A coast guardsman named Earl Cunningham froze to death on Lake Michigan trying to rescue five fishermen trapped on a drifting ice sheet. His last words were "I wish I could see my wife and three children once more." That was February 1936. A few months later, the same country that had been paralyzed by temperatures of negative sixty was recording temperatures above 110. Sidewalks exploded. Spare tires detonated and sent hubcaps through restaurant windows. A heat-crazed elephant in San Francisco killed its zookeeper and was sentenced to death after a courtroom trial. People slept on rooftops to escape the heat and rolled off to their deaths. At least 12,000 North Americans died in what remains the deadliest heat wave in the continent's history. Today's guest is Geoff Williams, author of The Summer of Death: The Great Heat Wave of 1936 and the Making of Modern-Day America. We discuss how a Polish immigrant died tending furnaces at a Chevrolet factory because that was the job given to immigrants and Black workers, why Marlene Dietrich fainted shooting a movie in the Arizona desert where the baby camel died with sand in its stomach, and how men were arrested for taking their shirts off at the beach while a Kentucky police matron ordered officers to cite girls over ten for wearing shorts. Williams argues that the summer of 1936 was the hinge point that created modern America, forcing the country to embrace air conditioning, rethink how workers are protected, and begin the first serious conversations about climate change, and that nearly every lesson from that catastrophe has since been either forgotten or actively ignored.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sidewalk_Graffiti_Causes_Trouble_for_Henry

Most neighborhoods have an invisible boundary where public space ends and private property begins. Rachel Harms Mahlandt started questioning that boundary after discovering tiny installations scattered around Portland: a rubber duck exchange, a toy car swap, miniature galleries, and other invitations to stop and interact. She eventually built her own, then began mapping hundreds of similar projects through Sidewalk Joy. What started with a dinosaur diorama in her front yard has become a way for strangers to linger, trade something small, meet a neighbor, and treat the edge of private property as a place for connection.

This episode is a rambling, laugh-out-loud tour through small annoyances and the oddities of modern life. Our hosts trade stories about their worst jobs — from overnight biscuit-making to Amazon shifts — and the ridiculous reasons people get fired. They riff on pet peeves like slow walkers monopolizing sidewalks and loud phone conversations while checking out. Debates spiral into whether a hot dog is a sandwich, if Pop-Tarts are ravioli, and which way toilet paper should hang. With nostalgic detours about malls, drive-ins and punk rock, the conversation is chaotic, relatable and unapologetically silly.

An unassuming sidewalk is something we tread on daily, but rarely give it a second thought. Yet it sits at the crossroads of property rights, local democracy, public health, climate resilience, and urban planning. On this intriguing episode of Mountain Money, co-hosts Roger Goldman and Kevin Kennedy sit down with Michael Pollack, professor of law at the Cardozo School of Law and author of Sidewalk Nation: Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource. Pollack breaks down why putting the financial burden of sidewalk repairs on adjacent property owners is an inequitable "sidewalk roulette," how cities like Denver are reforming public space management through voter referendums, and why simplifying municipal oversight into a dedicated "Department of Sidewalks" could unlock tremendous economic and social value for communities across the country.

Anthony Fauci faced the Senate and answered with the Fifth Amendment—111 times. John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller unpack the “explosive non-testimony,” the legacy Fauci and Francis Collins left behind, and how federal research funding helped create a market for fetal tissue obtained from abortion providers. They revisit Sen. Joni Ernst's questions about fetal-tissue research, David Daleiden's Planned Parenthood investigations, and why so many Americans now see medicine through a political lens. Then, in Stories from the Sidewalk, Linda Teliha shares what happens when a pregnant young woman arrives at Planned Parenthood with a car full of friends, why the quiet friend may matter most, and how one flower, one honest conversation, and one person willing to say “I'll help you” can change everything.

Stores and restaurants don't just play music to fill the silence. The tempo, volume, and even the style of music are often carefully chosen because they can quietly influence your behavior and even how much money you spend. Once you know what's happening, you'll start hearing those playlists very differently. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/002224298204600313 Your brain performs an astonishing magic trick every second of every day. It decides what deserves your attention—and what doesn't. Most of the time that's incredibly helpful. But it also means important clues, costly mistakes, opportunities, and even obvious dangers can sit right in front of you without you ever noticing them. Why does that happen, and can you train yourself to see what you've been missing? Here to explain is Keelan Leyser, a digital illusionist and one of the world's leading experts on attention and perception. Along with the late neuropsychologist David Lewis, he is co-author of the book Unseen: Blind Spots and Why We Miss What Matters Most (https://amzn.to/4ylvxkh). Most of us walk on sidewalks without giving them a second thought. But once you start asking simple questions—Who actually owns the sidewalk? Who is responsible to maintain it? Why do some sidewalks suddenly end? And why do some streets have no sidewalks at all? —you discover that sidewalks are surprisingly complicated and have become the center of debates over property rights, public space, safety, and even free speech. Michael Pollack takes us into a world that's been hiding in plain sight. He is Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Faculty Development at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and author of the book Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource (https://amzn.to/4fBOhEJ). When you suddenly need to buy something—a new refrigerator, a laptop, a plane ticket, almost anything—it's easy to assume you have no choice but to pay whatever it costs. In reality, there's one surprisingly simple habit that can keep "must buy it now" moments from quietly costing you hundreds of dollars over time. https://www.consumerreports.org/money/shopping/how-to-save-money-shopping-online/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

The entire Nelson family become captivated by a construction project and try sidewalk superintending. - Originally aired November 16, 1951

In most parts of the United States and elsewhere, sidewalks exist in a legal grey area. They are public spaces that, at least when it comes to things such as maintenance and snow removal, are largely the responsibility of private property owners. They are subject to all manner of laws that govern what kinds of activities can take place on them, laws that change not just from city to city, but sometimes from neighborhood to neighborhood, block to block, and address to address. They are also an important part of the transportation network and a key component in the effort to keep pedestrians safe, although certainly not a panacea, even in rural areas. Michael Pollack, the author of an excellent new book, Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource, thinks that sidewalks need a whole lot more consideration in legal and governing circles, and even goes so far as to advocate for the creation of a Department of Sidewalks that can cut through the rather opaque rules that govern these narrow strips of concrete. (Or other materials, given that many sidwalks are often governmed by historic preservation laws.) ***For an extended, ad-free version of this episode featuring a bonus conversation about sidewalk delivery robots, become a Patreon supporter of The War on Cars.*** SHOW NOTES: Buy Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resourc and support independent booksellers at our official Bookshop.org page.

When Washington state asked which residents had access to frequent transit, it ran into a surprisingly basic problem: that question is hard to answer without knowing where sidewalks, crossings and curb ramps actually are. Dr. Anat Caspi, director of the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology at the University of Washington, joins the show to talk about Open Sidewalks, a project that helps communities map pedestrian infrastructure in a shared, usable format. Her team has mapped hundreds of thousands of sidewalks, and now residents can help add the local details that determine whether a route actually works in daily life.

Denver voters approved a tax hike in 2022 to fund much-needed sidewalk repairs, and after a lot of back-and-forth from City Council, those repairs are finally underway. Not only do sidewalks make pedestrian life safer and urban transit more accessible, but they are also an important indicator of a healthy city.

He was blind. He was self-taught. And for nearly thirty years he stood on a sidewalk on 6th Avenue in Manhattan dressed like a Viking — cloak, horned helmet, spear — while the city hurried past and called him a curiosity.His name was Moondog. What almost no one rushing by understood was that the man on the corner was a serious composer, building orchestral works in his head and on paper, year after year, whether or not anyone stopped to listen.This week on The Mortals, I tell his story — and what a man who wrote symphonies on a street corner can teach the rest of us about mortality, dignity, and refusing to die with the music still inside you. Make the work while you're still here to make it. Don't wait for the room to understand you first.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Recently, Seattle began requiring companies to use technology to prevent people from riding on the sidewalk. To learn more about injury prevention, we talk with UW epidemiology professor Steve Mooney, who's studied injuries involving micromobility devices.

Michael Pollack, professor of law at Cardozo School of Law, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his book Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, associate professor of law at Emory University, and was edited by Tanya Eathakotti, a law student at Emory University.

Tonight, on this explosive episode of Light ‘Em Up.If you are hearing this episode, it is a miracle from God. Believe me!About a week ago with no advanced warning, we suffered the most serious catastrophic equipment failure that we've ever experienced — thanks to Windows 11. The Security settings on Windows 11 cancelled our access to our “drivers” which support our show. We scrambled; we researched the problem day and night, tried one of everything and troubleshot the issue until we were asleep on our feet.Long story short, we're back!  Bill Gates can't keep a good show down!Tonight, we focus our investigative reporting skills with the intensity of a surgical laser on better understanding officer- induced jeopardy, which also can be referred to as officer- created jeopardy."Officer-induced jeopardy" refers to situations where a police officer's own unreasonable tactics, actions, or decisions prior to a force encounter unnecessarily create or escalate the danger, increasing the likelihood that force will be needed.The phrases of “officer-induced jeopardy” or “officer-created jeopardy” describe actions taken by police officers that increase the risk of injury to the officer and escalate the probability of use of lethal force by officers, which may have been avoided had the officer not placed himself or herself in a self-created dangerous situation.Be clear in the fact that this action stems from willful actions taken by the officer that put the officer and the person of interest or suspect in danger … such as:—                 rushing in without backup,—                 poor de-escalation skills and tactics,—                 or standing in front of a fleeing vehicle, which may have been avoided.Officers rarely are but can be criminally prosecuted for using force when their actions led to escalation during contact with subjects. However, the facts bear out that fewer than 3% of killings by police result in officers being charged with a crime.Recently, a fan of the show contacted us and informed us of an incident where their family — in their home -- became inadvertent ear and eyewitnesses being directly next door to where the Akron Police Department had terminated a vehicle pursuit — barricading and cornering a driver in his vehicle and ordering him to exit his vehicle while at gun point:  More than 10 officers with their weapons drawn and pointed at the person who had previously committed what would amount to minor misdemeanors.The family that contacted us were concerned because they were in the direct line of crossfire if the officers decided to fire.This unnecessary contact with a 66-year-old black man (the suspect) could have easily turned into a “contagious fire” incident, with many of those shots coming from high-powered, military style assault rifles.In this explosive episode, in order to further our understanding about officer- induced jeopardy —   as a case study we'll examine Barnes v. Felix, 605 U.S. ___ (2025), which is a recent Supreme Court decision which assesses whether an officer acted reasonably in using force under the Fourth Amendment, and that a court must consider all the relevant circumstances, including facts and events leading up to the climactic moment.And we'll touch upon a few brief case summaries and instances that support our topic …As well as:—     How the use-of-force management training has changed over the course of the last decade.—     How has the use of less-lethal tools and devices changed?And …—     What we feel law enforcement agencies in the 21st Century should focus more on when it comes to officer- induced jeopardy and the use-of-force continuum.All this, pero mucho más aquí y solamente aquí — on Light ‘Em Up!The search for the truth and justice begins RIGHT HERE … and RIGHT NOW!Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

We're strolling through a smattering of topics today on the sidewalk. TJ creates a 5th park for Disney World, Landon wonders if we'll hit a "Disney World Cold Zone" when the kids get older, and of course we talk resorts and hit the 3 Questions to end the show.  * * * * * *

Evan Clark and Natalie Eger are college students studying sociology in Lexington, Virginia, and they came back from the 2025 National Gathering in Providence, RI fired up to do something. In the past year they've built a thriving local conversation group, turned a city council member into a regular at their monthly meetings, and had a broken sidewalk fixed fourteen days after they flagged it. They walk through how they started from scratch, made real change at the local level, and kept people showing up month after month.

"Black leather jacket."   Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Torie, and icon James Grady. David did indeed cry at his son's graduation, and Torie lived Book Fair-palooza in Gaithersburg and Oyster Bay.  Miami literary legend Mitchell Kaplan of Books & Books joined in to nominate Chantel Acevedo for "The Pitch."   Her new book "Cages" is out in June.  Crossing Cuba, London, and Miami, it reveals themes of love, exile, and identity.  Jim shares back stories about Robert Redford and the incentive to write his latest, "Shadows on Sidewalks."  As Bob Dylan said, " sex and politics and murder is the way to go if you want to get people's attention."  Grady will get lots of attention with "Shadows," yet another reason The Washington Post compared his writing to George Orwell and Bob Dylan.

Twenty-five years ago, my sister Alissa Turney disappeared. For most of that time, I have lived in the space between grief and action, between not knowing and refusing to look away. This episode is different. It is shorter, more personal, and less about retelling every detail of Alissa's case than it is about marking what this anniversary means. Twenty-five years is an impossible amount of time to measure. It is birthdays missed, milestones stolen, questions unanswered, and a kind of grief that changes shape but never leaves. But this year also feels like a threshold the end of one road and the beginning of another. This is the place where the sidewalk ends. And for me, it is where the fight for justice continues.

We find out that Amy might have fun out alone with Riley Green and she starts blushing when talking about it. We talked to our listener Naomi who just received a $30,000 bonus and needs advice on how to spend it. Does she go on vacation or does she be responsible and save it? Bobby talked about the crazy video of investigators saying the driver pulled onto the sidewalk and allegedly attempted to strike a teenager riding a bike, then chased them!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did New York City really shut down for a stuffed animal? Opie and Ron the Waiter dive into the absurdity of King Charles' visit to NYC, where the "Royal work" consisted of planting salad in Harlem and donating a Roo doll to a library. Was it worth the gridlock?​Plus, a reality check on the "disgusting" state of NYC sidewalks after the winter thaw. Why are New Yorkers so bad at being dog owners? We also look at the rise of the machines—from AI taking over airport baggage handling to robot neighborhood watches. The robots are coming for the "un-automatable" jobs, and they're probably better at picking up dog poop than we are.​Follow Opie:​Instagram/Twitter: @OpieRadio​YouTube: Opie Clips / Opie Radio
