What happens when the person hired to keep you safe is fighting a system that would rather look the other way?This week's bite-sized episode dives into Lifeguard, A Love Story, the memoir from Janet Fash, one of the first female lifeguard chiefs in New York City history, co-written with Cleo Chang. I read through Janet's decades on Rockaway Beach, from her start as a hazed rookie lifeguard in the debauchery-soaked 1970s to her years-long battle against entrenched union corruption at the top of the Parks Department. It's part coming of age story, part exposé, and I break down where each half succeeds and where the blend gets uneven, plus why that slow first third might test even the most patient reader.I also gets into the harder threads running through the book: the tragedies Janet survives along the way, the sexism and harassment she faces climbing the ranks, and the quietly devastating stakes of what happens when a beach safety system is run for power instead of people. It's a messy, imperfect memoir about what it actually costs to be the one person willing to keep pushing when everyone else has made peace with looking away.Give this one a listen, then let us know if you made it past that first third.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with The Baklava Guy (aka Roy Donk), founder and operator of Good Baklava, a business that imports baklava from Turkey, bakes it in The Kingdom of New Jersey, and sells it throughout the tri-state area, and beyond. When the Knicks made their historic playoff run, a guy handing out baklava to fans outside the stadium became one of New York's most unexpected viral personalities. Today you'll catch him in McCarren Park, Fort Greene Park, Rockaway Beach on the streets of Bushwick slingin' bak, or even at Coachella Valley Music Festival and on Phish tour.In this episode host Michael Shields and The Baklava Guy talk about where the love affair with baklava began and how the whole operation got its start. They discuss what makes Good Baklava so delicious and where it is sourced from, how to eat it correctly, and the myriad of places that The Baklava Guy can be found sharing his deliciousness. They also get into what it's like selling baklava on Phish lot, what it felt like to be in the midst of the Knicks championship run, and so much more. Hosted on Acast.

Listen to the Travels With Randy Soundtrack on Apple right here! Evolution of Air Conditioning Bubba and Randy discussed the climate differences between Washington and other regions, particularly focusing on the lack of air conditioning in European homes and historical cars. They explored how air conditioning has evolved over time, noting that it wasn't widely available in cars until the 1950s and 1960s, coinciding with the peak of Route 66 travel. The conversation highlighted how people today take air conditioning for granted compared to previous generations who had to cope without it. Modern Life vs Historical Challenges Bubba and Randy discussed the challenges of living in different climates and eras, highlighting how modern conveniences like air conditioning, medicine, and advanced surgical techniques have significantly improved quality of life. They reflected on how grateful they should be for these advancements and considered what it would be like to experience earlier times, ultimately concluding that modern life is preferable despite its complexities. The conversation also touched on the importance of appreciating one's ancestors and the chain of events that led to their existence. 4th of July Travel Experiences Randy shared his 4th of July travel experience, where he initially planned to visit Astoria but couldn't find hotel accommodations, so he switched to Rockaway Beach instead. However, he struggled with long wait times and decided to leave early without seeing the fireworks. Bubba and Randy then discussed their experiences watching the Washington D.C. fireworks display, with Bubba describing it as overly propagandistic and cheesy. The conversation concluded with Randy mentioning his visit to the Tillamook Ice Cream Factory and his plans to continue his Cascade series by driving down Highway 20 to Newport, Oregon. Highway 20 Cross-Country Trip Planning Randy discussed plans to drive Highway 20 from Newport, Oregon to Boston, Massachusetts as his next cross-country trip after returning from Alaska in the fall. He noted challenges with GPS systems not being able to route directly on Highway 20 and considered using AI tools like Claude to plan the route. The conversation also touched on Randy's use of various AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok for different purposes, and briefly mentioned Elon Musk's recent stock performance. AI Voice Assistant Update Discussion Randy discussed an unexpected update to the AI voice assistant Beth, who now has a different voice with Australian accent and more human-like responses, including laughter. Bubba noted that Beth's new voice sounds more realistic and human than before. They discussed the possibility of using Beth's voice for a video project, including potentially having her sing the show's theme song. Oregon Trip and Property Updates Randy shared details about his recent trip to Oregon, including staying at various Harvest Host locations and visiting the Three Sisters mountains in the Cascade Range. He discussed the geological history of the Three Sisters, including their original names (Faith, Love, and Hope) and current names (North, Middle, and South Sister). Randy also described recent work on his property, including installing a creek and having sheep and goats rented to clear weeds, and mentioned plans to visit Mount Adams before leaving for Chicago. Route 66 Calendar Distribution Randy and Bubba discussed the availability and distribution of a new Route 66 calendar, which is now being shipped daily and is available for purchase on various platforms including Randy's website, eBay, and Walmart. The 16-month calendar covers September 2024 to December 2025 and features photos of Route 66 with descriptive captions, with plans to potentially create future calendars including an Alaska edition. Bubba noted that the calendar is currently being shipped to a location in Seligman, Arizona for retail availability. Buy the Travels With Randy Route 66 Centennial Calendar right here! SpaceX Investment Discussion Meeting Randy and Bubba discussed their investments in SpaceX stock, with both planning to build positions over time despite recent volatility. They noted that SpaceX's upcoming earnings report and potential lockup expiration could create trading opportunities, though they emphasized this was not financial advice.

What happens when two people on the same bike tour decide to have two completely different adventures? On this edition of The Pedalshift Project, day two of the Sprocketshift Oregon Coast adventure with Brock Dittus starts with a split decision in Tillamook. Brock points his bike north for a long, wet ride toward Cannon Beach. I slow things way down for cheese, side quests, a little local riding, and maybe a bit of a rethink about what I actually want out of bicycle travel these days. Two riders. Two very different days. One extremely cheap bus ride. Will the bike and bus gods allow us to reunite for fish, chips, oysters, and beer in Astoria?     A reminder about our cool spinner giveaway! If you signed up for the Pedalshift email list like I told you last week, or you already were… check your inbox! Reply back to me with that email at pedalshift@pedalshift.net by Sunday July 19 at 11:59pm PT and voila! You're entered! What do you win? Only the second of its kind functioning spinner designed by Simone, the creative mind behind the 5 timers award and future Pedalshift merch. Check out the GIF of my favorite fidgety thing in the shownotes. And good luck everyone who enters!     Oregon Coast Bike Tour with Brock Dittus – Part 2   Day two of our northbound Oregon Coast bike tour begins in Tillamook with a major change of plans.   With uncertain weather, challenging terrain, and Oregon Coast bus schedules that aren't lining up particularly well, Brock Dittus and I decide to split up for the day. Brock heads north by bicycle toward Cannon Beach. I stay behind for a much lower-mileage day exploring Tillamook by bike before using public transit to fast-forward north.   The result is something a little different for The Pedalshift Project: two simultaneous tour journals from two riders having completely different bicycle touring adventures.   Two Riders, Two Very Different Oregon Coast Adventures   Brock leaves Tillamook with an ambitious goal: ride north toward Astoria and see how far he can get.   His day includes:   Intermittent rain that becomes considerably less intermittent A thoroughly soaked ride through Rockaway Beach The climbs and terrain of the northern Oregon Coast Neahkahnie Mountain Roughly 40 miles of challenging bicycle touring The strategy of simply not stopping because stopping means getting cold A reminder that wet jeans and long-distance cycling are not necessarily natural allies   Meanwhile, I embrace something closer to a bicycle-assisted vacation day in Tillamook:   A visit to the Tillamook Creamery The realization that I actually had been there before… roughly three decades ago A stop at Blue Heron A visit to the Tillamook farmers market Some local exploration by bike A side quest involving the elusive Oregon delicacy known as meadowfoam honey An extremely inexpensive bus connection north   Same bike tour. Very different days.   Rethinking How I Bicycle Tour   My slower day in Tillamook raises a bigger question about how I want to approach bicycle travel going forward.   For years, my touring style has often focused on moving from Point A to Point B. The places along the route are part of the experience, but mileage and reaching the destination can easily become the priority.   That means I've ridden through places like Tillamook many times without actually spending much time experiencing them.   This day was different.   Instead of riding through Tillamook yet again, I stayed. I visited places I'd skipped on previous Oregon Coast bike tours. I explored. I followed a side quest. I rode when I wanted to ride and stopped when I wanted to stop.   And it may represent a bit of a shift in how I think about bicycle touring.   The length of a bicycle trip doesn't always have to be measured by the number of miles ridden. Sometimes the bike is the thing that gets us to the experience.   Brock's 40 Miles of Type Two Fun   While I'm contemplating a new philosophy of slower bicycle travel over cheese samples, Brock is having a very different day.   Rain. Hills. Wet clothes. More rain.   Despite the conditions, he makes excellent time north from Tillamook, riding through Rockaway Beach and over the challenging terrain toward Cannon Beach.   He ultimately reaches Cannon Beach after roughly 40 miles of riding and decides that he doesn't need to ride all the way to Astoria to prove anything.   The original goal may have been a much longer day, but sometimes knowing when you've already had the adventure is part of the adventure.   Also: prolonged rain, soaked clothing, and friction are apparently a combination worth avoiding.   This is useful bicycle touring information.   Reunited in Cannon Beach   Thanks to a combination of bicycles, buses, location sharing, and an Oregon Coast transit schedule that somehow works out, our two routes converge in Cannon Beach.   From there, we take the final bus together to Astoria.   The total cost of taking public transportation from Tillamook to Astoria?   Two dollars.   For bicycle tourists interested in combining cycling with transit on the Oregon Coast, the regional bus network can create some remarkably inexpensive options for shortening or modifying a route.   Astoria: Fish, Chips, Oysters, and Bicycle Touring   We end the day in Astoria with beer, seafood, oyster shooters, and a comparison of our radically different adventures.   That leads us back to a question that has come up repeatedly on The Pedalshift Project:   Where are all the bicycle tourists?   Even during prime touring season on the Oregon Coast—one of the best-known bicycle touring routes in the United States—we encounter remarkably few loaded touring cyclists.   Is traditional road-based bicycle touring declining?   Are more cyclists choosing gravel and off-road bikepacking routes?   Are hikers increasingly becoming the primary users of Oregon's hiker-biker campsites?   And if bicycle touring numbers continue to decline, what could that mean for the future of the infrastructure that makes routes like the Oregon Coast possible?   Our data set is hardly scientific, but after several years of seeing the same pattern, it's becoming harder to dismiss.   Sometimes the Constraints Make the Bike Tour   This weekend also offers another reminder about bicycle travel: sometimes the trip you wouldn't have chosen is the trip that produces the best stories.   If we'd had several weekends available, we probably would have avoided this one because of the weather.   Instead, this was the weekend we had.   Rain. Bus schedules. Route changes. A split adventure. Unexpected stops.   Brock compares it to Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies: introducing limitations and constraints that force you to approach something differently.   In our case, the constraints became the bike tour.   Also in This Episode   The Tillamook Creamery: the Disneyland of cheese Why ice cream at 10:30 in the morning is a defensible life choice The search for Oregon meadowfoam honey Bicycle touring through Tillamook, Rockaway Beach, Cannon Beach, and Astoria Combining bikes and public transit on the Oregon Coast Cannon Beach's continuing role as a mildly cursed bicycle-touring destination Businesses without Wi-Fi The mysterious economics of an artisanal s'mores establishment Oyster shooters and the deeply questionable possibility of oyster Jell-O Brock's return to podcasting Why talking to your bus driver can save your connection A final full-circle return to Salem   Statistics   Riders beginning the day together: 2 Riders immediately splitting up: 2 Cheese establishments visited: 2 Approximate miles ridden by Brock: 40 Approximate miles ridden by Tim: 6–8 Bus fare from Tillamook to Astoria: $2 Prawns consumed: 8 Pieces of cod consumed by Brock: 3 Pints consumed: 1 each Smokes broken: 1 Questionable oyster Jell-O concepts developed: 1 Flats: zero

Travels With Randy Summer Of '26 Episode 4 is here! TWR Summer of '26 Ep 4: It's Too Hot, The World Cup Is Awesome, And We've Created A Route 66 Calendar!  ***Featuring two more versions of the Travels With Randy Theme Song*** Regional Climate Policy Comparisons The conversation focused on weather differences between regions and environmental policies, particularly comparing climate approaches in Europe and the United States. The participants discussed how Europe's anti-air conditioning stance conflicts with China's aggressive construction of power plants and data centers without public debate. The discussion concluded with brief comments about a travel show called "Travels with Randy" and its updated tropical-themed logo. Podcast Music and Travel Plans Bubba discussed creating theme music for his podcast "Travels with Randy" using AI tools like Claude and Suno, which allowed him to generate lyrics and music in minutes without needing to hire musicians or pay royalties. The conversation then shifted to travel plans, where Randy shared his upcoming trip to Rockaway Beach for the 4th of July parade and plans to visit Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, the Three Sisters, and potentially Crater Lake in the Cascade mountain range. They also discussed the current popularity of Route 66 due to World Cup visitors and the upcoming 4th of July celebrations. World Cup Discussion Meeting Bubba and Randy discussed their interest in the World Cup, with Bubba sharing his newfound appreciation for soccer after watching his sons play for 10 years. They talked about recent exciting matches, including England's comeback win and Mexico's historic advancement to the knockout rounds. The conversation concluded with them noting how international visitors are surprised by Americans' friendliness and the positive atmosphere during the tournament. Global Football Content Appeal Bubba and Randy discussed the global appeal of American football content, particularly highlighting videos of people visiting unique American locations like Buc-ee's. They compared the viewership of the Super Bowl to the World Cup, noting that soccer has a larger global following. The conversation also touched on FIFA's restrictions on stadium naming rights during the World Cup and the logistics of traveling to multiple host cities in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Route 66 Calendar Launch Randy and Bubba announced the launch of a 16-month Route 66 calendar, certified by the National Route 66 Commission, featuring original photos by Randy.

In this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we welcome back Gina Jurlando to the show. You might remember her when we last had her on to talk about the Yeasty Boys, the community surf group she founded to help make surfing more welcoming, inclusive, and supportive for everyone looking to paddle out.Since then, Gina has continued doing what she does best—bringing people together. Whether it's through surfing, community events, environmental initiatives, art, film, or simply creating spaces where people can connect, she's become one of the driving forces behind the ever-evolving culture of Rockaway Beach.Today she's back to talk about two exciting new projects. First, the inaugural Rockaway Surf Film Festival, a new celebration of surf culture, storytelling, creativity, and the unique community that has grown around the ocean here in New York. And second, Jupiter Club, a new community-focused surf club, co-working space, event venue, and gathering place that is already becoming a hub for surfers, artists, entrepreneurs, and locals alike. Jupiter Club was created to carry forward the spirit of community that has always made Rockaway special, while creating new opportunities for people to connect, collaborate, and share ideas. From building one of the most welcoming surf communities on the East Coast to helping launch new cultural institutions right here in Rockaway, Gina continues to prove that surfing is about much more than waves—it's about the people you meet along the way.She is our guest today on this episode of The Swell Season Surf Podcast.Follow The Jupiter Club on Instagram: jupiterclubnycYou can find more information on the club and The  Rockaway Surf  Film Festival here: https://www.jupiterclubnyc.com/ The Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Music: Artist: The SandalsSong: Driftin'Album: The Endless Summer Soundtrack 00:00 Welcome Back Gina02:42 Host Gift Plug04:17 Jupiter Club Origins06:53 Amenities And Bike Plans08:18 Why Jupiter Club10:18 Running The Space11:49 Membership And Lockers13:33 Programming By Community15:35 Work Life Balance18:36 Film Festival Idea21:16 Keeping It Short23:41 Tech And Volunteers26:39 Submissions And Judging28:50 Screening Night Details29:22 Panel Talk And Kwame30:12 Surf Therapy Explained32:02 Volunteering and Perspective33:25 Running a Surf Club35:23 Dogs and Community Vibes36:12 Film Festival Updates37:00 Summer Events Lineup37:23 Wetsuit Repair and Sustainability40:51 Art Classes and Community Ideas42:30 Organic Growth and Challenges45:27 Social Media Struggles48:36 Surfer Questionnaire51:06 Final Plugs and Wrap UpBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, the Knicks are one win away from the Finals, Cleveland is still launching three-pointers like they're trying to pay rent with them, and apparently New York City lost its outside-watch-party privileges because a few people forgot how to behave near Knicks games. We ask the important questions: Why are the Cavs treating every possession like a heat-check? Why does success in New York immediately turn into a crowd-control situation? And who looked at the calendar and decided Memorial Day weekend should roll directly into Eid al-Adha like this was some kind of holiday back-to-back challenge mode?Also included:A completely unbiased* breakdown of the Knicks-Cavs series from someone who “doesn't even watch basketball like that,” yet somehow has very strong opinions.A public safety reminder that New Yorkers cannot be trusted with nice things once playoff basketball enters the group chat.And a deep investigation into why this week feels like it was scheduled by the same people who plan MTA weekend service changes.(*Bias may exist. Especially against unnecessary three-point attempts.)In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, a tree fell on a woman and partially crushed multiple cars in the Bronx on Memorial Day, cops said. Meanwhile, a wet and not-so-wild Memorial Day capped a washout holiday weekend for the Big Apple, leaving Rockaway Beach empty during the unofficial start of summer except for diehard locals and frustrated business owners.A killer executed a man as he washed clothes with his wife at a Brooklyn laundromat Monday morning, cops and sources said. The brazen gunman also accidentally shot a 68-year-old bystander in the foot in the process, they said.And out in the American west in California, a crack has relieved some pressure in a damaged chemical tank and the temperature of the highly flammable gas inside is continuing to fall, leading authorities to say they believe the risk of a catastrophic explosion has been eliminated.

This episode is another in our series on Climate Resilience featuring Alex Berkowitz, Founder and CEO of Coastal Protection Solutions (CPS), a startup developing nearshore infrastructure that reduces wave energy and enhances climate resilience. Alex shares how her personal experience with Hurricane Sandy in her hometown of Rockaway Beach led to the creation of the Wave Breaker—an innovative floating barrier designed to protect coastal communities from storm surge and erosion. She explains how CPS integrates landscape design, marine engineering, and microgrid energy into its solution, and how it differs from traditional seawalls or breakwaters. Alex also discusses navigating public policy, permitting, and insurance incentives, and finally, Alex shares her career advice for those who are interested in climate resilience.

Whether you live in a city, a small town, or even if you get your water from a well like I do, one of the biggest threats to drinking water in the Pacific Northwest is industrial logging.(A hugely notable exception is portland, which as my guest will touch on in the interview, does not allow logging in its drinking water source, the Bull Run watershed.  Portland's water also happens to be famous for its purity and taste, probably a coincidence though…)However, by law, Oregon's drinking watersheds have no special protections to safeguard them from being polluted or destroyed by industrial logging, and many watersheds are in the hands of large timber corporations whose executives could not care less about our drinking water.One of the worst examples of this dynamic is Jetty Creek, which is the sole source of drinking water for Rockaway Beach on Oregon's North Coast.We at the Coast Range Association have long supported and assisted the work of North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection, and I'm excited to be able to highlight their work fighting to safeguard drinking water for their communities.They are a great example of a grassroots organizing campaign based around a local issue that also connects their struggle to the broader justice movement.Before we get to that, I wanted to give a very quick update on our campaign to protect the Siuslaw National Forest, or as some folks have called it, the Siuslaw Strategic National Carbon Reserve.Many of our listeners already know that the Coast Range is the most productive temperate rainforest in the world in terms of its carbon sequestration potential.  Basically, the trees grow really big, really fast, and can live for a very long time if we don't cut them down.As the only National Forest in the Coast Range, the Siuslaw not only provides critical habitat for endangered species, it can either serve as a carbon sink or a carbon bomb, based on the management practices of the Forest Service.And as we've discussed in depth on previous episodes, the Forest Service is in the middle of dual processes amending its management practices.  So what could possibly go wrong, right?The Coast Range Association is engaged in a summer of action to protect the Siuslaw, and we need your help.  Whether you can come out into the woods with us, help organize events, table at farmers markets, or don't know what to do, we can use your help!We'll have more updates as our campaign progresses, but for now, go to coastrange.org and click the Siuslaw National Forest Action Page to learn more and sign up, and you can email me at michael@coastrange.org anytime.Show Notes:Siuslaw National Forest Action Page: https://coastrange.org/coast-range-association/siuslaw-action/North Coast Communities For Watershed Protection: https://healthywatershed.org/Save Mothball Hill campaign: https://www.change.org/Save-MothballHill-DavisRidge-SloughHill-from-ClearcuttingSupport the Show.Please Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

With beach season getting started, Chris Allieri, founder of the NYC Plover Project, and Aydon Gabourel,  founder of Laru Beya Collective, talk about their work in the Rockaway Beach community. 

Rockaway Beach does not usually make the lists of best beach towns. Narrow it down to the north Oregon coast specifically, and it still faces stiff competition with Cannon Beach, Manzanita, Astoria, Seaside and Pacific City. That could be even more reason to go. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we take a weekend trip to Rockaway Beach to discover all the overlooked destination has to offer. With corn dogs, ice cream, fried fish and kitschy shops, it definitely has a classic beach town vibe, while the beaches themselves can be expansive, quiet and beautiful. Here are some highlights from this week's show: What's the deal with Rockaway Beach anyway? Why Pronto Pup is corn dog church. Exploring the many beach access points.
