Clean energy is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight climate change. Solar, wind, hydro - every kilowatt of clean power pushes fossil fuels a little further out the door. The big picture matters. And so do the small choices you make every day. This week's tip comes from the 5 Rs of Sustainability. The second one is Reduce. You don't have to go off the grid to make a difference. Just use less. Turn off lights you don't need. Buy fewer things you don't use. Cut back where you can. Small reductions add up fast - and they cost you nothing. Your wallet and the planet will both thank you. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

River replied to my question, "how does the podcast make your life better?"Marc, Your music and podcasts have helped me through so many parts of my life! Without knowing it, you have seen me through multiple deaths in my family, broken relationships, moving from one state to another, and multiple surgeries. Of course you have also been there through the many good times, such as meeting my awesome wife and the birth of our daughter! I found your podcast back in 05 or 06 while living in Florida by chance and became an instant fan. It took no time for me to download all of your music and the Brobdingnagian Bards music I could! Congratulations on over 20 years of podcasting and (if my math is right) about 3 decades of music! Keep up the amazing work! Your Constant Listener, ~River" Woodland Folk sent a picture of a fiddler. Is that Woodland Folk? He didn't say, but thank you for the photo! Cristen Y messaged on Patreon: "Greetings! I found a few resources on my own about keening! Not sure if you know about these folks but there is a great podcast I found called Candlelit Tales. The hosts tell Irish stories and then discuss them afterwards; they talked about keening on their March 15, 2020 episode titled "Whelans Live - Queen of the Banshee" in case you want to check it out :) I appreciate you!"
A grab-bag episode in which the title says it all: The 40th anniversary of the 1986 Mets, how failed Yankees shortstop Bobby Meacham would have performed if Baseball-Reference had his name correctly, the possibility of women playing major league baseball, Thurman Munson's Hall of Fame twin discussed, and a certain overweight catcher suffers a breakdown of impulse control. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Die Katze ist aus dem Sack: Assassin's Creed Black Flag - Resynced wurde endlich offiziell enthüllt! Ubisoft bringt das geliebte Piraten-Abenteuer in der brandneuen Anvil-Engine zurück – mit echtem Stealth, neuen Story-Kapiteln, frischen Shantys und... Affen und Katzen für unsere Jackdaw! Doch reicht eine hübsche Grafik-Generalüberholung, um uns heute noch vom Hocker zu hauen? Und traut sich Ubisoft, alte Schwächen wie das anspruchslose "One-Click"-Kampfsystem oder leere Open-World-Inseln endlich auszubügeln? In unserem Talk analysieren Moderatorin Lea, AC-Hardcore-Fan Dimi und unser bekennender Piraten-Hasser Micha das 30-minütige Gameplay-Reveal. Wir klären, warum das Original oft durch eine rosa-rote Nostalgiebrille gesehen wird, wieso der Verzicht auf die Abstergo-Gegenwart die Community spaltet und warum das Schicksal von ganz Ubisoft an diesem einen Remake hängen könnte. Setzt die Segel, stimmt einen Shanty an und diskutiert in den Kommentaren mit: Was MUSS das Remake eurer Meinung nach unbedingt liefern?

It's just Ronna (& Bryan) this week for a Carriage House Catch-Up and two very different questions. Jenny Zigrino's episode garnered a LOT of fun comments, and we even got a follow-up from the author of "Washington's Gay General!"

The title says it all. Inspired by a bit of research and by Nathan Evans shanty The Wellerman, this touches on aspects of the father of our country during the American Revolution and imagines what a shanty might sound like for the cause. Enjoy - it is brief, but IMHO of course, catchy!

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for January 16th Publish Date: January 16th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, January 16th and Happy Birthday to Albert Pujols I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 50th Annual Kennesaw/Big Shanty Festival Community holds out hope for Ted's Montana Grill on Marietta Square Cobb advances 2028 SPLOST, sets community meetings Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 6 STORY 1: 50th Annual Kennesaw/Big Shanty Festival Mark your calendars—April 18 and 19 is the 50th Annual Kennesaw/Big Shanty Festival, brought to you by Superior Plumbing. It’s all happening in downtown Kennesaw, with hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. What’s in store? Over 250 arts and crafts booths, fair food galore, a beer garden, kids’ activities, and live acoustic music in the food court all weekend. Don’t miss the Georgia Grown Member Village, showcasing local goods from across the state. Scott Thompson of Brother Mojo will play at the 1885 Grill food court, while the United Bankshares Amphitheater and Main Street’s entertainment stage will feature local dance groups, school choirs, and more. Admission’s free, and parking’s available at Adams Park, Kennesaw First Baptist, and Swift-Cantrell Park, with shuttles running from Swift-Cantrell. Questions? Call 770-423-1330 or email missy@jrmmanagement.com. STORY 2: Community holds out hope for Ted's Montana Grill on Marietta Square So, Ted’s Montana Grill is out. The long-vacant lot at 77 North Park Square stays empty, and the bison burgers? Not happening—at least for now. CEO George McKerrow, a Cobb local, said the decision came after a wave of public backlash. “In 50 years in this business, I’ve never seen this kind of vitriol,” he said. But here’s the twist: the tide on social media had actually shifted. By the time Ted’s pulled out, most comments were supportive. Even Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin invited McKerrow to walk the Square and reconsider. The lot’s been an eyesore since 2010, and Councilman Johnny Walker, who’s been pushing for something—anything—to fill the space, is frustrated. “If Ted’s doesn’t come back, it could be years before anyone else steps up,” he said. The $5 million project was ready to go: a 4,311-square-foot building designed to match the Square’s historic charm. But now? It’s back to square one. STORY 3: Cobb advances 2028 SPLOST, sets community meetings Cobb County’s 2028 SPLOST plan is officially in motion. On Tuesday, commissioners gave a unanimous thumbs-up to a preliminary list of projects, kicking off months of public input. What’s on the table? Everything from new fire stations and libraries to pedestrian safety upgrades and a $30 million aquatic center. The total? A hefty $790 million. Chair Lisa Cupid called it a balancing act: “Every dollar has a constituency. We need projects that move the county forward but also maintain the basics—roads, public safety, services.” Nine community meetings are set through March, giving residents a chance to weigh in before the final vote in April. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 6 STORY 4: Addison Elementary School principal charged with DUI Addison Elementary Principal Jill Spiva was arrested Thursday for DUI after a crash near the school, according to Cobb County Police. The wreck happened around 4:45 p.m. at Ebenezer and Sandy Plains roads, just minutes from Addison. Officers said Spiva appeared intoxicated and was at fault for the crash. A half-empty bottle of Smirnoff vodka was reportedly found in her car, per WSB-TV. Spiva refused sobriety and blood tests, prompting a judge to issue a warrant for a blood draw. She’s facing charges of DUI, open container, and failure to maintain lane. The district acknowledged the incident but declined to comment on her status. STORY 5: Mount Paran Christian enter apparel agreement with Nike and BSN Sports Mount Paran Christian School just announced a big win for its athletics program—a multi-year partnership with Nike and BSN SPORTS. Translation? Top-tier gear and branded apparel for student-athletes, coaches, and the entire MPC sports community. Nike will now be the official provider of athletic apparel and equipment, while BSN SPORTS steps in as the school’s brand distributor. “This partnership is huge,” said Athletic Director Mike Walker. “It’s about giving our athletes the best—gear that matches their heart and hustle.” The deal also lowers costs for families, sharpens team branding, and fuels MPC’s mission to compete at a championship level. FALCONS: The Atlanta Falcons officially introduced Matt Ryan as their new president of football on Tuesday, and honestly, it feels like a full-circle moment. At the press conference in Flowery Branch, Ryan—who spent 14 seasons as the face of the franchise—spoke about his “unfinished business” with the team. “Since I was drafted, my mission’s been the same: help this organization win championships. We came close, had some success, but I believe we’ll get there,” he said. After retiring and working as a CBS Sports analyst, Ryan said he wasn’t looking for a new job—unless it was with the Falcons. Now, he’ll report directly to owner Arthur Blank, focusing on hiring a head coach and GM who share a unified vision. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk We’ll have closing comments after this.
