For many of us, this coming weekend marks the start of Daylight Saving Time, when we “spring forward” and move our clocks ahead by an hour. While the extra evening daylight can be one of the joys of the summer months, the time change has been known to disrupt our sleep. Last year we sat down with neurobiologist Jamie Zeitzer, a leading expert on sleep, to talk about practical strategies for getting a better night's rest. As we approach this transition, it's the perfect time to revisit that conversation. We hope you'll add this episode to your podcast queue and give it another listen this weekend.

What could happen if a renewable energy project fails to meet new NERC compliance requirements? In some cases, penalties can reach up to $1 million per day per violation.In this special episode of Navigating the Grid, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded for the Clean Energy Edge Podcast, where Kellie Macpherson, EVP of Compliance & Security at Radian Generation, joined host Russ Bates to discuss the evolving compliance landscape for renewable energy.Starting May 1, 2026, inverter-based resources (IBRs) rated 20 MW or greater and connected at 60 kV or higher must register under updated North American Electric Reliability Corporation Category 2 requirements. The compliance threshold is dropping from 75 MW to 20 MW, dramatically expanding federal oversight across solar, wind, and battery storage projects.In this episode, Kellie breaks down what the rule change means, which projects will be affected, and why compliance now extends beyond paperwork to include operational readiness, cybersecurity monitoring, and audit preparedness.As renewables take on a larger role in grid reliability, understanding these requirements is becoming essential for operators, developers, and investors alike.
“He's looking at me…” Released on August 22, 1989, CLIMBIN' THE WALLS, the major label debut album from Martinsburg, West Virginia thrash metal savants WRATHCHILD AMERICA, is undoubtedly one of the most uniquely profound thrash metal albums in all of heavy metal history to be crafted by one of the most extraordinarily talented (and criminally underrated) bands in the entire genre. And to think, for many metalheads back in the day, their very first experience with this album was in a LIVE concert setting, opening for Testament. Just imagine how blessed one would be to see a band as unbelievable as WRATHCHILD AMERICA (for the very first time) opening for an established act like Testament and being completely blown away after just one show, having NEVER heard the album before getting to see them LIVE! “He's making eye contact…” With a stylistic palette that blends thrash, heavy metal, and 70's classic rock, there is absolutely NO ONE else in metal who sounds ANYTHING like them. And if you're jonesing to purchase a copy of CLIMBIN' THE WALLS, not to worry, because it was recently re-released (along with their second and final album, 3-D) as part of a two-CD package with a couple of bonus tracks. “Is he still lookin' at you?” Get ready for a trip back through time to the days of yore, when thrash was still riding high and the opening band for Testament absolutely blew the minds of everyone in attendance when you JOIN US for one of the greatest and most underrated metal albums of all time with WRATHCHILD AMERICA: CLIMBIN' THE WALLS. (Also, just in case you might be wondering, there's an early (we're talking “6 years ago, during the Hodges Era” early: 02/20/2020) episode appropriately dubbed WRATHSAZ, which is a combo episode featuring both WRATHCHILD AMERICA and the darker, groovier, heavier incarnation that followed, Souls At Zero.)

In this episode of Finding Purpose with Russ Andrews, we dive into Hosea chapter 8 and the biblical role of the watchman. Drawing powerful parallels between Paul Revere's warning ride and God's prophets, Russ explains how God lovingly sends warnings before judgment. We examine Israel's rebellion, idolatry, and rejection of God's Word and what those same sins reveal about America today. This message is a sobering call to repentance, revival, and returning to God's truth before it's too late.
Will and Russ delve deep into the Iran imbroglio. On the show: What will convince the bad guys in Iran to stop? What is China taking away from what's happening? And what about those sleeper cells?
Recorded: February 6th, 2026 | Welcome back to another episode of Bussin' With The Boys. This week, Will is joined by friend of the show, Clay Matthews. Clay and Will dive into all of the headlines coming out of the NFL Combine from this past weekend. The guys get into what their experience was like at the Combine, for Will, his pro day. The boys get into what they were most nervous about and whether or not Will is more athletic than Clay. Following the intro, Will and Taylor sit down with Super Bowl champion QB Russell Wilson for a real, unfiltered conversation about football, leadership, and the grind of the last few years. The boys kick things off by asking how Russ somehow has time to do everything—business, family, football—and how long he actually wants to keep playing in the NFL. From there, he gets honest about the struggles of the last three seasons. He has bounced around the last couple years and dives into what happened in Denver between him and Sean Payton. Russ breaks down what the quarterback room is like in New York with Jaxon Dart and Jameis Winston. He also talks about his relationship with Pete Carroll while he was in Seattle. Russ gets into how Pete is able to keep his energy so high and what makes him such a great coach. Finally Russ gets into how much longer he wants to play and asks the boys what they did to prepare for life after football. He also gets into what it has been like and how he deals with the critics and “haters” when things aren’t going his way. If you’re into NFL quarterback talk, comeback seasons, leadership, Super Bowl dreams, and behind-the-scenes insight into life as one of the league’s most talked-about players, this one’s for you. Big hugs, tiny kisses.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the Rockies and debate what would be a successful season for the team. We pivot to the Broncos and react to Russell Wilson addressing his tweet in which he fired back at Sean Payton after Payton took a shot at Wilson. What did the guys make of Russ defending himself? Will the Broncos re-vamp the offensive line? Could Alex Palczewski step into Ben Powers' role is Powers is cut or traded? We react to the Nuggets winning a tight one against a bad team in the Jazz. Is it fair to be concerned with the Nuggets defensive effort after barley winning a game in which Jamal Murray shot at a superhuman rate and the team shot at a 50/40/90 rate? Zach shares the impressive stats Nathan MacKinnon is putting up this season and how he is likely on his way to another MVP trophy. Will Nate become the first Avs player ever and join Jokic as the only Denver athlete to win multiple MVP's? We react to Mike Evans' comments on Gabe Landeskog underachieving and debate if Mike is fair to criticize Landy.
AI is reshaping what it means to be a modern manufacturing professional.When a 30-year veteran retires, decades of expertise used to leave as well. How they ran a machine, which feeds and speeds worked, and all the practical knowledge that separated good from great. Now, Mastercam's AI co-pilots can capture that information and make it instantly accessible. The learning curve that used to take years can now be compressed into months, making manufacturing careers more accessible to the next generation.Chris sits down with Russ Bukowski, President of Mastercam, to explore how CAM technology has evolved from manual G-code programming to AI-powered systems that are fundamentally changing manufacturing accessibility.The conversation covers the business side of manufacturing transformation, why mid-size machine shops and tier-two suppliers are no longer at the mercy of large OEMs, the leadership lessons Russ learned from Walt Disney and why manufacturing salaries are starting at $80K+ for CNC programmers.In this episode, find out:How CAM systems act as a 10x multiplier for manufacturing professionals.The evolution from manual G-code programming to AI-powered CAM systemsWhy Mastercam's AI co-pilot is bridging the knowledge gap left by retiring manufacturing expertsHow post-COVID supply chain vulnerabilities are driving companies to vertically integrateThe power shift giving mid-size manufacturers leverage in negotiations and exclusive supplier agreementsWhy manufacturing needs to be promoted as a viable white-collar careerHow technical expertise creates leadership credibility The importance of visiting customers and talking to shop floor employeesWhat Mastercam's acquisition enabled in terms of investment, innovation, and customer relationshipsEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“AI's not a silver bullet. It's not going to replace a program or replace an operator, but it is going to enable them to do more and to move more quickly in the business.”“CAM is really that enabler. Without it, the digital design to physical machine process is slow and error-prone. It removes the cognitive burden and makes complex manufacturing possible. It's that 10x multiplier for somebody in manufacturing, making somebody a 10x manufacturing expert because they're able to deliver results so much faster by using computing power.”“I always like to ask myself this as a leader, if nobody was looking, if there were no repercussions, would I still make the right decision? From a sustainability standpoint, from an ethical standpoint, that's how I hold myself accountable.”Links & mentions:Mastercam, CAD/CAM solutions that are trusted to deliver superior and reliable machining performance with advanced productivity tools and AI-enabled CAM capabilities Tree House Brewing Company, brewers of Julius and pioneers of hazy IPA, Tree House produces world-renowned beer in Charlton, Massachusetts Make sure to visit http://manufacturinghappyhour.com for detailed show notes and a full list of resources mentioned in this episode.

This week on Mike'D Up!, Russ Hedge returns with a story of resilience, faith, and redemption. After facing stage four melanoma and the brutal realities of treatment, Russ shares how his strong faith helped him navigate through uncertainty and battle fear. He recently received the incredible news that he is cancer-free. But this is not only a story about surviving cancer. It's about choosing perspective when everything feels out of control. Rooted in the message of his book Life Happens…Then You Choose, Russ reveals how adversity can become fuel, how mindset shapes meaning, and why hope is a decision we make daily. When we are weak, God is our strength. Beyond the diagnosis, this conversation dives into leadership, business, and relationships. It pinpoints why community always supercedes audience. An audience tunes in…a real community participates. It unpacks how service builds trust, and how authentic connections always outlast forced transactional selling. Life will happen. The question is: what will you choose to do next? If you're facing a battle, building something meaningful, or searching for clarity in the middle of uncertainty, this episode will remind you that your perspective, along with strong faith, is your ultimate power.

This week on Beer'd Al Podcast, Lauren and Russ dive into “(This Song's Just) Six Words Long,” Weird Al Yankovic's brilliantly minimalist parody of George Harrison — and yes, we manage to say far more than six words about it.Joining us is the effervescent (we stand by that word) UHJeff — aka Jeff Nucera — filmmaker, television producer, documentary director, and longtime member of Al's extended creative orbit. Jeff's film Tight & Nerdy is currently making the rounds on the festival circuit and has already taken home the Audience Selection Award at SF Indiefest (wowie!). When he's not behind the camera, Jeff has spent decades working alongside Weird Al himself — from writing thousands of trivia questions for Al's Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour to sorting fan mail, a role he's proudly held since 2001.Together, we unpack the song's origins, its place in parody history, and why a track built on repetition is still endlessly funny decades later. Along the way, we share plenty of laughs as we celebrate one of Al's most deceptively simple comedic gems.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.
