits dormant in the corner of Apex Auto Works, carrying with it the weight of memory and loss. For Richard Tomlin, this muscle car isn't just a project—it's a living connection to his father, who died in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. After years of seeing it gather dust, Richard has finally found the perfect reason to breathe new life into this family heirloom.The catalyst came from an unexpected source: a customer discussing his dream of racing Pikes Peak in a car like the one he once shared with his own father—who had passed away at the famous hill climb's starting line just three years ago. This serendipitous connection of father-son legacies sparked an ambitious plan that automotive purists might call sacrilege, but Richard calls love.What makes this build truly fascinating is the technical approach. Richard and his team are performing a body swap, mounting the iconic Roadrunner shell onto a donated 2015 NASCAR truck chassis, complete with racing suspension and an 830-horsepower engine. The finished car will maintain its classic muscle car appearance while gaining the performance capabilities needed to tackle America's most famous mountain road. They're even restoring it to its 1984 appearance and incorporating its longtime nickname "Big Bird" into custom touches like the valve covers.The timeline is ambitious: debut at the SEMA show in November, first competition a week later, then to the PRI show in December, before finally challenging Pikes Peak next June. For Richard, this isn't just about speed—it's about preserving memories, honoring two fathers, and demonstrating how automotive passion can transform grief into something that roars with life.Whether you're a muscle car enthusiast, a racing fan, or someone who appreciates how mechanical projects can heal the heart, this story reminds us why we love cars—they're vehicles not just for our bodies, but for our most meaningful human connections.

The boys do a little follow up on old topics when Ray reports on the successful '69 Road Runner repair, then segues into the ongoing disc brake conversion on the 66 Mustang shop project. Master cylinder selection is a hot topic, as is using non-stock parts in a repair or restoration. Chris details some small interior changes that made a big difference in his Chrysler, then lamented about getting a rounded nut stuck in a socket.

Join host Clay Edwards and co-hosts Shaun Yurtkuran and Lindsey Beckham for another unfiltered edition of Uncensored Live, streaming live every Sunday through Thursday. This episode kicks off with a lively introduction to the hosts' daily shows: Catch Shaun and Lindsey on Crossing the Aisle weekdays from noon to 1 PM on WYAB 103.9 FM in Central Mississippi, or stream it worldwide on their YouTube and Facebook channels (with plans to expand to X soon). Clay hosts The Clay Edwards Show every Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 9 AM on the same station, available on social media platforms. As the second full week of this new format rolls on, the trio dives into a mix of throwback stories, local news breakdowns, and fiery discussions on crime, politics, and cultural shifts. Nostalgic Throwbacks and Early Internet Shenanigans: The conversation starts light-hearted with shoutouts to viewers like Junk and RaccoonMan60 on YouTube, sparking a fun chat about quirky usernames tied to old Gmail and AOL accounts. The hosts reminisce about their embarrassing early online handles—Clay's "BudLightAholic69" from AOL chat room days (which hilariously carried over into booking big bands like Papa Roach for his club), Shaun's MySpace monikers like "RedneckRockstar" and "Made of Scars" (inspired by a Stone Sour song), and Lindsey's cringe-worthy Yahoo and MySpace relics. They laugh about deleting MySpace accounts during breakups, getting mad over Top 8 friend lists, and wild road trip antics like writing "Honk if you MySpace" on a Nissan Xterra's window during a chaotic New Orleans adventure. The group reflects on '90s and early 2000s tech: ASL queries in chat rooms, dial-up AOL, illegal downloads via Napster and LimeWire (and the viruses that "gave your computer instant AIDS"), burning CDs, and the excitement of switching to Roadrunner cable modems. They share stories of sketchy online interactions, pondering how many "old men" were lurking in those chat rooms, and tie it back to modern kids' lack of understanding of rejection or dial-up frustrations. Retro Rides and First Cars: Shifting gears, the hosts bond over '90s and 2000s vehicles: Nissan Xterras as the ultimate "2000s car," Mitsubishi Montero Sports aging well, jacked-up Porsche SUVs looking like zombie apocalypse rigs, and first cars like Shaun's 1985 Ford Bronco and a Ford Probe GT. They geek out over Geo Storms, '96 Mustangs, and custom rides, sharing awkward encounters like Clay waving down a neighbor to compliment his vehicle—only to get a cold response. Local News Breakdown: Jackson's Park Pivot and City Improvements: Things get serious with breaking news from the Clarion Ledger: New Jackson Mayor John Horn scraps the Lumumba-era "Pulse at Farish Street" park plan (involving skate parks, pickleball courts, and more) tied to a federal bribery scandal. Instead, the site will become a functional parking lot for the Jackson Convention Complex, addressing long-standing issues like inadequate parking and crumbling lots. The hosts praise the common-sense move, criticizing the original plan's focus on "white" activities like frisbee golf and pickleball in a 90% Black city, and highlight how it could generate revenue without fixed investments. They discuss broader Jackson challenges: crime deterring development, the need for events over permanent fixtures, and how simply stopping "wrong things" (like incompetence in contracts) could heal the city. Shoutouts to Super Chats and viewer support lead to ideas for community events funded by donations. Crime and Altercations: Adams County Incident and Self-Defense Debates: The episode tackles a viral video of an altercation in Adams County near Natchez, where a group of white men assaulted Black cyclist Reginald Butler on a bridge. Butler later returned armed, leading to a second confrontation where he shot one assailant (Cameron Talton) in self-defense, resulting in arrests on both sides (aggravated assault for Butler and others). The hosts dissect the confusing reports, questioning if it's a hate crime (potentially drawing Ben Crump), the role of Butler retrieving a gun, and self-defense laws (no duty to retreat in Mississippi, but leaving and returning complicates claims). They compare it to past cases like a local manslaughter involving a bouncer and emphasize waiting for full context, as initial videos often mislead (citing a Crystal Springs trooper incident). Policy Proposals and Cultural Critiques: Ski Mask Ban and COVID Reflections: Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade's proposal to ban ski masks in public (citing intimidation and evading facial recognition) sparks debate on masks generally—COVID-era "face diapers," hoodies in summer as red flags for crime, and why concealing identity screams suspicion. The hosts slam draconian COVID measures (e.g., Tate Reeves banning boats on reservoirs, restaurant restrictions), praising Florida's pivot while criticizing California's extremes (filling skate parks with sand). They reflect on unaccountable politicians, lost loved ones dying alone, and calls for laws like the "No One Left Alone Act." National Hot Topics: Epstein Files, Trump Admin Drama, and More: The discussion heats up on Jeffrey Epstein files: Trump's shifting stance ("release credible information"), Megyn Kelly's takedown of Ben Shapiro, demands from Mike Johnson, and speculation on black swan events distracting from it. They critique conservative influencers like Charlie Kirk for dodging the topic to maintain access, praise independent voices like Tucker Carlson and Kelly, and tie in Biden's preemptive pardons (e.g., for Fauci, Hunter) as legally dubious blankets covering potential crimes like gain-of-function research linked to millions of deaths. Shoutouts and Local Plugs: Shoutouts to viewers, Super Chats, and local businesses like Mocha Mugs in Rankin County (two locations: drive-thru at the old bank near Burgers Blues Barbecue and another at the Exxon by Kroger). The hosts encourage supporting local spots and tipping generously. Wrap-Up and Teasers: This episode blends humor, nostalgia, and hard-hitting analysis, proving why Uncensored Live is a must-watch for unvarnished takes on Mississippi life and beyond. Tune in tomorrow for more—same time, same raw energy. Follow on YouTube, Facebook, X, and WYAB 103.9 FM. What did you think of the Adams County case or the ski mask ban?

Ephesians 6:10-13 - Being Strong in the Lord Focus on Ephesians 6:10-13, particularly the "wiles of the devil," defined as schemes, tricks, and lies. The devil attacks to prevent people from standing firm. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood." Personal experience of being tempted to stay silent before speaking. The devil tries to discourage and bring down. Weightlifting Analogy Relating scripture to weightlifting, using the example of his son's weightlifting journey. Son initially struggled in football but persevered. Improved through hard work, nutrition, and weightlifting. Became a top performer in the weight room. The central nervous system's role in lifting heavy weights. Body resists heavy weight, causing shaking, pain, and mental discouragement. Many quit at this point. Overcoming the "wiles of the devil" is like pushing through the pain and mental barriers in weightlifting. The devil uses lies and tricks to make challenges seem impossible. Example: "This person has hurt you too much." Advice given to his son and nephew: Hold the weight to understand the feeling. Prayer and support from others are essential. Reference to Aaron needing help holding up his arms. Gradual progress is key. His son incrementally increased weight over time. Importance of standing firm after doing all one can. Relating weightlifting to spiritual battles and the attacks of the devil. "Arrows and darts are coming at them." Emphasizing the need to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. "We cannot do this alone." Anticipating attacks from the devil, either now or in the future. Remembering that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood." Wile E. Coyote Analogy Comparing the devil's schemes to Wile E. Coyote's tricks. The Roadrunner's confidence and focus on his goal. Confidence in the Lord allows us to overcome the "things of darkness." Personal testimony of being saved at a young age. Acknowledging ongoing struggles and reliance on faith. Recalling a time when his daughter was in the hospital with a heart condition. Despite the scary situation, faith remained strong. "Her little heart may be half a heart in there, but that little God is full." David and Goliath Drawing a parallel between the Roadrunner's confidence and David facing Goliath. David's confidence in the Lord despite Goliath's size and experience. The army was scared and tricked by the devil's wiles. David's declaration: "I come to Thee in the name of the Lord of hosts." Emphasizing reliance on God's power, not personal strength. David's past experiences with the lion and the bear gave him confidence. "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine?" Encouragement to face seemingly impossible giants with faith. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities." Invitation to Accept Jesus The only way to stand is through the power of God's might. Without Jesus, one can only rely on oneself. Offering an opportunity to: Accept Jesus as Savior. Seek help to stand in His might. Find confidence. Get rid of things. If lost, there is no hope without Jesus. Personal testimony of the blessings of following the Lord. When faced with the devil's tricks, prayer brings help and strength. "I'm still standing in the power of His blood."

Can you learn to drive by watching NASCAR videos? Can you survive a fall from a cliff if you watch enough Road Runner cartoons? So who thinks the best approach to helping pregnant women stay healthy is to show them an incomplete, feel-good video that glosses over important information?

On today's show, we have an author who has written a book called Dance of the Comedians - 75 Years of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote - An Unauthorized History. Here he is, Dan Sendker. Plus, the usual news from Fun Ideas Productions.
We're getting the first unofficial indication from Republicans in the Legislature that they might decide not to write a new state budget bill at all. They're so defeated by Gov Tony Evers' partial vetoes, they'd rather claim it's more fiscally conservative to simply let the current state budget roll over. Another way to look at it: They're tired of being Wile E. Coyote, of Evers being the Road Runner, and his veto pen playing the role of the Acme anvil that gets dropped on their heads in every budget cycle.

The House Settlement is on the horizon, bringing a new era of revenue sharing to college athletics. We know that UTSA will opt-in to the settlement, meaning they'll be paying their student athletes. But how will UTSA strategize their movements around this opportunity? Which sports will see the most investment? How does Runners United tie into the equation? We welcomed UTSA Athletic Director Lisa Campos back to the show to discuss all of these things and more in a very fascinating conversation that Roadrunner diehards will love.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 25, 2025 is: travail truh-VAIL noun Travail is a formal word, usually used in plural, that refers to a difficult experience or situation. // The book describes the political travails of the governor during her first year in office. See the entry > Examples: "Written by Samy Burch, the film [Coyote vs. Acme] follows the travails of the desert denizen who is tired of being slammed with Acme products as he tries to outsmart the Roadrunner. Coyote finally decides to hire a lawyer to take the Acme Corp. to court for product liability, such as faulty rocket skates and defective aerial bombs." — Meg James, The Los Angeles Times, 20 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Travail traces back to trepalium, a Late Latin word for an instrument of torture. We don't know exactly what a trepalium looked like, but the word's history gives us an idea. Trepalium comes from the Latin adjective tripalis, which means "having three stakes" (from tri-, meaning "three," and palus, meaning "stake"). Trepalium eventually led to the Anglo-French verb travailler, meaning "to torment" but also, more mildly, "to trouble" and "to journey." The Anglo-French noun travail was borrowed into English in the 13th century, along with another descendant of travailler, travel.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Highly Suspect over Zoom video! Never content to follow, Highly Suspect push rock music forward by trusting their instincts and raising a middle finger to everything else. The multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated and gold-certified band - Johnny Stevens [vocals, guitar], Ryan Meyer [drums, vocals], Rich Meyer [bass, vocals], Matt Kofos [guitar] and Mark Schwartz [keyboards/guitars] - don't just talk about burning the rules and breaking the mold; they actually do so.The band's chemically imbalanced mix of gritty guitars, haunting piano, off-kilter synths, hip-hop production, cinematic vision, and beautifully possessed vocals transformed them into a phenomenon beloved by a diehard global fanbase known as “MCID” [My Crew Is Dope]. After grinding it out as an underground curiosity, they scraped a path to mainstream infamousness with their 2015 full-length debut, Mister Asylum. It earned a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Rock Album” as the single “Lydia” received a nomination for “Best Rock Song” was certified gold by the RIAA.The 2016 follow-up The Boy Who Died Wolf roared to life with the gold-selling “My Name Is Human,” which catapulted to #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and garnered a GRAMMY® Nomination for “Best Rock Song.” 2019's MCID affirmed them as the rare outfit who could collaborate with Young Thug and Gojira on the same album. Loudwire hailed the latter among the “50 Best Rock Albums of 2019.” With hundreds of millions of streams and sold out shows on multiple continents, Highly Suspect charged ahead of the pack again on 2022's The Midnight Demon Club with no compromises and no apologies as they challenged rock to be dangerous and maybe even life-changing again.

Imagine an Ostrich, an Emu, a roadrunner, and the world's fastest man and woman, all lined up for a race. Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt holds the men's record for the 100-meter dash — 28 mph — and Florence Griffith-Joyner ran it just a shade slower. But in this race, Africa's Ostrich takes gold, crossing the finish line at an incredible 43 mph. The Emu from Australia takes silver, topping 30 mph. The roadrunner comes in last.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Sign up for BirdNote+ to get ad-free listening and other perks.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 22, 2025 is: astute uh-STOOT adjective Someone or something described as astute has or shows an ability to notice and understand things clearly. In other words, they are mentally sharp or clever. Astute can also describe someone who is crafty or wily. // They made some astute observations about the movie industry. // Astute readers will notice the error. See the entry > Examples: “Geraldine and Claire were out walking their dog, Daisy. They felt as though Daisy was very astute at reacting to their mood, rather than reflecting it.” — Robbie Meredith, BBC, 4 Dec. 2024 Did you know? Road Runner always bests Wile E. Coyote in the famous Looney Tunes cartoon series, but both characters help demonstrate meanings of the word astute. Astute comes from the Latin adjective astutus, meaning “cunning, crafty, or clever,” which in turn comes from the noun astus, meaning “craft.” The English adjective, accordingly, can describe both the crafty and the wily. It's easy to see how this applies to Wile E. Coyote: in each episode, Road Runner races along the highways of the American Southwest while the coyote sets an elaborate trap for the bird, usually with the aid of some goofy product ordered from the fictitious Acme company. But alas, Road Runner is astute, as in “mentally sharp or clever.” In other words, he is not only quick on his feet, but quick on the uptake. He usually catches wind of the schemes, which ultimately backfire due to either the products' chronic unreliability or Coyote's own ineptitude. Road Runner, never captured or damaged, responds with a characteristic “Beep! Beep!” and runs off.
