Podcasts about Samuels

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a pair of fantastic music makers who also happen to be… women in music. That's their joke, not mine—you'll hear. It's Johanna Samuels and Madison Cunningham. Though she's from New York, Johanna Samuels' music has always had West Coast vibes—it makes perfect sense that she now calls Los Angeles home. Her latest album, Sorry, Kid, just came out, and it's got an interesting backstory: The songs were written years ago but never finished, and there were false starts making them work this time around. But she found a great collaborator in Jonathan Rado—you'll hear her refer to “Rado” a bunch in this chat—and finally broke through to a stunning set of mellow, downcast songs. You'll hear the influence of Aimee Mann, Tom Petty, Elliott Smith—if those are your thing, give it a close listen.  The other half of today's conversation, Madison Cunningham, plays a little bit on Samuels' record. The two are old friends, and you may have heard Cunningham in a variety of disparate places over the years: She played with Andrew Bird, and the two covered the lone Buckingham-Nicks album together. She's toured with big names, including Harry Styles. Her 2022 album, Revealer, won the Grammy for Best Folk Album. Cunningham's third album, Ace, was released late last year, and it's a winning left turn—less guitar, more piano, a little weirder than ever before. Check out the Samuels' track “Rare,” which features some playing and singing from Cunningham. This episode was recorded with our guests in the same room, and you can hear the friendly energy these two have. They joke around about being “women in music” as well as the long road to Samuels' album, Fiona Apple, Tom Petty, and much, much more. I hope you enjoy listening as much as they did recording.

In this episode of Pro Mindset® Podcast, host Craig Domann sits down with former 4-star prospect, Elite 11 quarterback, European champion, and LockedinQB coach, KJ Carta-Samuels. They explore the power of letting go of rigid expectations in sports, coaching, and everyday life. From navigating the shift toward athletic flow state to protecting high performers from the pitfalls of over-coaching, anxiety, and robotic perfectionism, KJ's insight on body awareness, internal competition, and core discipline provides a vital playbook for growth.KJ shares his experiences with building intentional athletic habits, the critical role of accepting failure in long-term success, and why ignoring personal flow can derail an athlete's dream of reaching their full potential. He emphasizes the importance of adaptability, managing internal mindsets over short-term mechanical fixes, and maintaining mental clarity in high-stakes environments. KJ also highlights the vital role of individual feel over rigid technique and embracing the lifelong journey of mastering your craft.In this conversation, KJ balances his quarterback mechanics expertise with years of deep collegiate, international, and virtual coaching growth. His mutual respect with Craig shines through this conversation. It's a reminder that Craig entered this business not to guard territory, but to help people achieve their goals and dreams — and KJ's collaborative approach to building elite mindsets is living proof of that.Episode Takeaways: 

Samuel delivers a farewell address to Israel as he transitions from the role of judge to Saul's kingship, defending his integrity and recounting God's historical deliverance of the nation. He warns the people that their demand for an earthly king was a rejection of God's direct rule but demonstrates God's faithfulness by sending thunder and rain during the wheat harvest. Despite their sin, Samuel assures Israel that God will not forsake them for His great name and commits to continuing his intercession and teaching. The sermon emphasizes the necessity of fearing the Lord and serving Him with all one's heart while remembering His past blessings. It concludes by highlighting the immediate consequences of Saul's impatience and failure to wait on God, illustrating the dangers of self-reliance over divine timing.

För att förstå gamla texter måste vi först låta dem vara döda och sedan väcka dem till liv. Ola Wikander ger sin syn på hur vi kan närma oss berättelser från forna tider. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2019-09-26.”Varför skall man studera gamla texter?” frågar man ibland, med ett slags outsagd förförståelse att världen väl egentligen började 1945 (eller kanske till och med 1991 eller 2001). När jag inleder min undervisning i bibelhebreiska brukar jag inte sällan tala om möjligheten sådana texter ger att komma nära forna tiders tankar och människor, att överbrygga avståndet mellan dem och oss – och för en stund rycka oss ur den idéhistoriska dvala som identifierar modernt med gott. Det kan handla om texter som präglat stora delar av mänsklighetens idéhistoria. Så är det med de bekanta och ständigt lästa religiösa urkunder som man helt inte kan tänka bort ur vår tankevärld. I synnerhet då kan systematiska, gärna vetenskapligt exegetiska, studier av dem illustrera inte bara hur människor tänkt för länge sedan utan också hur deras tankar tagits över, hur de förändrats och än i dag påverkar världen omkring oss, och kanske oss själva. Och så är det helt enkelt väldigt fascinerande och spännande att läsa, låt säga, en antik text som något ur den Hebreiska Bibeln, Bhagavad-Gītā eller Homeros epos på deras egna språk, analysera varenda verbform, förstå referenser, återskapa ljuden och tankarna och den värld texten bär inom sig. Och så långt allt väl.Men det räcker inte. Det räcker nämligen inte att läsa – och heller inte att ”känna in” texten och vad man kanske tycker att den säger en personligen – i den situation i vilken man lever eller i ljuset av de ideologiska föreställningar man råkar hålla sig med. Risken för kritiklöst dåtidsförhärligande är lika förförisk som den för nutidsdyrkan. Och ännu viktigare: ett allmänt konservativt vurmande för och ”uppdaterande” av de tider och tankar som flytt hotar att dölja vad som faktiskt en gång tänktes och fanns. Det finns ingen text som inte tillkommit i ett historiskt sammanhang, och även de senare tidpunkter då de lästs och omtolkats har burits av ett sådant. Så är det naturligtvis också med oss som läser dem idag.För att komma svunna tiders tankar och människor närmare tycker jag – paradoxalt kanske en del skulle säga – att det är avståndet som ofta måste framhävas. Just genom att understryka hur annorlunda deras tänkande ofta var kan vi notera de saker som i någon mening kan anses vara ”allmänmänskliga”. Man måste med andra ord låta texten vara död.Men inte heller det räcker ensamt. Gamla testamentet berättar en egenartad och lite tragisk historia om hur den israelitiske konungen Saul i ett mörkt ögonblick konsulterade en häxa eller spåkvinna i orten En-Dor för att få tala med profeten Samuels ande, och det är i överförd bemärkelse något sådant textforskaren själv får ägna sig åt – man måste besvärja texten, frammana den – låta den döde tala. Med andra ord: göra sig själv till en textens nekromantiker. Konsekvensen av allt detta blir att man försätter sig i den paradoxala situation där man ser texten som på en gång död och bunden till dess ursprungliga historiska situation och bärande på en skattkammare av innebörd.En sådan metod leder delvis till vad några skulle uppfatta som en viss kyla. Man måste öva sig i att inte bli provocerad av vad man läser – just därför att våra moderna idéer ibland kan krocka med materialet och sätta sig som en bromskloss mellan den nutida läsaren och det han eller hon studerar. Ett exempel på detta råkade jag själv ut för under studentåren, när jag studerade Bhagavad-Gītā, hinduismens kanske mest älskade text, först i översättning och sedan på sanskrit. Den texten har som ramberättelse det stora, mytiska slaget vid Kurukṣetra, där två grenar av samma jättelika aristokratiska familj står beredda att bekriga varandra med stridsvagnar, hästar, och bågar. I det läget bryter den hjältemodige prins Arjuna ihop. Han vill inte slåss med sina släktingar. Men hans körsven, som råkar vara identisk med gudainkarnationen Kṛṣṇa, råder honom att göra sin plikt, varefter han börjar ett långt undervisande tal om meditation, försakelse och förtröstan på Herren som vägen till andlig befrielse. Detta tal är själva centrum i berättelsen, men första gången jag läste den studsade jag istället på Arjunas invändningar: man kan inte slåss mot sin släkt, argumenterar han, för då kan släktens kvinnor gå förlorade – och kastblandning kan uppstå! När jag läste detta satte jag i halsen – den aristokratiska ideologin framstod för mig som djupt frånstötande.Problemet var bara att detta för många modern västerländska läsare motbjudande tankegods inte var textens centrala budskap. Tvärtom var det vad den aristokratiske åhöraren för sisådär 2000 år sedan i Indien kunde förväntas ta för givet. Poängen är att man skall identifiera sig med Arjuna, och sedan lyssna på Kṛṣṇas teologiska utläggning, som utgör de kvarvarande 16 kapitlen av texten. Jag hade bara hunnit till kapitel 2.Den historien lärde mig att man för att förstå en texts budskap just måste försöka mentalt återskapa det som en gång var ”självklara” bakgrundsvärderingar – inte för att man håller med om dem, inte alls – utan för att kunna få en insikt i vad budskapet egentligen var menat att vara. Faktum är att det är just så man kan visa just detta att världen inte startade i mitten på 1900-talet – nämligen genom att visa hur genuint annorlunda värderingarna varit i andra miljöer.Men detta menar jag naturligtvis inte att det skulle vara omöjligt att hitta mer allmänmänskliga saker eller komma de forntida tänkarna genuint nära. Nej, sådant sker, och när det faktiskt gör det känns det verkligen som att man på ett nästan magiskt sätt slagit en brygga mellan nu och då. Men ”textdödandet” och ”textnekromantin” är båda lika nödvändiga steg i det arbetet. För att läsa en antik text – kanske i synnerhet sådana som i någon mening ”lever” i samhället än idag – måste man både ha en stark öppenhet för och inlevelse i miljöer och tankar som kan kännas både främmande, fantastiska, upplyftande och motbjudande – och en kyla och ett mentalt avstånd, som håller tillbaka den förföriska önskan att läsa ”för oss själva” – att göra läsarens eget perspektiv till det avgörande och texten bara till en spegel för läsarens egna idéer. Det måste gå åt båda håll, i ett slags hegeliansk spiral, där tolkandet av texten påverkar läsaren, som då kan förstå texten ännu bättre, ständigt uppåt i en avslöjande resa, som visar hur varje tanke fötts, meddelats och tolkats i ett sammanhang.Om vi gör så kan vi plötsligt faktiskt bli som häxan i En-Dor: verkliga besvärjare som kan återskapa tankevärldar som varit döda i tusentals år. Typiskt nog har texten om häxan betraktats som besvärande av en del senare tänkare, som stått långt från den miljö då den kom till – man såg det som ett problem att själva Bibeln framställer det som möjligt att frammana andar, vilket illustrerar problematiken med att på en gång vara ”för nära” och för ”långt bort”. Men som textnekromantiker som jag ingen anledning att beklaga mig över denna bibeltolkning. För dessa tankar och den historiska kontext de tillkommer i, är ju en del av texternas världsarv. Texten lever, just genom att man låter den vara död.Ola Wikander, teolog, författare och översättare

First Days of School Reminders William D. Parker This post is reprinted from an archived one we shared in 2019. Jenny is a returning student at her high school. She has a part-time job, which keeps her up late most nights. When she arrives late to school, she has already missed breakfast, and she's tardy. She stands in a long line at the counseling office until she is given her class schedule. She reads it quickly: First hour, Mr. Samuels, room 125, Algebra II. She doesn't recognize the name. Maybe he's one of the new teachers. She heads down the hall. She's flush with frustration but holds her head high, turns the corner, and steps into the classroom. She finds an open seat in the back of the room. As she glances around the room, she does not see the teacher's name anywhere. By this time, she's too embarrassed to ask, and the teacher is so involved in his first-day-of-school speech that he hasn't paused to ask Jenny for her name or schedule or given her any other leads. As he talks on, she realizes this is Language Arts, not a math class. She must have entered the wrong room or misread her schedule. Jenny endures the discomfort for the remaining minutes. Then she rushes from the class as quickly as possible, frustrated and hoping the rest of her first day of school is not this confusing. Keeping Students in Mind As important as it is to keep your responsibilities in mind as you start a new school year, it is even more important to keep the end goal in mind: serving students. You have students returning from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences. You also serve teachers, staff, and parents with questions and concerns. How can you be ready for all of them? Questions Every Student Is Asking on the First Day As you know, how we prepare for students can either help or hurt their first-day experiences. Harry Wong, author of The First Days of School: How to Be an Effective Teacher, reminds us of seven questions every student asks about his or her teachers: Am I in the right room? Where am I supposed to sit? Who is the teacher as a person? Will the teacher treat me as a human being? What are the rules in this classroom? What will I be doing this year? How will I be graded? Questions Every Teacher and Staff Person Asks on the First Day But students aren't the only ones who need clarity. Your teachers and staff also want answers to some questions that only school leaders can answer. So, I've rewritten Harry Wong's questions to reflect what your teachers and staff will be asking: What is my schedule? What extra duties, assignments, or activities might I expect? Who is my administrator as a person? Will he or she treat me as a human being? What are the expectations, procedures, and policies in our school? What am I expected to accomplish this year? How will I be evaluated, mentored, graded, or coached? Tips for School Leaders Preparing for School With those thoughts in mind, in this week's Principal Matters podcast, co-host Jen Schwanke and I share six ideas to keep in mind when preparing for the start of school. Listen to the podcast version for even more stories and takeaways. 1. Build and Rebuild Relationships As teachers, staff, or parents return to your building, how are you reconnecting with them? Whether it's hearing about summer trips, family updates, or meaningful moments in their lives, these conversations are important for building trust. They also open questions your teammates may have that are important for you to answer before school begins. 2. Use Technology and Social Media Jen likes to schedule several reminders to her community through social media that she posts throughout the summer. Whether you are using your school website, school-wide communication apps, or social media, share important announcements and reminders several times throughout the summer to set expectations for the new school year. 3. Organize and Manage—Remember Everything! Obviously, no system is perfect, but as you move into a school year, it is important to keep a list of to-dos for your team and yourself. One way to do this is to maintain a list as you start the year that you can use again the following year or years. Go through last year's calendar to see if you're missing anything. Rely on a team—secretaries, assistants, and lead teachers—who can help you stay on track. 4. Define Responsibilities Sometimes principals have well-defined expectations for teachers but forget about non-instructional staff. Consider working with each staff member on well-defined key responsibility areas. You can learn more and see samples in previous posts. With teachers and staff, don't be afraid to say what is expected and provide it in writing. 5. Manage High Anxiety Everyone is anxious, in good or bad ways, about the start of school. They are looking to the principal to set the tone. Manage the high anxiety by demonstrating a sense of calm and reassurance. One way to do this is by including celebration in your welcome back. Provide lunch, give them a gift, communicate positivity, and reassure them again and again that it will be a great year and all will be well. 6. Host Orientation Meetings New teachers, returning teachers, new students, returning students, and new parents—you will have several groups who need to be welcomed in orientation meetings. Each group will have different needs, but the goals are the same: communicate expectations, be positive, and be available to answer questions. Additional Checklists for the School Leader's First Days of School Here are some additional questions to ask as you start the school year: Have you posted “Welcome Back” signage? Have you included maps of your school for new students? Is signage clear and visible throughout the building? Have you shared master schedules in advance with teachers? What are your established arrival and departure routines? Did you update and plan for consistently implemented policies and procedures? Have parents and students been invited to an orientation or open house before school? Is your school website updated with current calendars, a welcome-back message for parents, and key information they should know? Have you updated and shared duty rosters, activities, and/or game calendars for teachers? Does your own calendar include dates for state reports, observations, evaluations, and team meetings? Let's Wrap This Up Think through your school-wide processes from the fresh perspective of a student, parent, or teacher, and then decide what steps to take moving forward so that everyone in your school or organization has clarity on what to expect. Most importantly, remember that creating the best “first days” for students and staff also means realizing your school members need many of these questions answered every day.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Julie Samuels, the founder, president, and CEO of Tech:NYC, a network of technology leaders dedicated to fostering a dynamic, diverse, and creative New York. Launched in 2016, Tech:NYC operates at the intersection of business, government, academia, and philanthropy, convening leaders to strengthen New York's innovation economy through policy, partnerships, and programs. We begin with some of Samuels's formative experiences at the intersection of technology and policy: a college internship at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, work as an IP lawyer and at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and her leadership of Engine, the national nonprofit focused on technology entrepreneurship and advocacy. We also discuss the context and conditions that would inform the launch of Tech:NYC: the groundwork laid by the Bloomberg Administration to foster the growth of the city's tech sector, a critical mass of tech firms in the city, and industry leaders like Fred Wilson, Kevin Ryan and Tim Armstrong who recognized that better and coordinated leadership could help shape New York's continued growth as the country (and world's) number two tech hub behind Silicon Valley. Samuels is passionate about the technology-city nexus. "Tech culture and tech zeitgeist really lend themselves to an urbanist way of seeing the world," she says. "People in tech have a systems framework, and big urban centers like New York are all about systems — think about things like public transit. This makes for natural connection between tech and urban centers." She notes that New York has been particularly successful in tech because of the diversity of its other industries: companies can apply and test technologies developed on the West Coast to other markets, from financial services and health care to real estate, hospitality, media, fashion, or wherever New York is the world's "center of gravity." According to Samuels, these dynamics underpin the sector's extraordinary growth: today technology is the city's fastest growing industry with over $30 billion in annual venture capital flowing to 25,000 startups and accounting for 300,000 jobs (64 percent growth over the last decade, 41 percent of net job growth since 2019) and nine percent of the Gross City Product. Samuels underscores the cultural reasons this growth is durable: "Tech is a creative industry," she explains. "It benefits from the creative energy of a big city… density, networks of different kinds of people, cultural institutions, night life. When I lived in San Francisco, I would meet tech people who lived in SF. Here, we have New Yorkers who work in tech." Tech:NYC's work has evolved over the last ten years, while remaining true to its mission "to ensure New York City is the best place to start and grow a tech company." For Samuels, this mission is two-fold: create the conditions for the tech industry to thrive and integrate technology into the life of the city in ways that uplift everyone. "As tech radically changes how all of us live and work," Samuels says, "Tech:NYC exists to ensure transition is as smooth as possible." As a research and policy advocacy organization, Tech:NYC focused its early years primarily on technology policy and the role of the tech sector in the city and state's larger economy. Today, Samuels notes, while Tech:NYC still works closely on tech policy — things like data privacy, broadband, or public private partnerships like Empire AI, which will provide state-of-the-art power for New York's top University researchers to develop safe, equitable, and responsible AI — it is also focused more broadly on basic "livability" issues like housing, education, and public safety that allow people to live, work and raise families in New York.  Tech:NYC's work also extends to programs like Decoded Futures, a capacity-building AI initiative that equips leaders from the social sector with the tools and skills to use AI to scale their impact, and the Grid Fellowship, which connects technology leaders with New York's public sector. And since its earliest days, Tech:NYC has undertaken many initiatives in K-12 and higher education and workforce development to invest in the participation of all New Yorkers in the tech economy. We discuss the challenges of the current moment, including the advent of AI and its attending economic and political complexities. Ultimately, Samuels says, "Progress is real; we're strivers, builders, creators. Let's lean into that, and make sure growth happens with intention and with the right guardrails. New York can lead on this."   Mentioned in this episode: Tech:NYC Built to Lead: New York's Momentum Toward Global Leadership in Applied AI, (Tech:NYC and Accenture, 2025)

Art advisor Erica Samuels joins Josh Baer on the floor at Art Basel for a candid conversation about how the best advisors actually work — from building client PDFs and curating "mini collections" to navigating conflicts when two clients want the same piece. They dig into the difference between buying with your eyes versus your ears, the debate over storytelling as a sales tool, fee structures (retainer vs. commission vs. combination), and the ethics of working only with sellers who control the picture. Plus: a spirited round of "top five living American artists," starter art, and why there's always more art — but maybe not always more great art. This episode of The Baer Faxt Live was recorded on Wednesday June 17th, 2026. This edition of The Baer Faxt Live is sponsored by Manuela New York by ArtFarm, a neighborhood restaurant and bar in the heart of SoHo which celebrates the best of New York's seasonal produce and has art at its heart.

Bestie, you might want to grab a notebook for this one. This week, we're joined by TV writer turned matchmaker, dating coach, and author of Your Last First Date: Secrets From a Hollywood Matchmaker, Jaydi Samuels Kuba, to break down what it actually takes to find lasting love in today's dating world. We get into modern dating, matchmaking, dating apps, dealbreakers, and why so many of us may be searching for love the wrong way.  We talk about the difference between preferences and true dealbreakers, why instant chemistry isn't always the best predictor of long-term compatibility, and how an endless checklist can keep us from seeing the people who are actually right for us. Jaydi also shares how she accidentally matched herself with her now-husband, what she's learned after helping countless couples find love, and why lasting relationships are built on shared values - not just the fact that you both love dogs, hiking, and spicy margs.

At first glance, the Book of Ruth reads like a beautifully crafted ancient short story. But beneath the surface lies a profound theological masterclass that shifts the entire trajectory of biblical history. Coupled with Samuels rise to power this weeks Come Follow Me shines light in what has been a dark period of history.

The first major primary battle in the 2026 U.S. midterm elections resulted in a significant victory for AIPAC and other pro-Israel megadonors, but Haaretz's Washington correspondent Ben Samuels warned that their celebrations could be premature. The defeat of Representative Thomas Massie – a rare Republican antagonist of U.S. President Donald Trump and harsh critic of Israel whom AIPAC "has wanted to take down for years" – happened after more than $30 million was spent to defeat him in what was the most expensive Congressional primary in American history. Massie was targeted by Trump and his supporters for his disloyalty to the U.S. leader. "They may have won the battle with Thomas Massie, but it's very clear that the ideology and the agenda and the vision that Thomas Massie embodies is not going anywhere – especially with younger voters and also with voters on the progressive left flank that found themselves to be weird ideological allies with this guy," Samuels told the Haaretz Podcast. Samuels also discussed the role that Israel and Iran are playing on the campaign trail, and the contradictory messages from the Trump White House on the drawn-out negotiations toward a potential agreement with Iran. "So little was actually accomplished from the kinetic military campaign that the United States and Israel launched, that any sort of negotiation that Trump is trying to eventually spin as a win wouldn't actually be that much of a win," Samuels said. It would just be moving the goalposts back." Samuels was skeptical regarding reports that Trump is blaming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for dragging him into the Iran war – and that the U.S. is subsequently not keeping Israel in the loop regarding negotiations – as well as theories that the U.S. leader has soured on Netanyahu after singing his praises early in the war. "If anything, Trump defies the odds and brings himself closer to Bibi. That being said, there is no doubt that Israel is effectively being sidelined in these current negotiations."

Antonia Barnett McIntosh is a Tāmaki-based Composer, performer, sound artist, editor and curator. Her multidisciplinary practice often seeks out various modes of connection through collaboration. Collaborating between the threshold spaces of speech/music, performance/rehearsal, composition/writing. Drawing connections between mediums, finding this  mutual thread between artistic outputs to build upon. Often working with musicians, dancers, poets, visual artists, and Filmmakers.  In her current exhibition at RM, A Ponder of Transported Local Delicacies Barnett McIntosh presents a beautiful sound installation which comprises captured moments of field recordings, and speech. Applying this musical thought to speech, that approaches speech as an instrument in istelf—tunning into its inherent musicality. Reflecting on this in-between state of the live and the documented dwelling in one's mind and body.  The sound work itself is dispersed across four channels, creating a dynamic sonic landscape that morphs and shifts, as one moves around the space. Alongside the sound installation Barnett McIntosh offers this secondary mode of documentation within the show text, through a piece of writing, by writer Lisa Samuels. Samuels will also be involved in a collaborative activation of the gallery space with Barnett McIntosh, through a series of performances. Emphasising the active liveliness of the gallery space and the circulative artistic discourse.  Maya caught up with Antonia about the show, as well as her overall practice.

When a hardworking Hollywood cameraman is found shot dead in his Los Angeles home, police initially assume it's a burglary gone wrong. With no forced entry and no stolen items, however, the investigation turns to personal vendettas, ultimately leading to the discovery of an additional linked murder and landing one of the perpetrators on death row.Sources:1.

A new report shows access to nearby nature in the U.S. is not equal and the gap is closely tied to race and income. Researchers say Indigenous communities are among those most affected. The Mountain West News Bureau's Kaleb Roedel has more. Communities of color are three times more likely than white communities to live in places with severe nature loss — fewer parks, fewer trees, more pollution. That is thanks in part to resource extraction and the rapid development of natural spaces. Researchers say that is significant for tribal areas, where land is closely tied to cultural traditions and food systems. Rena Payan with Justice Outside, which co-produced the report, says losing nearby nature isn't just about scenery. “Nature deprivation isn’t just about the aesthetics of who has access to ‘big nature.' It’s also about who has access to clean air and clean water.” The report also highlights Indigenous-led solutions. On the Navajo Nation, local groups are restoring native grasslands and wildlife habitat. In Alaska, Native organizations are protecting salmon streams and coastal ecosystems that support subsistence. Researchers say efforts grounded in Indigenous stewardship could help close what they call the nation's growing nature gap. Reliable high-speed internet is still out of reach for many tribal communities. A new report highlights ongoing barriers to broadband access in Indian Country. Daniel Spaulding has more. The report from the Urban Institute says many Indigenous communities lack reliable high-speed internet, especially in rural areas. Recent federal investments have helped expand broadband in some tribal communities, but gaps remain. Tomi Rajninger is a co-author of the report. “In certain parts of the country, especially in Indian Country and a lot of rural communities, folks have a lot less access to high speed broadband than other parts of the U.S.” The Urban Institute's Gabe Samuels says geography is one of the biggest challenges. “Because of the historic way where a lot of tribes are relocated, they’re often located in maybe more remote rural areas that are physically harder to access, it’s just kind of compounds the challenge to accessing.” Rajninger and Samuels both say allowing tribes to manage their own broadband infrastructure will be key to improving access. American bison inside a pen at Genesee Park near Golden, Colo. on March 6, 2026. (Courtesy Denver Parks and Recreation) American bison are a symbol of the West that might have vanished from this landscape entirely, if not for conservation efforts. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, the city of Denver donates bison from a long-established herd to tribes and nonprofits each year. Snow powdered the 34 bison inside a pen while tribes blessed them. Eleven went to the Navajo Nation. The rest were sent to the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, a Lakota nonprofit, Buffalo First, in South Dakota, and the Denver-based Tall Bull Memorial Council. This keystone species once roamed the Great Plains, but faced the brink of extinction. In 1908, the Denver Zoo had only 18 animals left in captivity, but they would help form a herd near Golden, Colo. The city has transferred more than 170 buffalo into tribal hands. (Courtesy Six Nations Iroquois Cultural Center) In New York state, more than 900 acres of land is returning to Indigenous care. The Six Nations Iroquois Cultural Center, Paul Smith's College, the Nature Conservancy, and the Adirondack Land Trust joined in the land-back partnership.

Following the hastily arranged three-hour meeting between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, it still remains unclear whether a military attack on Iran is in the cards, but the two leaders appear “more aligned than not” on their positions, Haaretz’s Washington D.C. correspondent Ben Samuels said on the Haaretz Podcast. “Whether or not that turns into a world war remains to be seen,” he added, in view of the “Armada in the Middle East and more military assets on their way” that the United States has positioned around Iran to keep the option of a military move on the table. Netanyahu rushed to Washington to lobby Trump to hold firm in his negotiations with Iran to include demands beyond a halt to their nuclear program. The Israeli position is that in order to forestall an attack, Iran must be forced to limit their ballistic missile capabilities and support for regional proxy organizations – in addition to a commitment from Tehran to improve its treatment of protesters, who have been killed in the tens of thousands by the regime in since late December. “What you're seeing from Israel is a very articulated view that any sort of negotiation at any deal has to be all inclusive,” Samuels said. The Trump administration’s position, by contrast, he said, is far from clear. “Part of this is intentional misdirection on Trump's part, but part of it is also very unintentional. Trump is doing diplomacy by the seat of his pants and by whatever whims are taking over him at that very moment.” Read more: Analysis by Ben Samuels | Trump and Netanyahu Prioritize a United Front Over Rocking the Boat on Iran Trump Says He 'Insisted' That Negotiations With Iran Continue in Meeting With Netanyahu Netanyahu Joins Trump's Board of Peace Set to Discuss Gaza Reconstruction, Hamas Disarmament Sidelined Why This Iranian Revolution Scholar Won't Encourage Iranians to Topple the RegimeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of After Reality, I'm joined by Jaydi Samuels Kuba — a Hollywood matchmaker, dating coach, and former Family Guy writer — to talk all things modern dating and what it really takes to find a lasting relationship. Jaydi shares insights from her newly released book, Your Last First Date: Secrets From a Hollywood Matchmaker (out January 27), and breaks down why dating can feel extra complicated in high-pressure worlds like entertainment (and honestly… just in general these days).We get into her matchmaking philosophy — focusing on quality, true compatibility, and ethical boundaries, rather than promising a certain number of “matches” like some high-cost agencies. Jaydi also opens up about her own love story, including the wild (and very unconventional) way she met her husband… who was originally a client, and yes, she eventually broke her own rules.Plus, she gives practical, actionable advice you can actually use right now: how to navigate physical attraction, communicate boundaries without killing the vibe, and update your online dating profile so it reflects the real you (and attracts the right people).@matchmadeinhollywoodhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Your-Last-First-Date/Jaydi-Samuels-Kuba/9781668079645?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio Hosted on Acast.
