John got hung up in the recent storms and was trapped at various airports so thankfully - democratic strategist Max Burns jumped in last minute and helped out. Max Burns takes the reins diving into Trump's recent comments about Cuba, where he mistakenly claims the island is not in a hurricane zone.

Then, joining Max is Salt Lake City Council member Ava Lopez Chavez, who brings to light the alarming news that the Department of Homeland Security has secretly negotiated a deal to turn a warehouse in Salt Lake City into one of the nation's largest immigrant detention camps. Ava passionately discusses the implications of this deal, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in government actions that affect local communities. As the conversation unfolds, veteran journalist Brian Karam joins to provide his perspective on the ongoing chaos in Washington. He highlights the dysfunction within Congress and the alarming shift towards voter suppression tactics, particularly through the proposed Save America act. Brian's insights shed light on the potential consequences of these actions for American democracy and the urgent need for civic engagement.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959) may be the most controversial album in jazz history, and one of the most important.In 1959, a broke musician from Fort Worth, Texas arrived in New York City with a plastic saxophone and a band that didn't play by the rules.

Dizzy Gillespie said Ornette's music wasn't even jazz. Meanwhile, Leonard Berstein and John Coltrane celebrated him.So what exactly is The Shape of Jazz to Come, and why was it so radical? Jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness break down every track, from "Lonely Woman" to "Chronology". They dig into harmolodics, free jazz, and how Ornette shaped everyone from Miles Davis (who eventually came around) to the '80s burnout crew, including Wynton Marsalis, who personally recommended this record to Peter.Dig into The Shape of Jazz to Come with us, and learn why this soft spoken saxophonist inspired both criticism and awe.-------------------------------Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs:https://openstudiojazz.com/yhi-------------------------------Related You'll Hear It episodes:Mingus Ah Um: https://youtu.be/XYeRZ0Awui4Giant Steps: https://youtu.be/8umC2yZlPHcKind of Blue: https://youtu.be/ShzSnjP8bSgTime Out: https://youtu.be/-_qPhFSJeQUNina Simone at Town Hall: https://youtu.be/2PDjN5_2y5Q-------------------------------About You'll Hear It:In this popular music series Adam and Peter break down the greatest albums of all time.

Send a textRebecca Delahunt, director of public policy for Minnesota Family Council, joined Liz Collin on her podcast and talked about the latest developments with the so-called Equal Rights Amendment.Among her many concerns, Delahunt explained that "if this were to pass, it would give much higher legal protection for males to be housed at Shakopee,” Minnesota's prison for women. She said it could also lead to protections in the state constitution that would allow criminals to change their names and birth certificates and “practically disappear without a court order.”Support the show

Hope doesn't always look heroic. Sometimes it's a nine-year-old whispering a fearful prayer, a college student lying on the floor searching for sleep, or a friend deciding to make one more call before the dark closes in. We sat down with Author, Podcast Host and Psychology student Andelina Storm to trace how childhood loss led to OCD and anxiety, how depression blindsided her in college, and how faith and practical tools helped her trade control for peace. Her message is simple and hard: put a comma in your story, not a period.Andelina shares the moment a friend's suicide reshaped her path and why she became a Promise To Live ambassador, turning grief into a mission to interrupt the ripple of silence. We unpack the difference between everyday nerves and clinical anxiety, why stigma still lingers even as awareness grows, and how small, repeatable habits create room for breath—sleep rhythms, grounding exercises, community check-ins, sunlight, music, and even the quiet medicine of petting a dog. She explains how she channels obsessive tendencies into useful structure and why depression, more than anxiety, demanded a new playbook.We also explore her debut book, Sanity in the Storm, and her podcast, Peace in the Storm, where she blends scripture with evidence-based coping strategies to meet Gen Z where they are. For skeptics and believers alike, Andelina treats the Bible as durable wisdom for restless minds, pairing it with psychology to build an integrated approach to mental health. You'll hear a moving cameo from her father on the hidden cost families carry—and the fierce pride of watching a daughter choose life, again and again.If you or someone you love is walking through heavy weather, this conversation offers both compass and company.

In the latest episode, Jon Fugelsang takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through the current state of American politics, focusing on two major topics: the escalating conflict in Iran and the chaotic Republican primary in Texas. As the Pentagon reports casualties from military actions, Fugelsang emphasizes the lack of clarity regarding the U.S. government's strategy in the region. He highlights the disapproval among Americans regarding these military actions, with a staggering statistic showing that only one in four citizens supports the strikes against Iran. Alongside Fugelsang is podcaster Bob Seska, who adds his unique perspective to the discussion. The duo delves into the implications of the recent Senate votes that have allowed President Trump to wield unchecked power in matters of war. They explore the constitutional responsibilities of Congress and the alarming trend of Republican senators siding with the President rather than upholding their duties as checks and balances. Next, The God Squad is back to discuss the cross between religion and politics. And finally Dr. Tracy Pearson joins the crew to give her legal expertise to listener's questions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today - John discusses the administrations reasoning for the war in Iran which continued to shift and bend depending on the official and the outlet wishing to know. Meanwhile, attention has shifted to the Strait of Hormuz and oil tankers' ability to safely exit a region long patrolled by Iran. Ships from Britain and France will enter the region to chaperone tankers through the region, but Donald Trump says critical nations that refuse to help, like Spain, will instead see embargoed trade. John also talks about the right wing Christian Nationalists who are pushing for war because they believe the apocalypse will bring Jesus back to earth.

Rev Chris Jimmerson's service delivered on March 1, 2026. As the song says, "Well, you know, we all want to change the world." The thing is, we can't romanticize the revolution. Revolutions can be hard and messy, and last beyond singular lifetimes. The world resists change mightily, at times with the starving of souls and the spilling of blood. How do we sustain ourselves through the long revolution? Perhaps, in the words of author and justice activist Dorothy Roberts, "We have to start with ourselves, and our most intimate relationships..." Perhaps we start by building what have been called "Islands of Sanity" together.

The hosts preview an upcoming Patreon episode about self-hosted, locally run AI for clients who want AI-powered editing without sending sensitive content to cloud services like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Jerry describes setting up a local AI system for a client to refresh medically based academic writings while keeping privacy, noting most of the solution was free aside from the computer, and contrasts this with internet-connected autonomous AI bots that require credentials and could be influenced by other bots online. The conversation broadens into Patreon topics about business operations, client attrition and return, and discussing sensitive client situations more freely.   They discuss hardware and product preferences, including choosing iPhone models (with repeated recommendations for an iPhone Pro), interest in a MacBook with built-in cellular to avoid carrier hotspot throttling, and debates about MacBook Pro battery life versus MacBook Air. Sam explains he switched work email to Outlook on Mac and iPhone due to Apple Mail reliability issues and to better separate work from personal notifications, while others compare Apple Mail smart mailboxes to Outlook's saved searches and discuss organizing workflows with smart folders and flags.   Sam recounts testing whether an iPad could serve as a second travel workstation for a client who relies on an on-prem Mac server (SMB file sharing and FileMaker Server). They run into clunky SMB workflows in iPad Files/Word, inability to favorite deep SMB paths, OneDrive-first behavior in Word, and a FileMaker version mismatch where an older iPad (limited to iOS 16) can't connect to the newer FileMaker server. They consider shortcuts like web clips but conclude a second MacBook would be simpler.   The episode also covers a bug on iOS/macOS 26 where Microsoft 365 accounts in Apple's native Internet Accounts setup appear authenticated but don't actually work, leading them to use Outlook as a workaround and consider resetting MFA/credentials. They close with a story about extending the usability of a 10-year-old MacBook Pro by installing Firefox ESR, and discuss typical Mac lifespan expectations and guidance for clients on replacement timelines.   00:00 Self‑Hosted AI Teaser: Keeping Client Content Private 02:20 Wild West AI Agents: Credentials, Bot Networks & Security Risks 03:34 On‑Prem vs Cloud (and Why VPN Matters) 05:19 Patreon Plug: Business Ops, Client Attrition & "Juicy Stories" 08:16 iPhone Upgrade Debate: Pro vs Air, Foldables & Pro Cameras 09:04 Dream MacBook Features: Built‑In Cellular, OLED & Battery Life 15:42 Switching Mail Clients: Outlook for Work, Sanity on iPhone 18:28 Email Overload & Smart Mailboxes: Apple Mail vs Outlook Searches 26:56 iPad as a Work Device?

If you're looking for a way to improve your fitness, boost your mental health, and reconnect with a deeply human activity — all without going to the gym or pounding your knees on a daily run — then rucking may be the practice you've been looking for.Rucking is simple: throw some weight on your back and start walking. But a little context and a few key tips can make it a safer, more effective, and more satisfying experience. Here to unpack those principles and practicals is Michael Easter, author of Walk With Weight: The Definitive Guide to Rucking. Michael and I first explore the evolutionary and military history of carrying load. We then dive into why rucking is perhaps the most accessible form of training for strength and stamina, and such an effective tool for alleviating back pain, building bone health, and fostering fat loss. We get into using a backpack versus a weighted vest, how much weight you should carry, and how you can get started today with stuff you've probably already got lying around.Resources Related to the PodcastMichael's previous appearances on the AoM podcast: Episode #708: Overcome the Comfort CrisisEpisode #930: Break Your Bad Habits by Escaping the Scarcity LoopThe Comfort Crisis by Michael EasterAoM Article: Cardio for the Man Who Hates Cardio — The Benefits of RuckingAoM podcast interview with the founder of GoRuckAoM Podcast #682: Get RuckingAoM Article: Don't Just Lift Heavy, Carry HeavyAoM Article: How to Take Care of Feet on a Hike or RuckAoM Article: One Weird Trick for Busting Through a Weight-Loss PlateauAoM Article: The Benefits of Hanging for Strength and MobilityAoM Article: Lessons From the Roman Art of WarGoRuckConnect with Michael EasterMichael's Substack: Two PercentSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Simon and Julie join John to unpack a powerful mix of history, headlines, and accountability.They begin by honoring the legacy of Jesse Jackson, reflecting on how he bridged Black and Indigenous civil rights struggles — from supporting Standing Rock to advocating for Leonard Peltier — and how he used his national platform to connect movements that are too often siloed.Then they turn to Texas, where Tarrant County GOP chair Bo French is seeking higher office after publicly calling for the mass deportation of millions — including Native Americans. They examine what this rhetoric reveals about extremism inside state politics and how normalized it has become.They also discuss a Georgia lawmaker's proposal to rename Sawnee Mountain after Donald Trump. The pushback highlights deeper questions about Indigenous erasure, public memory, and who gets honored on the land.And finally, they close with a troubling but important story out of Hawaiʻi, where Mark Zuckerberg reportedly used shell companies to pressure Native Hawaiian families into selling ancestral lands while constructing a fortified compound. It's a conversation about power, land, and what happens when billionaires collide with Indigenous sovereignty.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
