Podcast appearances and mentions of Santa Cruz

Bolivia ha celebrado elecciones este domingo en las que por primera vez en 20 años la izquierda se ha quedado fuera del poder. Eso era algo previsible pero lo que no era tan evidente es el triunfo del senador Rodrigo Paz. Será él quien se mida al expresidente Jorge Quiroga en la segunda vuelta el próximo mes de octubre. Hablamos con el enviado especial a La Paz Santiago Barnuevo y analizamos estos resultados con Vania Sandoval, politóloga y profesora en la Universidad de Santa Cruz de la Sierra y la Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar.

At 65, Judi Oyama is still lining up at the start gate — not in a “Masters” category, but shoulder-to-shoulder with athletes half, or even a quarter her age. She's a World Champion slalom skateboarder, a Hall of Fame inductee, and a pioneer who's been breaking barriers since she first picked up a board in Santa Cruz in the early 1970s.Back then, women's divisions barely existed. Prize money was unequal. Media crews left during women's finals. Judi skated anyway — pushing through invisibility, injury, and a sport that wasn't built to include her. Five decades later, she's still competing, still winning, and mentoring the next generation of racers who may one day take the sport to the Olympics.In this episode, we talk about:What slalom skateboarding actually is — and why it's so addictiveHow Judi fought for gender and racial equality in skateboardingThe longevity toolkit she's built: CrossFit, heavy lifting, recovery, and smart nutritionWhy representation matters, and how she's mentoring young women in the sportHow to stay competitive, joyful, and relevant in your sport for decadesHer motto: “Be badass every day” — and what it means in practiceWhether you've ever stepped on a skateboard or not, Judi's story is about rewriting the limits others put on you, and replacing them with your own.Follow Judi on Instagram Cover pic

Chaque année en Bolivie, des millions d'hectares sont dévastés par les incendies. En 2024, les feux ont été d'une ampleur sans précédent, dix millions d'hectares, l'équivalent de deux fois et demie la superficie d'un pays comme la Suisse, ont été réduits en cendres. Plusieurs mois après la fin des feux, leurs conséquences se font toujours ressentir : communautés sans production agricole pour se nourrir, personnes âgées à la santé encore précaire à cause des fumées et, bien sûr, la forêt et sa biodiversité qui peinent à se remettre de cet épisode. (Rediffusion) De notre correspondant en Bolivie, «Ici, on parle de la saison de feux de la même manière que l'on parle de l'hiver ou de l'été. Ça arrive chaque année, de manière toujours plus forte et violente». Au parc Ambue Ari, dans l'est de la Bolivie, les membres du staff se sont habitués à lutter tous les ans contre les incendies. Dans ce sanctuaire, on récupère et soigne des animaux sauvages issus du braconnage, des incendies ou encore de la déforestation. En période d'incendies, de juillet à octobre, de nombreux animaux brûlés ou déshydratés sont amenés à la clinique vétérinaire du parc par la population. Paresseux, singes, tortues ou encore oiseaux y sont soignés avant d'être relâchés dans le sanctuaire. En 2024, le parc a même récupéré une jaguar de 6 mois : «normalement, nous n'acceptons pas de félins car nos espaces d'accueil sont saturés, explique Ivan Marquez, biologiste, mais dans ce cas-ci, elle est jeune et nous pensons pouvoir lui apprendre à chasser seule pour pouvoir la libérer». Il s'agira du premier jaguar relâché de l'histoire de la Bolivie. Du fait des incendies, beaucoup d'animaux sauvages se réfugient d'eux mêmes dans le parc. «L'écosystème du parc est souvent surchargé, continue le biologiste, par exemple, ici, il y a un nombre de jaguars bien supérieur à ce qu'il devrait y avoir dans un espace naturel.» D'année en année, la déforestation et les incendies font reculer la forêt, résultat : aujourd'hui Ambue Ari est devenue une île de biodiversité au milieu des champs et des pâturages. Dans l'est du pays, la déforestation a explosé ces 10 dernières années. «À partir de 2012-2013, le gouvernement planifie une vision de diversification de l'économie, en particulier le développement de l'agro, c'est-à-dire le bétail et le soja, il devient donc beaucoup plus tolérant avec toutes les lois environnementales», explique Stasiek Czaplicki, économiste environnemental, spécialisé sur le secteur agro exportateur ainsi que la déforestation et les incendies.   «Depuis qu'il y a eu ces feux, chacun survit comme il peut» La biodiversité n'est pas la seule à se remettre difficilement des feux. Dans la petite ville de San Javier, à 200 kilomètres d'Ambue Ari, les communautés autochtones continuent de souffrir des conséquences des incendies. «Notre centrale indigène Païkoneka est une organisation  qui regroupe 60 communautés et 1 500 familles, desquelles 300 ont dû émigrer en ville parce qu'elles n'avaient plus rien à manger chez elles», raconte Brian Baca Talamas. La grande majorité des habitants des communautés autochtones produit son alimentation elle-même et un petit surplus qu'elle vend sur les marchés. Mais comme de nombreux champs ont été ravagés par les feux, beaucoup de personnes ont dû trouver un travail salarié en ville. «J'ai ma femme et mes enfants, je n'ai pas eu d'autre option que de partir car il n'y avait plus d'eau dans ma communauté et l'incendie avait ravagé toute ma parcelle», témoigne Enrique Pesoa, qui a dû travailler plusieurs mois comme maçon pour faire vivre sa famille. «J'ai 57 ans et n'avais jamais eu à partir comme ça de ma communauté pour travailler ailleurs, confie Agustín Parapaena, c'est très dur pour nous les habitants des communautés, on souffre de devoir partir. Depuis qu'il y a eu ces feux, chacun survit comme il peut». La centrale indigène Païkoneka a combattu du mieux qu'elle pouvait les incendies, grâce à 50 pompiers volontaires formés et équipés, ainsi qu'en sensibilisant les habitants pour qu'aucun incendie ne se déclare dans les territoires des communautés. «Mais les feux arrivent de l'extérieur, des voisins. Ils vont brûler dans un ranch, perdre le contrôle du feu et ça finit par arriver chez nous», dénonce Brian Baca Talamas. Jusqu'à l'année dernière, l'amende à payer lorsque qu'un feu devenait hors de contrôle était de 20 centimes de dollar par hectare. Il était moins coûteux de payer l'amende après un feu que défricher une parcelle avec un bulldozer. La discipline dans les communautés n'a donc pas empêché que certaines soient dévastées à 80 ou 90% par les flammes.   Écoles fermées dans un-tiers du pays au plus fort des incendies À San Javier, mais comme dans tout le département de Santa Cruz et une partie de la Bolivie, les fumées des feux ont également fait beaucoup de dégâts. «Entre le mois de juin et la fin octobre, nous avons 2 jours de pluie, en août, où nous avons pu respirer, sinon c'était de la fumée tout le temps», se rappelle Brian Baca Talamas. «Mon fils aîné a eu des problèmes pulmonaires et il a dû être évacué de la communauté», raconte Enrique Pesoa. Au plus fort des incendies, les écoles ont été fermées dans un tiers du pays. Même dans des villes comme La Paz, en pleine montagne et à des centaines de kilomètres des incendies, les élèves risquaient d'être affectés par les fumées. «Maintenant, il est guéri, parce qu'il est jeune, continue Enrique, mais il y a des personnes âgées qui continuent de souffrir». C'est notamment le cas de Maria, 64 ans : «J'ai encore des problèmes aux yeux, ils se fatiguent très vite. Donc oui, ma vue n'est plus la même depuis les incendies et c'est pareil pour mon mari.» Elle ajoute qu'à Bella Vista, sa communauté, les sources d'eau ont aussi été affectées. «Certains ruisseaux se sont asséchés et les autres étaient contaminés par les cendres, boire leur eau nous rendait malade». Malgré toutes ces conséquences sur les populations locales et sur la biodiversité, les incendies et la déforestation ne sont pas près de s'arrêter. «Le gouvernement bolivien continue de penser que le secteur agro exportateur va lui donner beaucoup plus de bénéfices qu'actuellement, donc il est en train de prendre des mesures pour aider son expansion», analyse Stasiek Czaplicki. La protection de la forêt et de ses écosystèmes n'est donc toujours pas à l'ordre du jour.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-07-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with groundbreaking news about the first successful islet cell transplant for type 1 diabetes without immunosuppression. A 42-year-old man received gene-edited donor cells that were modified to avoid immune rejection by removing tissue compatibility markers and adding protective proteins. The transplanted cells in his forearm began producing insulin autonomously, reducing his A1C by 42% over 12 weeks. This breakthrough could lead to off-the-shelf diabetes treatments without the cancer and infection risks of immunosuppressive drugs. She critiques a case where a patient was prescribed an expensive new osteoporosis drug without trying conservative treatments first. Dr. Dawn explains how this monoclonal antibody works by blocking sclerostin, essentially cutting the brake lines on bone formation. While effective for severe osteoporosis, the drug increases heart attack and stroke risk by 15%. She advocates for trying lifestyle changes, exercise, and established treatments before resorting to newer, more dangerous medications with questionable risk-benefit ratios. A caller asks about a pustular rash on his upper body that his acupuncturist suggests might be related to COVID vaccination. Dr. Dawn addresses the distribution pattern of the rash, suggesting possible causes like hot tub folliculitis or topical allergies based on the location. She discusses how to evaluate rashes by their characteristics and distribution rather than jumping to vaccine-related conclusions. The caller inquires about vaccine development timelines and whether rushed approval during COVID might have missed serious side effects. Dr. Dawn explains that mRNA vaccine technology existed for 10 years before COVID and discusses her theory about vaccine side effects. She describes how spike proteins may temporarily deplete anti-inflammatory mechanisms, leading to flare-ups of existing conditions like eczema or arthritis, but emphasizes these effects are generally temporary and rebuilding occurs over time. Caller asks about RFK Jr.'s stance on vaccine research and the long-term implications of reducing vaccine development. Dr. Dawn provides a nuanced response about problems with the current vaccine system, including government-guaranteed markets that incentivize overproduction of vaccines. She discusses the evolution from essential vaccines for devastating diseases to newer vaccines for less critical conditions, explaining the economic forces that drive development and the resulting over-vaccination in healthy populations versus the need to protect vulnerable individuals. Dr. Dawn concludes with an innovative medical technology - a robot mattress designed to prevent pressure ulcers in immobilized patients. The mattress contains 1,260 independently controlled pistons that create undulating checkerboard patterns, alternating pressure points to stimulate blood flow. Research showed that brief high pressure followed by relief works better than constant low pressure, reducing pressure ulcer areas by 34 times compared to standard foam padding.

Se acerca en Bolivia la elección presidencial, que será el domingo 17 de agosto, y entre los temas que están proponiendo los candidatos para salir de la crisis económica crónica del país se repite desarrollar la ganadería y la agricultura a gran escala. Es un proyecto que entusiasma a los lideres del agronegocio pero que preocupa a las comunidades autóctonas quienes ven que la deforestación no deja de crecer. RFI viajó a la región oriental de Santa Cruz para hablar con unos y otros.  Con nuestro corresponsal en Bolivia, Nils Sabin La agricultura a gran escala es un proyecto que entusiasma a los lideres del agronegocio pero que preocupa a las comunidades autóctonas quienes ven que la deforestación no deja de crecer. En San Javier, la campaña para la elección presidencial del 17 de agosto es seguida con mucha atención. Esta pequeña ciudad de 15.000 habitantes es la cuenca lechera más importante del departamento de Santa Cruz y los ganaderos locales tienen esperanza de ver su sector apoyado por el próximo presidente, como cuenta María Gloria Paz Tambare, presidenta de la asociación de ganaderos de San Javier : “Ojala, y dios quiera, que haya un cambio y que el nuevo gobierno que venga mire que la producción y el adelanto y el progreso están en el campo.” A pesar de las leyes ambientales muy permisivas y de los préstamos a tasas bajas, el agronegocio tiene la sensación de haber sido tratado muy mal por los gobiernos de izquierdas de los últimos 20 años. Para la ganadera, es urgente que un presidente aún más favorable a este sector llegue al poder. “Nosotros la tenemos muy clara la figura de que si no hay exportación, si no hay liberación de aranceles, si no hay apoyo, con seguridad que este país se va a ir al bombón” Es también el punto de vista de Mauricio Tambare, un ganadero encontrado en su estancia, a unos kilómetros de San Javier. Para el, los candidatos tienen que inspirarse de otros presidentes de derecha del continente : “Nos gusta lo que hace Milei, nos gusta lo que ha hecho Bukele y nosotros aspiramos a que, no digo que sea lo mismo pero que sea muy parecido a lo que hace Milei” Pero dentro la Central indígena Païkoneka, que agrupa alrededor de 60 comunidades autóctonas en San Javier,  hay preocupación por estas propuestas, ya que no son cuestionadas por los candidatos de izquierdas, indica Brian Baca Talamas, “le hemos analizado todas las propuestas de todos los candidatos y en ni una favorece de ninguna forma a los pueblos indígenas o al medio ambiente”. De hecho, reforzar el peso del agronegocio en la economía boliviana significa ampliar la frontera agrícola, lo que favorecerá la deforestación y los incendios. Para oponerse a eso, la Central indígena païkoneka ya está pensando en movilizaciones para después de la elección contó a RFI Maria Suarez Macoño, una de los dirigentes de la organización: “Estamos unidos, todos los pueblos de las tierras bajas, que cuando pase este 17 de agosto y quien salga presidente, hacer una marcha para decir que se respeten nuestro territorio y que se respeten nuestros derechos.” En 2024, Bolivia fue el segundo país con más pérdidas de bosque primario a nivel mundial, después de Brasil, y por el momento, parece que ningún candidato está dispuesto a cambiar este rumbo.

Author, guitar player and just about the most ineresting person I know, John Stubbings takes through the eye of the needle and talks about his new book "The Guitar Detective." Five years in the making this is truely a wonderful interview. Take a look at his books here https://utpress.utexas.edu/author/john-stubbings/

Super stoked to get Mike on the pod! We ran into each other at Jarrod's Place on the shuttle years ago and stayed in touch. At the time he was working for Santa Cruz, but now working for Cane Creek. We catch up on his story, his obsession for Santa Cruz (favorite rigs), and his new gig at Cane Creek. Of course we had to have some van life talk mixed in as well since he has been living it for a long time. The true Mansmann is now a resident of Pisgah so go hit the brotha up for some rad trail riding!

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-31-2025: Dr. Dawn interviews Katherine Rockwood and Jess Stevens, both registered nurses and breastfeeding advocates, during International Breastfeeding Month. They discuss community events including breastfeeding cupcakes at hospitals, partnerships with WIC (Women, Infants & Children) nutrition programs, and upcoming festivals featuring educational booths from various healthcare organizations. The conversation covers how these events aim to normalize breastfeeding and provide support resources for new mothers. The discussion explores milk donation programs, with Jess explaining her experience as a milk donor after becoming an "overproducer." They detail the screening process involving health questionnaires, blood tests, and milk quality checks before donation. The conversation addresses the high cost of donor milk at approximately $30 per ounce and insurance challenges, highlighting cases where fundraising helped provide donor milk for babies whose mothers couldn't breastfeed due to medical conditions like cancer. Dr. Dawn comments that breastfeeding a baby is like giving them a $100.00 restaurant meal daily. Katherine and Jess explain the superior benefits of breast milk over formula, particularly for premature babies who face risks like necrotizing enterocolitis from formula feeding. They discuss how the mother's breast milk composition automatically adjusts it's content for premature infants and how there is a 28-day window for establishing milk supply that affects long-term breastfeeding success. The nurses describe their support programs, including Katherine's "Baby Talk" group meetings where experienced mothers help newcomers learn breastfeeding techniques. They explain how group settings provide encouragement and demonstrate proper latching through observation and imitation. The discussion includes practical tips like playing jazz music and creating calm environments to facilitate milk letdown, drawing from Katherine's background in jazz clubs. Dr. Dawn explores the science behind breast milk, including human milk oligosaccharides that feed beneficial gut bacteria and establish healthy microbiomes. The conversation covers how breast milk changes throughout the day, with higher melatonin levels in evening milk, and how the antibody percentage composition shifts when babies are sick. Amazingly, breast milk becomes more yellow in color due to increased antibodies. They discuss how milk adapts for different aged children and even changes caloric content based on baby's gender with males receiving 25% more calories. The discussion addresses workplace and societal challenges for breastfeeding mothers, including the need for proper lactation rooms and supportive employers. They mention legal requirements for lactation spaces in California government buildings and the particular challenges faced by agricultural workers who lack adequate facilities. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community support and reducing guilt for mothers who cannot breastfeed. Dr. Dawn then shares statistics showing increasing breastfeeding rates, with 83.8% of babies receiving some breast milk and 25% exclusively breastfed for six months. The discussion covers additional maternal benefits including reduced breast cancer risk through complete breast tissue maturation, improved bone health through enhanced calcium absorption during breastfeeding, and natural birth control effects. They conclude by encouraging any amount of breastfeeding while supporting mothers who cannot breastfeed for various reasons.

Una semana caliente en la política y la economía argentina:

We were all surprised to learn that Monterey Jack cheese came from Monterey, but we weren't surprised by Meg churning out some fast miles at the Wharf to Wharf 6-miler in Santa Cruz. We recap her West Coast journey as well as Thomas and Robbe's trip to Brooklyn (just a couple days after the launch of the On Cloudsurfer Max). Also, Summer GRIT just wrapped up and we had some incredibly performances to highlight (including one woman who has racked up 160,000 feet of elevation gain in one month). Lastly, we highlight the Nike Structure 26 and Norda 008, two shoes that have carried us through the past couple weeks.

Chegou a hora decisiva para Santa Cruz e Central na Série D. Os times pernambucanos entram na segunda fase precisando passar por três confrontos de mata-mata pra conseguir o acesso. E o que podemos esperar do Tricolor em campo contra o Sergipe, além da Patativa contra o Lagarto? Nesta edição do Embolada, João de Andrade Neto, Daniel Gomes e Hebertt Ramos debatem os confrontos, os momentos das equipes e ariscam palpites sobre todos os duelos do Brasileiro.

Javier Santacruz, economista y analista financiero, ha afirmado en el informativo 24 Horas de RNE sobre la concentración bancaria de la OPA: "Parece que no se va a producir porque el Gobierno impuso que no se podían integrar las dos entidades [...] Lo más sensato es que se retire la oferta". Respecto al decreto de los aranceles que entra en vigor mañana, Santacruz considera: "En términos generales se pondrá en marcha, sobre todo donde sabemos que el arancel es del 15%" y concluye que "va a ser una negociación permanente".Escuchar audio

This week, a special road trip episode featuring up and coming California based bluegrass phenomenon AJ Lee & Blue Summit recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. Also, a bonus performance from IBMA award winning hit maker Chris Jones & The Night Drivers. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound, that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. AJ Lee & Blue Summit are an award-winning energetic, charming, and technically jaw-dropping band quickly rising on the national roots music scene. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the group met as teenagers, picking and jamming together as kids at local music festivals and jams until one day, they decided they would be a band.  Their first gigs were local, small venues, cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, where they'd play for multiple hours honing their set list and learning shared musical vocabularies. Now, as they criss-cross the country performing hundreds of shows a year to larger and larger audiences, you can sense the intention they had back then – to make music together not for just aspirational reasons, but because it's fun – and it's all you want to do as young musicians. Currently made up of Lee on mandolin, fiddler Jan Purat, and guitarists Scott Gates & Sullivan Tuttle, the band carries that youthful, festival-parking-lot energy with them still today, but at the same time there's a genuine ease and confidence to their music making. This is not the bluegrass of ambitious musicians intent on industry success, this is music made firstly for the joy of making it and primarily made for each other. https://www.bluesummitmusic.com/about-us-1 Chris Jones & the Night Drivers make some of the most distinctively elegant yet driving bluegrass music heard anywhere today. Deeply rooted in tradition but never bound to it, they deliver original music with tight arrangements, emotional authenticity, and engaging humor. Collectively, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers have won 12 IBMA awards and have racked up 24 #1 songs. In July of 2022, they made their debut on The Grand Ole Opry and were soon asked to return. In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1984 archival recording of Ozark originals Bob Momich & Adam Fudge performing a banjo duet on the tune “Protecting the Innocent,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In this week's guest host segment, renowned traditional folk musician, writer, and step dancer Aubrey Atwater dives deep into Aesop's classic fable about the ant & the grasshopper.

Tamara is just back from a 5-night Galapagos Islands cruise on board the Galaxy Yacht. She was hosted on this trip by Galaxy Expeditions but all opinions are her own. Galaxy Expeditions operates a number of yachts in the Galapagos and also can arrange for land travel in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. The Galaxy Yacht has eight cabins for a maximum of 16 passengers. Episode Highlights You need to fly to the Galapagos from either Quito or Guayaquil in Ecuador (1.5 - 2 hours) At the airport before leaving the mainland, you need to purchase your tourist card and have your luggage inspected and zip tied to protect the islands from bringing in invasive species A delegate from Galaxy Expeditions met her at the airport to walk her through the process Once you arrive in the Galapagos, you need to pay an entrance fee to support the National Park ($200 per person) and they reinspect luggage, which takes about an hour on arrival You then meet your group and take a bus to the port where you load onto zodiac boats to get to the yacht A 5-night cruise was a nice amount of time to reach many of the islands and see a ton of wildlife but longer would be more tiring and could get a little repetitive Most of the cruises in the Galapagos are 16-32 or maybe 50 passengers If you are prone to motion sickness, you will feel it, especially at night as they moved from place to place The engines are also loud so bring ear plugs or a sound machine to help drown it out I'd recommend bringing Dramamine or seasickness meds as well as sleep aids On board, there were two solo travelers, a few couples and a mother-daughter duo from Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and the USA The food was really good and breakfast was usually a buffet and lunch was a buffet or served and there were usually two options for a dinner entree They also served light snacks and fresh juice or tea after excursions Excursions and meals are included (alcohol is not) Excursions start early and stay busy all day. The first excursion of the day is usually at 6 - 7 am There are typically two hikes per day and one to two snorkeling excursions per day They provide wet suits and snorkel gear on board The week started busy and got a little less so towards the end, which was appreciated Tamara saw sea turtles, fish, penguins, frigate birds, blue, red, and brown-footed boobies, sea lions, iguanas, and Galapagos tortoises There is a naturalist guide on board that leads every excursion and provides so much information about the wildlife and ecosystem The islands Tamara visited on Galaxy Yacht itinerary C are: Santa Cruz, North Seymour, Bartolome, Santiago, Genovesa, South Plazas, and San Cristobal Related Episodes Land-based trip to the Galapagos Mother daughter trip to Machu Picchu Atacama desert in Chile

In what has got to be one of the most bats**t crazy paranormal encounters on the books, a woman was relaxing in her Northern California home when she claimed to have encountered a bevy of increasingly bizarre beings, all of which coalesced into a whirlpool of metaphysical madness representing what may well be one of the last great paranormal vortexes in the United States.

Holistic sleep transformation expert Leah Ann Bolen talks about how dreams show us our true desires. Also dream symbolism, recurring themes, and dreams during times of transition or burnout. Leah starts out by talking about her suggestions for getting a better night’s sleep and the role of mindfulness and meditation. She then talks about how she she sees that dreams are a nightly feedback system: they reflect inner shifts, and reveal the self-protective strategies and deeper desires we may not consciously recognize during the day. We can turbo charge the work dreams do by bringing conscious attention them. She tells us that the best self help book we can read is our own dream journal. In the second half, we take three callers. The first is Elizabeth from Bellingham who says she is in a dream drought and asks about whether she should work with current dream nuggets or go back to work with longer but older dreams. Andrea from Hawaii asks about deja vu and synchronicities. Max in the studio talks about his experiences of sleeping in noisy environments. BIO: Leah Ann Bolen is a Certified Dreamwork Practitioner and Integrative Adult Sleep Coach. At Miraval Resort & Spa in Arizona, she serves as the resident Sleep & Dream Specialist, guiding guests through transformative rest and dream experiences.

Planned Parenthood shut its Santa Cruz location last week and Monterey had its first-ever abalone festival over the weekend.

Send us a textGrandpa tells about his very first job to earn money outside of the home. He was a paperboy for the San Francisco "News-Call Bulletin."  The route skirted West Cliff Drive overlooking the beach in Santa Cruz, California. Though he didn't know why he enjoyed it, he liked to pause on the route to look at the girls on the beach.  On this job he learned that if he stopped for a root beer float every day on the way home, his earnings decreased dramatically. He shares some of his exploits on this job.

Broadcast on KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-24-2025: An emailer from Israel asks about mouth taping for sleep benefits, prompting Dr. Dawn to review a comprehensive study examining social media claims. She discusses the limited evidence base for most purported benefits like better sleep, oral health, and reduced snoring. The research reveals only mild sleep apnea showed meaningful improvement, while most other claims lack scientific support despite widespread promotion on social media platforms. Dr. Dawn reports on American scientists fleeing to France due to research funding cuts and political pressures. She describes how 300 American researchers have applied to just one French university, citing eliminated grants and demands to justify their basic science work. The brain drain parallels Europe's post-WWII exodus to America, but now affects climate research, gender studies, biology, and even NASA astrophysics programs. She introduces Salsalate, an aspirin-related drug from 1876 being reconsidered for diabetes treatment. Dr. Dawn explains how this salicylate works through anti-inflammatory pathways to reduce insulin resistance. Recent trials show promising results for glucose control and metabolic improvements, potentially offering an older, affordable alternative to newer diabetes medications. Dr. Dawn describes breakthrough surgical robot technology that successfully removed organs without human guidance. The system uses dual AI components for vision and instrument control that communicate with each other to correct mistakes. She notes the progression toward live animal testing as the next development phase. She explores revolutionary nanobots based on tiny algae cells that can navigate the human body for targeted drug delivery. These microscopic robots use flagella for movement and can be guided by magnets and ultrasound to reach specific organs like kidneys. The technology offers potential for precise chemotherapy delivery while avoiding healthy tissues. An emailer questions gabapentin's connection to cognitive decline after being prescribed the medication for sleep. Dr. Dawn challenges the study's methodology, noting that early dementia symptoms include insomnia, which leads to sleep medication prescriptions. She argues the correlation may reflect pre-existing cognitive decline rather than drug-induced impairment. Dr. Dawn presents alternatives to knee replacement surgery for patients hesitant about major procedures. She details innovative nerve ablation techniques that rewire pain signals by connecting sensory nerves to motor nerves, potentially providing permanent relief. Additional options include radio frequency ablation and blood vessel embolization to reduce inflammation-related pain. She highlights Alice Walton's new medical school in Arkansas focusing on preventative medicine and whole-person care. The curriculum emphasizes lifestyle factors, community service, and includes art training to develop empathy and observation skills. Dr. Dawn praises this approach as addressing the gap between medical education's biological focus and the behavioral causes of premature death.

Her many traveling adventures to share include those across 45 states, so far, with her large family, five sons, or friends. A few distant countries add to her exploits to be compiled when not busy with her multiple DIY crafting projects. Getting published has inspired more writing. She says, “Write your life.

La Anexión del Partido de Nicoya al territorio nacional fue un largo proceso iniciado incluso antes de su formalización en 1824 y que culminó hasta 1838, cuando las municipalidades de Nicoya, Santa Cruz y Villa Guanacaste (actualmente Liberia) ratificaron su decisión de seguir vinculadas a Costa Rica. Geográficamente, esos tres territorios comprendían las tierras al oeste del río Tempisque hasta el océano Pacífico. Al norte se extendían desde el río Salto hasta el lago de Nicaragua. Como todo evento sociopolítico tenemos que comprenderlo en su contexto, con sus particularidades. Y claro, con el transcurrir del tiempo podemos poner en perspectiva aquella histórica decisión en lo atinente a la consolidación de nuestra identidad y soberanía. Para celebrar los 201 años de la Anexión conversamos con la historiadora Ana María Botey Sobrado.

Charles Duhigg is the author of numerous books, including The Power of Habit, which spent over three years on the New York Times bestseller lists. His second book, Smarter Faster Better, was also a New York Times bestseller. And his latest, which hit the shelves last year, is titled Supercommunicators. Turns out ol' Charles also lives in my hometown of Santa Cruz, California, and the dude surfs! Who would've thunk? This pod was under an hour, and we covered a lot: the writing process, breakthrough communication skills, and, of course, surfing. I mentioned it in the intro, but if you're in LA on Friday, July 17th, stop by Patagonia Santa Monica. I will be doing a live reading of some travel pieces I've written over the years. Some take place at Mavericks, others profile unknown activists fighting for their local waves south of the border—all celebrate the radical act of riding waves. The reading starts at 7pm and earlier in the day, Patagonia's team will also be at the store fixing wetsuits for free. Event Details here.
