This episode dives into the world of women's hormonal health with Dr. Prudence Hall, who shares how her career shifted from gynecological surgery to integrative medicine after realizing how poorly menopause was being addressed in conventional care. She breaks down why individualized treatment matters, especially when it comes to bioidentical hormones that mirror the body's natural chemistry. The conversation explores the underrated role of testosterone in women's health, from supporting muscle and bone to protecting mental clarity, and how environmental stressors, toxins, and chronic stress can disrupt hormonal balance. Dr. Hall also highlights the importance of vitamin D, thyroid function, and comprehensive testing - hormones, antibodies, genetics - to get a full picture of what's really going on in the body. Throughout the episode, she emphasizes the power of collaboration between patients and practitioners and the need for a more thoughtful, personalized approach to navigating menopause and beyond. Learn more about Dr. Hall - Dr. Prudence Hall is an integrative medicine pioneer and founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, specializing in regenerative and hormone-based medicine.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with sisters Amy and Nancy Harrington, cofounders of The Passionistas Project, a global community of women.    "It's all about elevating women who don't often get the support and attention that they need," Amy explains. It's also about helping them tell their stories.   Storytelling and food go hand-in-hand, especially in the case of the Harringtons, who have Italian and Jewish roots.     "That's really embedded in both cultures," Nancy says. "And I think that the best way to learn anything from each other is to tell stories and listen."   The sisters, who were raised in an Irish Italian Catholic family - Sunday dinners, a big pot of spaghetti and testing the pasta to make sure it was cooked - recently discovered that they were Jewish. They weren't too surprised, as they already had plenty of Jewish connections.    And then there's the food.   "There's noodle kugel and then there's the Italian pastas; there's just so much overlap," Amy says. "I always associate New York Jews with New York cheesecake, and in Italy we have pizza dolce, which is just a sweeter, less tart version." You can get the recipe at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.   Amy and Nancy Harrington share The Passionistas Sisterhood backstory, how they discovered their Jewish heritage, and their connections to Judaism over the years. The sisters also mention Santa Monica's Cafe Lovi owner Benedetta Jasmine Guetta and her cookbook, "Cooking Alla Giudia: A Celebration of the Jewish Food of Italy," as well as the crossover between Italians, Jews, and community.    Learn more at thepassionistaproject.com and follow @ThePassionistasProject on Facebook and Instagram. For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

When famed tenor and songwriter Pasquale Esposito was growing up in Naples, Italy, the music of Enrico Caruso would play throughout his house, inspiring him to sing at the local church in town. His dream was to come to America, to study and eventually perform. And that's exactly what he did. Fast forward twenty-five years, and Pasquale is now performing internationally to critical acclaim, and on Dec. 10, he'll perform along side world-renowned conductor Maestro Carlo Ponti on the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California, presenting a magical Holiday concert of American and Italian traditions through spirited carols and emotional Neapolitan melodies. And I'm honored to speak with both gentlemen today on my show. I've known Carlo for some time now, and not only am I a huge fan of his work, but I admire his incredible talent and creative style. I'm also honored to call him a friend. Most people know he's the eldest son of the beautiful and talented Ms. Sophia Loren and filmmaker Carlo Ponti, and one can only imagine life growing up among such talent. But not only did Carlo inherit his parents gift of performance, he's lived his life in service of the arts, having founded the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra, which raises awareness and funds for music education in the Los Angeles area. He shares his gift of philanthropy with Pasquale, who founded Notable Music and Arts, a non-profit focused on promoting cultural exchange through music, dance, theater, film, visual arts, and literature. We'll talk with both of them about this, in addition to their work, life, and upcoming performance at the Broad on 12/10. Please find my full conversation with Maestro Carlo Ponti and Tenor Pasquale Esposito on all video and audio podcast platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and the #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here. @pasqualetenor @maestrocarloponti @lavirtuosiorchestra #LAV #concert #classicalmusic #orchestra #losangeles

Plongez dans la traque de James “Whitey” Bulger, le parrain de Boston. Né dans les rues violentes du Boston des années 50, Bulger gravit les échelons du crime organisé jusqu'à devenir l'homme que tout le monde craint. Meurtres, rackets, trahisons… Whitey règne par la terreur, tout en profitant d'un pacte secret avec le FBI qui lui permet d'agir dans l'ombre en toute impunité. Pendant des décennies, il manipule policiers, gangsters et politiciens, se jouant du système comme personne. Lorsque la vérité éclate, sa chute révèle l'un des scandales les plus explosifs de l'histoire du crime américain. La reddition de Santa Monica le spot télévisé du FBI finit par porter ses fruits : une voisine reconnaît Catherine Greig et révèle la planque du couple à Santa Monica. Tandis que Bulger réalise qu'il est enfin repéré, l'équipe d'intervention menée par Scott Garriola met en place une ruse et cueille le parrain sans qu'il tire un coup de feu. Catherine se rend à son tour, et après seize ans de cavale, les deux fugitifs sont transférés à Boston pour être jugés. Whitey affronte alors un procès retentissant, marqué par les témoignages de ses anciens associés, avant d'écoper de deux peines à perpétuité. En prison, vieillissant et toujours provocateur, il finit assassiné en 2018, closant définitivement la trajectoire du parrain intouchable de Boston.

Rent control and other tenant protections have profound and positive impacts on individuals' and communities' lives. Dr. Lauren Everett's Fortunate People in a Fortunate Land: At Home in Santa Monica's Rent-Controlled Housing (Temple UP, 2025) shows how rent control impacts the lives of the renters themselves. Dr. Everett interviews residents about their experiences in low- and middle-income households in rent-controlled private market housing in Santa Monica, CA, a city where Everett was born and raised but can no longer afford to live. Dr. Everett seeks to understand the extent to which individuals feel at home or not at home and what factors contribute to those experiences. She also explores the nexus of Santa Monica's tenant protection policies, infrastructure, and resources and the extent to which they inform stability—both perceived and actual—and life decisions. The first scholarly book to take a tenant-centered approach to examining the benefits and problems of rent control, Fortunate People in a Fortunate Land examines the residential experience in this specific local context and explains how it relates to policy and other externalities in cities where homeownership is not financially viable for most renters. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Dr. Everett interviews residents about their experiences in low- and middle-income households in rent-controlled private market housing in Santa Monica, CA, a city where Everett was born and raised but can no longer afford to live. Dr. Everett seeks to understand the extent to which individuals feel at home or not at home and what factors contribute to those experiences. She also explores the nexus of Santa Monica's tenant protection policies, infrastructure, and resources and the extent to which they inform stability—both perceived and actual—and life decisions. The first scholarly book to take a tenant-centered approach to examining the benefits and problems of rent control, Fortunate People in a Fortunate Land examines the residential experience in this specific local context and explains how it relates to policy and other externalities in cities where homeownership is not financially viable for most renters. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Y all, this conversation lit me up. Dr Ayat Mekki is one of those women who speaks and you instantly feel your whole body soften, straighten up, and lean in. She shares so much wisdom on emotional healing, subconscious patterns, and manifesting in a way that feels like someone finally turned the lights on. Talking to her reminded me that we all have these old stories running in the background, and the second we see them clearly, things start shifting fast.We also got into why chaos can feel familiar, why peace can feel almost too quiet, and how we repeat the same relationship patterns until we learn what we are meant to learn. I felt seen, called in, and weirdly comforted. I think you will too.Highlights:(01:45) Medical doctor to subconscious healer(06:12) The real meaning of manifestation and why it is not about wishful thinking(14:40) Clues that childhood wounds might be steering the show(23:01) When peace feels uncomfortable and why your nervous system reacts that way(34:10) What generational patterns look like and how healing affects seven future generations(47:15) The biggest lesson Dr Ayat took away from hosting her retreatFind out more about Dr. Ayat Mekki:Website LinkedInInstagram: @dr.ayat.mekkiQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole's on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole's bestselling children's book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

Pour one out for Spike, the LAPD K9 police officer who was shot and killed last night while in pursuit of a suspect in Burbank. The suspect was subsequently killed by responding police officers. According to the LA Times, LAFD records show there was no sign of firefighters having extinguished the Lachman fire in the Pacific Palisades before it reignited into the Palisades fire in January 2025. The first home, an ADU, has officially been rebuilt following the LA wildfires, replacing a garage that had previously stood in its place.

As I prepared for our 200th(!!!) episode of the podcast, I realized that I hadn't completely shared a huge part of my story with you. You may already know that I'm an adoptive mom. Today, I'm going deeper and sharing my infertility and adoption story.I sometimes talk about my journey as arriving through the back door of motherhood. In this episode, I'm talking about how I experienced infertility, why we chose adoption, and how that informed me as a mom, ultimately becoming a trauma-informed parent. -----------------------------------------------My hope is that if you have experienced infertility, this episode gives a voice to your pain and a place for you to feel supported and loved. If you have not experienced infertility, I hope that hearing my story might help you have more understanding and compassion for your girlfriends or family members that are going through it. My Infertility StoryAfter a few years of marriage (I married young at 22), it became clear to me that I really wanted to become a mom. Sometime in 2001 or 2002, my husband and I started trying to get pregnant. For the first few months, I didn't think much of it when my period kept coming. Six or seven months in, I wasn't super concerned but thought it was a bit strange that I wasn't pregnant yet. So I started the ovulation strips, the basal thermometer, and all those little at-home hacks to increase our chances. A year went by, and I still wasn't pregnant. During this time, I was pretty sad. In the beginning, I was so excited for my friends when they got pregnant. But as time went on and it became more evident that maybe it wasn't going to happen for us, I started to feel jealous, scared, and less than. It triggered insecurities and feelings from my childhood of not belonging.At the one-year mark, we decided to go to the doctor and have some testing done. Our results showed that we would need some interventions if we wanted to get pregnant. The obvious answer at the time was IVF. I knew a few people who were going through IVF, and I was hearing about how much it cost and how devastating it was if it didn't work. So, we decided to consider ALL of our options. After getting our test results, we weren't closed off to the idea of adoption. In fact, I think there was a part of us that always sort of wanted to adopt. We just thought it would be in addition to our own biological kids.The options were laid out to us in two paths: the medical route or the adoption route. At first, I told my husband that I wanted to pursue both at the same time. Our Adoption JourneyAs we started to look at adoption, I was clear on one thing. I did not want to adopt through foster care. I was so desperate for this child, and I wanted a baby that could be mine. While I now know that this isn't the risk factor I thought it was, I was so afraid that our relationship would be insecure, that a birth mother could come back and take my child away. So we decided on inter-country adoption. At the time, our main options were Russia, China, and Guatemala. We attended an adoption seminar and learned about the process, costs, and wait times. Russia seemed the most aligned for us in that we could have a baby in about nine months. It felt like the most natural timeline to me.We realized pretty quickly that both IVF and adoption required a lot of time, money, and energy. We had to choose one. When I have a big decision to make or I'm in a lot of emotional pain, I often end up on the shore, by the ocean. So after the seminar, my husband and I drove to Santa Monica, sat on the beach, and talked about it. We both wanted to pursue adoption for different reasons. Kevin wasn't super invested in having a biological child. And I wanted a sure thing. I didn't want to go through round...

In the first episode of A Developing Story, host Brian Peter Falk introduces the idyllic beach city of Santa Monica, California and explores how a controversial state wide development mandate called "The Housing Element" is forcing the city to allow the construction of nearly 9,000 new apartments.Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/news/hcd-rejects-citys-housing-element-demands-revisions/https://smdp.com/news/after-housing-element-debacle-implementation-work-begins/https://smdp.com/news/housing-element-becomes-hot-topic-at-local-leader-gathering/

Santa Monica, like much of Los Angeles County, is a city dominated by neighborhoods of low-density, single-family homes. But low density has played a role in California's housing crisis. The state is responding with "Density Bonuses" for developers, which encourage more building, but at what cost? This episode crunches the numbers, explains the density bonus "matrix," and spotlights a planned density bonus building. Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/news/density-bonus-rules-allow-developers-to-double-the-size-of-some-projects/https://smdp.com/uncategorized/santa-monica-board-continues-review-of-132-unit-housing-project-over-design-concerns/https://smdp.com/business/development/santa-monica-housing-pilot-program-reaches-capacity-within-days-planning-commission-seeks-extension/

Building affordable housing is a big priority in Santa Monica. This episode investigates how affordable housing is built, and what "affordability" even means as the nationwide cost of living rises. Many fear that the push to build more affordable housing is leading to gentrification instead.   Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/business/development/race-is-on-to-shape-affordable-housing-near-17th-street-smc-metro-station/https://smdp.com/business/development/santa-monica-puts-three-city-owned-sites-up-for-lease-as-part-of-affordable-housing-push/https://smdp.com/business/development/community-corporation-celebrates-santa-monicas-first-modular-affordable-housing-development/

In this episode, Brian examines three housing development projects in Santa Monica – all of which have courted controversy. One is a large development that could replace a beloved grocery store, another is a supportive housing project a block from the city's shopping promenade, and the third is a project that was killed by community activism, with unintended consequences. Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/news/public-stir-persists-for-gelsons-replacement-project/https://smdp.com/business/development/plans-updated-for-122-unit-affordable-housing-development-at-1318-4th-street/https://smdp.com/business/residents-want-a-reduced-bergamot-transit-village/ 

As California's current high-speed rail fiasco attests, big and ambitious public projects are hard. California's biggest project of all is housing development. Will it suffer the same fate? In this final episode, Brian explores the impediments to success, including the increasingly caustic "backyard brawl" between NIMBYS and YIMBYS, and asks his guests to pitch their versions of a successful housing future. Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/business/high-speed-rail-2/https://smdp.com/news/fresh-batch-of-yimby-housing-bills-clash-with-coastal-protections-again/https://smdp.com/government-politics-2/abundance-meets-resistance-are-democrats-finally-ready-to-go-all-in-on-building-housing/    

Delays in the approval of Santa Monica's housing element lead to a historic punishment for the city: activation of a loophole called "The Builder's Remedy." Developers are now able to flood Santa Monica with construction – and the city is powerless to stop it.Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/news/builders-remedy/https://smdp.com/business/godzilla-next-door-how-california-developers-gained-new-leverage-to-build-more-homes/https://smdp.com/news/development/https://smdp.com/business/development/planning-commission-approves-18-story-housing-project-despite-environmental-appeal/

Santa Monica just approved $600,000 pickle ball courts as a "temporary" use for a lot that's been sitting empty for years - while planning $123 million in "affordable" housing that costs over $1 million per unit. You can't make this stuff up. We break down how California's progressive policies have turned housing for homeless people into luxury-priced units that would cost taxpayers $200 billion statewide, all while adding grocery stores below homeless housing projects because what could possibly go wrong? From layers of bureaucracy to union wage requirements to environmental virtue signaling that imports oil from Brazil, we expose why affordable housing doesn't exist and never will at these astronomical costs. Is anyone surprised that a pickle ball court got built faster than actual housing? When will politicians admit that their "solutions" are making everything worse while lining the pockets of connected developers and bureaucrats? Like and subscribe if you're tired of watching your tax dollars fund million-dollar homeless shelters that solve nothing.

BLISS: WEST COAST URBAN ISSUES AND THE PACK FIRE Guest: Jeff Bliss Seattle elected socialist Kate Wilson, who wants public grocery stores. The Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas has installed a massive slide for visitors. Both San Francisco and Santa Monica are seeing major business failures and mall auctions due to unchecked crime and vagrancy. Los Angeles Mayor Bass requested citizen help for cleanup before the Olympics. Meanwhile, the 3,000-acre Pack Fire in Mono County is being aided by heavy rain. 1926

SHOW 11-14-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE ECONOMY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 BLISS: WEST COAST URBAN ISSUES AND THE PACK FIRE Guest: Jeff Bliss Seattle elected socialist Kate Wilson, who wants public grocery stores. The Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas has installed a massive slide for visitors. Both San Francisco and Santa Monica are seeing major business failures and mall auctions due to unchecked crime and vagrancy. Los Angeles Mayor Bass requested citizen help for cleanup before the Olympics. Meanwhile, the 3,000-acre Pack Fire in Mono County is being aided by heavy rain. 915-930 MCTAGUE: LANCASTER COUNTY ECONOMY AND AI FEAR Guest: Jim McTague Reports from Lancaster County show a strong local economy: a metal forming company is "busy as they've ever been" and actively hiring, and the mall is packed with shoppers. Tourism is thriving, exemplified by sold-out shows at the Sight and Sound Theater. However, a persistent fear of AI-driven layoffs exists among retirees, despite no personal connection to the issue. Data centers supporting AI are rapidly being built in the area. 930-945 A. THE FILIBUSTER AND CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the filibuster's purpose: slowing down legislation to improve deliberation and mitigate hyper-partisanship. However, he argues its use against continuing resolutions is illegitimate, leading to "horrendous dislocation." He proposes changing the Senate rule to forbid filibusters on continuing resolutions, ensuring essential government functions are not held hostage for collateral political gain and maintaining fiscal continuity. 945-1000 B. BBC DEFAMATION AND THE NEED FOR REFORM Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the BBC's alleged defamation of President Trump through edited footage. Unlike US law, British defamation has a low bar, though damages may be smaller. Epstein contends that the BBC's reputational damage is enormous and suggests the institution is "thoroughly rotten" due to corruption and political capture. He advocates for cleansing the operation and breaking up the public monopoly. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 BRANDON-WEICHERT: AI'S IMPACT ON JOBS AND GEOPOLITICS Guest: Brandon Weichert High-profile layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are tied to AI replacing roles, fitting the anticipated economic transformation, though it may initially look like a bubble. The US leads in AI software, while China excels in robotics. Concerns exist regarding massive AI bets by industry leaders like Ellison and Altman, specifically whether their political ties could result in taxpayer bailouts if these huge projects fail. 1015-1030 FIORI: ITALIAN HERITAGE TRAINS AND POLITICAL DISPUTES Guest: Lorenzo Fiori Italy is launching heritage Christmas trains like the Espresso Monaco and Espresso Assisi, restoring old coaches and locomotives for tourists. Deputy PM Salvini is publicly criticizing aid to Ukraine, linking it to corruption, potentially as a strategy to regain consensus and boost his party's falling popularity. Nationwide student protests are occurring over school reform and the Palestine issue. Milan is preparing for Christmas celebrations. 1030-1045 A. COMMERCIAL SPACE ACHIEVEMENTS AND POLICY SHIFTS Guest: Bob Zimmerman Blue Origin's New Glenn successfully launched and landed its first stage vertically, becoming only the second company to achieve orbital stage reuse, despite its slow operational pace. VAST, a US commercial space station startup, signed a cooperation deal with Uzbekistan, possibly including flying an astronaut to its Haven One module. France announced a new, market-oriented national space policy, significantly increasing budgets and embracing capitalism via public-private partnerships. 1045-1100 B. GOLDSTONE FAILURE AND SUPERNOVA DISCOVERY Guest: Bob Zimmerman NASA's Goldstone antenna, a critical link in the Deep Space Network, is out of service due to an embarrassing error where it was over-rotated, twisting the cables. This impacts communications with interplanetary and Artemis missions. Separately, new astronomical data from a supernova explosion shows the initial eruption was not symmetrical but bipolar, pushing material and light along the star's poles, refining explosion models. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1. JOSEPHUS AND THE SIEGE OF JODAPATA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Jewish revolt against Rome, starting in 66 AD, is primarily chronicled by Josephus, a leader of the revolt and later historian. Josephus commanded the defense of Jodapata against General Vespasian. After defeat, Josephus survived a mass suicide pact, surrendered, and convinced Vespasian not to kill him by predicting he would become Roman emperor. The rebels were inspired by previous victories like the Maccabees. 1115-1130 2. TITUS'S SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Nero's forced suicide in 68 AD and the subsequent chaos confirmed Josephus's prophecy, leading to Vespasian being proclaimed emperor in 69 AD. Vespasian left his son Titus to lay siege to Jerusalem in 70 AD. Though Jerusalem was a strong fortress, the defenders were critically weakened by infighting among three rebel factions and their own destruction of the city's necessary grain supply. 1130-1145 3. SURVIVAL DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Before the siege of Jerusalem was sealed, two foundational groups fled: Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai, smuggled out to Yavneh to establish Rabbinic Judaism, and the followers of Jesus, who went to Pella. Titus focused the Roman assault on the city's weakest point, the northern wall. The overconfident Romans were repeatedly frustrated by Jewish defenders using effective irregular tactics, including raids and undermining siege equipment. 1145-1200 4. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AND MASADA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Flavians decided to completely destroy Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD, an act of extreme Roman imperialism that left the city in ruins. Afterwards, Judea was upgraded to a formal Roman province with a governor and the 10th Legion quartered in Jerusalem. Four years later, the siege of Masada ended with the alleged suicide of defenders, though archaeological evidence remains controversial among scholars. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Greenlights ROK Enrichment, Raising Proliferation Fears Guest: Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center The US agreement to support the Republic of South Korea's civil uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing for peaceful uses is viewed by Sokolski as a movement toward proliferation. Sokolski notes that this decision greenlights the ROK—a treaty ally with a history of attempting to use its civil programs to make nuclear weapons—to a position similar to Iran's. The ROK successfully leveraged the inconsistency of US policy, pointing out that Japan has permission to enrich and reprocess fuel and possesses a massive plutonium stockpile. Granting the ROK these capabilities sets a concerning precedent, potentially compelling the US to allow other countries like Saudi Arabia to seek similar nuclear options. The proliferation concern is heightened further by the ROK's desire for a nuclear-powered submarine, which could lead to pursuit of a full nuclear weapons triad. 1215-1230 SOKOLSKI: CHINA'S CONVENTIONAL ICBM THREAT Guest: Henry Sokolski The US military is concerned China's PLA may field a conventionally armed ICBM able to strike the continental US. Such missiles could use maneuverable front ends to evade defenses and deliver autonomous drones. This weapon might target civil infrastructure to intimidate the US and deter intervention during a Taiwan conflict. This prospect is opening up a new and puzzling area of strategic warfare requiring urgent strategic assessment. 1230-1245 A. RARE EARTHS: CHINA'S MONOPOLY AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY Guest: David Archibald China's predatory pricing previously achieved a rare earth monopoly, damaging competitors like Lynas, which almost went bankrupt. Australia, via companies like Lynas and Iluka, is being eyed by the US as a non-Chinese source for rare earths critical for high-end electronics and defense. Processing is complex, requiring many steps, and often occurs in places like Malaysia. 1245-100 AM B. HIGH-TEMPERATURE RARE EARTHS AND PREDATORY PRICING Guest: David Archibald The most desirable rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, allow magnets to function at high temperatures. China is now sourcing 40% of its supply of these from Myanmar. Though Australia produces these, structural oversupply is a risk. Subsidies, like the floor price given to MP Materials, may be necessary to prevent Chinese predatory pricing from killing off non-commercial producers seeking market dominance.

Meet Saw and Brittany Naing, the husband-and-wife team powering Ojai's rock-and-roll barbecue joint Joplin's — and the culinary force many locals already know from The Dutchess. Saw grew up in Myanmar under military rule, fronting a heavy-metal band whose politically charged lyrics earned him unwelcome attention from the junta before he emigrated to Los Angeles in 2007.Los Angeles Times+1 In California kitchens he traded guitar amps for grill grates, cooking everywhere from Bouchon and Café Pinot to Tallula's in Santa Monica before finally landing in Ojai as chef-partner at The Dutchess, where he cooks a deeply personal Burmese-Indian-meets-California menu.Ojai Food and Wine+1Brittany came up through the music world too, running an online music publication, De La Vie TV, before moving into restaurants, eventually becoming beverage director at The Dutchess and creating Namari, a cult-favorite non-alcoholic amaro.Namari+3Joplin's+3Podbay+3 Together they dreamed up Joplin's — named for the dog who adopted them during the pandemic — a “food, drinks, rock & roll” roadhouse on East Ojai Avenue where Texas-style barbecue picks up Burmese and Indian accents, local meat and produce, and a seriously dialed-in playlist.Eater LA+4Joplin's+4Los Angeles Times+4In this episode we talk about Saw's journey from Rangoon stages to Ojai smokers, Brittany's path from showrunner to beverage innovator, the near-miss rock-and-roll pop-up that Covid canceled, and how they've poured every second act of their lives into Joplin's and The Dutchess. It's a conversation about risk, reinvention, and what happens when you take “low and slow” as a life philosophy, not just a way to cook ribs.We did not talk about whether Limp Bizkit is actually nu-metal, cloning polo ponies or the consequences of the Foreign Plot on the French Revolution.

This week as we have just wrapped up the Music Tectonics Conference in person in Santa Monica, I thought I'd do something a little bit different and release a clip from our pre-conference a couple of months ago by Mark Mulligan of MIDiA research called "Crossroads: Streaming's Time to Choose."    In this keynote, Mark talks about the pressures facing streaming from AI generated content flooding platforms to Gen Z's slower adoption rates and why the industry needs to move from optimization to revolution. We also open it up for some thoughtful questions at the end from you, our community, so stick around for that.    The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

Imagine being told you have a terminal illness. Would it change the way you approach each day? Two years ago, Thad Reichley went to the doctor because he had the flu. When initial attempts to address his symptoms were unsuccessful, additional procedures revealed the presence of three dozen tumors in the lining around his lungs. He was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. There is no known cure for the disease. A father, husband, educator, and pro-level endurance athlete, Thad's “job” over the past 24 months has been to fight cancer and stay alive. In addition to his treatments' side effects (fever, vomiting, inflammation of the eyes, and savage bouts of colitis), Thad has learned to navigate the negative “you are not enough" voices in his head. He's also come to change his expectations about what makes a good day. “Sometimes” he says, that while trying to carpe every diem, “just walking the dog has to be enough.” Thad and I know each other through his wife, Leigh, who was my colleague on the sales team at Facebook in LA. She's a very funny, very committed person who, as you will hear, is no stranger to cancer. I am grateful to Thad for sharing his story and hope it inspires YOU to go to the doctor if you haven't been in a while. As importantly, I hope that it reminds you to cherish and protect your health and loved ones for as long as you have them. Here's how Thad sums it all up: 1. Go to the doctor 2. Listen to your wife 3. Hug your kids, and 4. Tell the people in your life you love them. Prior to his diagnosis, Thad spent two decades as an educator, both as a teacher and an administrator at well-known schools like Crossroads in Santa Monica and Mark Day School in Marin County. He earned his BA at the University of Washington, Master's degrees from both UCLA and Brown University, and his doctorate from the University of Southern California. ✍️Please rate and review Reasonably Happy (https://ratethispodcast.com/paulopod) ✍️
