Lindsey Graham Funeral—Zelensky in DC. The Dem Spoiler in Montana. Space City Week Continues. Media Blitz Pod From the 100 degree shadow of the Saturn V in Huntsville, Alabama at NASA, Paul Rieckhoff delivers a no-BS field report on a week when the stakes continue to get higher. President Zelensky is in Washington, Senator Lindsey Graham laid to rest, and the bipartisan opening to finally pass  a Ukraine support bill with stronger sanctions, more weapons, more money — is right in front of Congress. Meanwhile, Trump is openly signaling he intends to attack the November elections, and the confirmation of unqualified loyalist Jay Clayton to run the intelligence community is a warning shot about what happens when loyalty replaces competence at the top of America's national security apparatus. Paul lays out why independents — now 45% of voters and growing by 10,000 defectors a week from the two major parties — are the circuit breaker this country needs. And breaks down the new polling from the Montana Senate race, where Green Beret and Rhodes Scholar Seth Bodnar can actually win—if the partisan Democrat in the race stops playing spoiler.  And in a special media pop from his weekly segment on CNN with Erin Burnett, Paul rips into Clayton, and explains why the elections themselves are the last firewall against a president who has told us exactly what he plans to do. This is the ground truth from Rocket City: patriotism, unity, and vigilance, delivered straight. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

The Insurrection Act and The Role of Governors. How to Win Over the Other Side. WNBA All-Star Game. Rocket City, USA, NASA and Trash Pandas. Trump is federalizing National Guard troops, threatening Chicago, New York, and LA with domestic deployments, and using the White House podium to launch personal attacks at anyone who pushes back. Governor JB Pritzker is one of the few Democrats actually fighting — in court, in public, and inside his own party. In his first appearance on Independent Americans, he sits down with Paul Rieckhoff for a no-BS conversation about Trump's nasty WHCD remarks, the Bears' stadium standoff, the Mamdani-Sherrill-Spanberger split in the Democratic coalition, and why he thinks the real divide right now isn't left vs. center — it's team cave vs. team fight. Paul presses Pritzker hard on the stuff independents actually care about: open primaries, the public funding of private party elections, national security credibility on the Democratic bench, and whether governors — not senators, not congressmen — are the best bet for 2028. Pritzker pushes back, defends his grocery initiative, warns about the Insurrection Act, and tells a story about calling other Democratic governors during the Minneapolis crackdown that should make every voter in America pay attention. This one is a real conversation, not a campaign stop. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

A full interview with Los Angeles Angels prospect Nick Rodriguez after taking home a Player of the Week award for Rocket City this month. We talk about his first full year of pro ball and about how life has been since being drafted a year ago.

Lito Villanueva went from a junior Air Force cyber specialist to a military contractor in Afghanistan, a special operations communications expert, and eventually a volunteer supporting teams near the front lines of the war in Ukraine.In this episode, of Urban Valor, Lito shares the uncensored story of leaving the U.S. Air Force after two years, landing a $164,500 Afghanistan contractor job at 21, surviving daily mortar attacks at FOB Shank—better known as “Rocket City”—and entering the hidden world of special operations, C4ISR, military communications, drones, intelligence, surveillance, and kinetic strike operations.He also opens up about the psychological cost of war, witnessing lethal operations, returning home disconnected from civilian life, battling depression, and finding a new sense of purpose through veteran suicide prevention and humanitarian work.Years later, after Russia invaded Ukraine, Lito entered the country alone with humanitarian aid and eventually joined a team that needed his expertise in tactical communications, blue-force tracking, intelligence organization, and battlefield command-and-control systems.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we head south to learn all about the Rocket City Marathon Weekend coming up this December in Huntsville, Alabama. We are joined by Eric Fritz and Rhonda Hayden from the Rocket City Marathon team to talk about the history of the race, the growth of Huntsville, and why this 50th running is shaping up to be something special. We dig into what makes Rocket City such a strong destination race, from its mid-sized field and downtown host hotels to the rare indoor finish at the Von Braun Center, complete with food, family, music, and post-race celebration. Eric and Rhonda also walk us through the Hat Trick Challenge, where runners can take on the 5K, 10K, and either the half or full marathon across race weekend, earning individual medals plus a special finisher hat. We also talk about the expo experience, the new Podcast Alley concept, and how several running podcasts will help runners get ready for race weekend from training to nutrition to mental preparation. Beyond the miles, Rocket City is also running with purpose, supporting Huntsville Hospital's pediatric work after raising more than $100,000 last year for an inclusive therapeutic playground and focusing this year on helping fund a pediatric air ambulance. And since the race lands right in the middle of December, we also get into the holiday magic of Huntsville, including the Tinsel Trail, downtown Christmas lights, family-friendly attractions, restaurants, and southern hospitality. Whether you are already signed up, thinking about joining us, or just looking for your next great race weekend adventure, this episode is your invitation to come run Rocket City with us.

The early alarms, the corrals, the castle, the finish line glow—Marathon Weekend is closer than it feels, and we're tackling the questions you're actually asking. We dig into the big simulation week and why it's more about patience than pace, then talk taper calm and how to internalize race pace without burning yourself out. From there, we zoom into the choices that matter: smart carb loading at Disney (yes, fries can be part of a plan), when a hydration vest helps, and how to keep your hands, feet, and head warm with simple gear that won't slow you down.We map spectator routes that work for early birds and back-of-packers—TTC for easy mid-race cheers and a monorail return to EPCOT for the finish—plus a cheer squad meetup near Coronado Springs around Mile 20–21 for that late-race lift. Sleep still tricky? We share practical routines, layered alarms, and low-stress morning timelines that get you to security, a character photo, and your corral without rushing. We also break down shoe rotation for challenges and the one rule we never break: nothing new on race day.Course talk stays honest: which Magic Kingdom approach feels better, why Cone Alley relief matters, and how to segment the marathon into bite-size goals that carry you through the hard miles. If the wall shows up, tuck into a Galloway pace group or lean on the runners beside you; conversation, music, and simple countdowns can turn a tough patch into forward motion. We wrap with a race report full of cold PRs, muddy finishes, and a spotlight on Rocket City's hat trick challenge, proving again how community turns big goals into finish-line moments. If this is your first 5K or your seventh start at 26.2, there's a plan here to make race day feel doable.Subscribe, share with a friend gearing up for Marathon Weekend, and tell us your best cold-weather or spectating tip in a review—we'll feature our favorites on a future episode.Send us a textSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

Huntsville muralist Jessie Andrews returns to Beyond Rockets with a four-year update that's hard to miss—literally. From her chandelier in “Chandelier Alley” behind 106 Jefferson, to Good Fortune at MidCity, to multiple pieces at The Orion Amphitheater, Jessie breaks down the making of Huntsville's largest mural at Stella: a 2.5-year journey with five months on the lift, winter pauses, and a toolkit that ranges from squiggle grids and projectors to mixed reality with Meta Quest. We get into creative control vs. client vision, timelines, budgets, and why signing your work matters. Jessie also shares practical advice for aspiring muralists—how to get that first wall, when to take smaller budgets for portfolio wins, and the “next best step” mindset that keeps her moving. Plus, a peek at what's next, including new work for Mellow Mushroom and the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. If you've snapped photos of Huntsville's murals, there's a good chance you've already met Jessie's work.https://www.instagram.com/honeyblood.muralco/SponsorYellowhammer is a local craft brewery serving Huntsville for the past 14 years.
