Podcasts about spiking

This week I'm going to talk about how retirees can build a portfolio that is better designed to withstand inflation. We'll cover stocks, dividend-paying companies, bonds, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, and practical steps you can take to protect your purchasing power.

You're not failing. You've been fooled.The foods that were keeping me stuck, tired, inflamed, holding onto weight no matter what I did, were not the cookies. They weren't the candy. They weren't the obvious junk.They were the foods I was eating because I was trying to be healthy.The yogurt. The smoothie. The protein bar. The granola. The whole-grain everything. The stuff with the little health halo on the front of the package that made me feel good about my choices.And the whole time, they were spiking my insulin and quietly working against me.In this episode, I'm walking you through the seven worst offenders. The foods that look so good on paper and are keeping you stuck. We're also getting a little nerdy with the science (don't worry, I promise it'll make a difference), so you'll finally understand why insulin, not calories, is the number that actually matters. And I'll leave you with three simple swaps you can make this week to start taking your power back.If you've been doing everything right and still feel like your body isn't cooperating, this one's for you.Ready to start fixing your metabolism?

May 25, 2026 – Your Medicare premiums may be about to jump 20% or more, and most people are not prepared for it. In this eye-opening conversation, Jim Puplava sits down with Brian McArthur from Design My Medicare to unpack the forces driving the steepest supplement increases in years...

The dollar is rising again, and this time the pressure is showing up right across Asia. The Japanese yen is weak.  The South Korean won is tumbling.  The Indonesian rupiah is crashing. The Indian rupee keeps finding new ways to give officials fits. At the same time the dollar is rising against these Asian currencies, the very front of the U.S. dollar interest-rate market is doing something absolutely incredible. Shocking even. Completely the opposite of what you'd think. And here's the thing – these two developments are related. Why the dollar is hammering Asia most of all and how that would play out in rates. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

We've got a couple of interesting sets of numbers for you in this one.In this episode of the Music News, we kick things off with a look at the surge in popularity of heavy music in recent years. Attached to this data is the assertion that the state of the world is driving people back to the mosh. Correlation or causation? Moving from spike to slump, we then explore where Australia landed in the latest Global Music Report from the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry (IFPI). This year's report saw the Aussie market slide further down global rankings; and our modest year-on-year growth makes for uncomfortable reading. We round things off with an age old Homebrewed cloud-yell: Grand Final entertainment. In a win for Australian music, Gomeroi rapper Kobie Dee has been announced as the The A League Men's Grand Final entertainment. This follows the AFL's announcement that Kylie Minogue will perform at the biggest game of their season. We dive into why this is important and where other codes have been letting us down.

Today - how the market is parsing the titanic capex plans for the four Mag7 companies reporting after the US market close yesterday. With crude oil prices spiking aggressively, maintaining the AI exceptionalism trade will prove difficult unless prices back down. Also, a far more interesting FOMC meeting than was expected as Powell vows to stay on and put up a fight for Fed independence, a fight that is doomed to fail.

Well, the Spurs finished off their Round 1 opponent so of course we are happy about that, and have already starting planning for the dynasty. Jeff was at the game and provided some perspective on the crowd. Apparently a round one win means fire in the streets for some fans though. Yep, we spent a lot of time waxing poetic about this win. We briefly talk about Silver's new 3-2-1 anti-tanking proposal and are thankful this was not in place a few years ago.And there was a gambling scandal on top of a gambling plea deal on top of a smuggling allegation made by a yacht captain.

Insurance companies are getting very specific when assessing which properties are exposed to risks like flooding, an insurance expert says, but there's a limit. An intense storm like the one that hit some Wellington suburbs yesterday could have happened anywhere, making the risk much harder to pin down to individual properties, Bryce Davies —climate spokesperson for AMI, State, and NZI— told Mike Hosking. If people didn't address the risks to their properties from flooding and wind damage it would “absolutely” have an impact on their insurance premiums, he said. Insurers would also be increasingly focused on perils like landslips in the coming years. But Davies said AMI, State, and NZI weren't making blanket decisions to pull insurance from some areas. “We're here to insure people…that's our business and so we're focused on making sure that we can do that.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Výpadky paměti, rozmazané vidění, úzkosti ze ztráty kontroly, strach o své bezpečí nebo i o život. A pak roky plné nejistot a stresu, co se mi to vlastně stalo. Tak zhruba popisují své zkušenosti oběti drink spikingu, podání omamné látky do pití bez souhlasu. Nejběžnější představa o drink spikingu zahrnuje drogy hozené do pití někde v baru nebo na večírku. Za drink spiking se ale považuje třeba i přilévání alkoholu do nealkoholického drinku. A potkat vás může téměř kdekoliv.Všechny díly podcastu Názory a argumenty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

In this episode, We sit down with Kiwibank Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr to unpack the upcoming OCR decision, why rising oil prices are driving inflation, how demand destruction is already hitting spending, and what it all means for interest rates, mortgages, and the broader NZ economy over the next 3-6 months.For more money tips follow us on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The content in this podcast is the opinion of the hosts.

Plus, Georgia is seeing little relief at the gas pumps even after the state's gas tax was suspended. And, new Department of Homeland Security leadership could mean a slowdown for two Georgia warehouses slated to detain immigrants.

Tesla delivered 358,023 vehicles in Q1 2026 — missing analyst expectations of 372,000 for the second consecutive quarter while producing 50,000 more vehicles than it sold. The Iran war is disrupting the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil toward $100 a barrel and prompting Amazon to charge sellers a 3.5% fuel surcharge effective April 17th. OpenAI acquired TBPN — the buzzy founder-led tech talk show — making the AI giant's first media acquisition and concentrating both AI infrastructure and narrative infrastructure under one roof. And China's auto industry just published a deep analysis of Toyota's 70-year global journey asking whether Chinese brands can avoid Japan's mistakes on the path to global dominance. Obi connects every story back to NIO's positioning — why oil spikes make battery swap more valuable, why Tesla's stagnant product pipeline creates an opening for Chinese premium EVs, why NIO started premium when Japan took 70 years to get there, and why the ES9 reveal in 7 days is the most important product event in NIO's history.Nord Security Products:NordVPN: ⁠https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=143053&url_id=902⁠NordPass: ⁠https://go.nordpass.io/aff_c?offer_id=488&aff_id=143053&url_id=9356⁠Discord: https://discord.gg/GSbp4wR

The “Great Stall” is on. Home prices are stagnating or falling, and the hot markets are slowing down. Now, 40% of the U.S. housing market is in decline. This is exactly what we were waiting for. But new risks to the real estate market could flip this “stall” into something more serious. War. Spiking oil prices. A white-collar recession. What happens now? We're back with March's housing market update, giving you the newest data on home prices, inventory, affordability, and some surprisingly good insurance news.  We're living through what Dave predicted many months ago—the Great Stall. And while it may not sound all that great, there are actually some huge benefits of this stagnant market being passed on to homebuyers and real estate investors. In fact, your home insurance may actually be shrinking because of it. We'll get into detail on that in the show. But what about new risks? War in the Middle East, spiking gas prices, and rising unemployment. All of these could have serious effects on real estate. This isn't 2008 again, but we're carefully watching one metric that (if increased) could pose a substantial threat to the housing market.  In This Episode We Cover Why home prices “stalling” is actually a good thing for investors and homebuyers  Cheaper mortgage payments? Huge news for U.S. housing affordability Why home insurance prices are actually going down in the areas you'd least expect  How to save 5%-10% on your landlord insurance immediately (90% of people don't do this) The biggest risks to real estate which could threaten the housing market  Buyers: It's time.

Members of the International Energy Agency have unanimously agree to release 400 million barrels of oil reserves to help combat steep oil prices arising from the conflict in the Middle East. It equates to about four-days' worth and is the largest ever release of reserves in the agency's history. The US is releasing 172 million barrels from their Strategic Petroleum Reserve, beginning next week. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking the move will result in a 40% decrease in the US' oil backstop. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another regional conflict precipitating another energy security crisis has your intrepid hosts feeling some deja vu as we find ourselves in an increasingly familiar setting as we contemplate the opportunities and challenges presented in the current US-Israel war on Iran. Beyond the horrific human toll of the Trump administration's latest incoherent, all-tactics-no-strategy foray into the Middle East, there are some complex consequences to world energy markets playing out and it's too soon to tell where this all goes from here. Global oil prices? Spiking! And likely to lead to airfare cost increases. Gas prices? Also spiking! But not in Australia, say whaaat? Like we said, ‘It's Complicated'. Our main course We stick solidly ON THEME this week with ‘Fossil energy minimum viable scale: unseen infrastructural threats to safety and decarbonization may arise as fossil energy systems are phased out' from Joshua Lappen and Emily Grubert, published recently in Science. This compact paper packs a punch and has a couple of big ideas to engage with. One is that energy transition types have been want to assume legacy fossil fuel infrastructure will carry on at the required capacity over the required timeframes to see replacement renewables in place. NOT SO say our authors, who contend that minimum viable scales for operation are not well understood and are certainly not being factored into planning for the transition, when it comes to physical, financial and managerial constraints. Their advice? DO better modelling, planning and managing of these issues at an asset level. Elements of this paper felt super familiar (hello gas distribution network death spiral) whole others worrying novel (oh hi there fuel-refinery-that-won't-operate-under-65%-capacity). Liked the provocations here we did! One more things Tennant's One More Thing is: Cloud Carrier's proposal to power a new data centre in NSW entirely by natural gas. Lots of debates sure to come! Frankie's One More Thing is: continued excitement at all things methane abatement focused, from the CCA's stated priority to look at this in 2026 to the NSW EPA's consultation on measures it may implement to reduce or destroy fugitive methane emissions from coal mining. Luke's One More Thing is: listener voicemail from none other than Baethan Mullen, CEO of the Superpower Institute, who left us a note with his reaction to our reaction to their recent paper on pricing carbon pollution.

The war with Iran has sent global oil prices soaring and there's a lot of uncertainty about what comes next. Here in Massachusetts, that turmoil is affecting many residents who rely on fuel oil to heat their homes.

Gas prices in Southern California are skyrocketing, with Los Angeles County seeing averages of $5.17 per gallon and some stations charging over $8. The surge is attributed to the war in Iran and California's regulatory policies. The national average has jumped nearly 50 cents since the conflict began. Drivers are struggling, especially those relying on their vehicles for income. Experts note that reduced in-state gasoline production is exacerbating the problem. Websites like GasBuddy.com can help drivers find the cheapest prices nearby. The situation highlights the vulnerability of consumers to geopolitical events and the impact of local regulations on energy costs. Is the $8.21 price a sign of things to come?

### Segment 5 Headline: Rising Fuel Prices in Lancaster County and Local Revolutionary War History Summary: Jim McTague reports on spiking gasoline costs in Pennsylvania due to Middle Eastconflict and explores Lancaster's brief tenure as the United States' capital city. Guest: Jim McTague Number: 5 (5)1890 VALLEY FORGE PA

War in the Middle East has caused oil prices to spike, and — right on cue — gasoline prices have risen quickly. They're up 34 cents in a week, according to AAA. That's the fastest price increase at the pump since 2022. And diesel prices just topped $4 a gallon this week, which will likely push up the cost of anything shipped by truck or train. Also on the program: a look at what's driving Texas supermarket construction.

While some models aim to explain qualitative features of brain activity, other aim to reproduce experimental data quantitatively. If so, model parameters must be adjusted to make the model predictions fit the experimental data. A complication is that in most neurobiological applications, there is not a unique best fit: many parameter combinations give equally good model fits. Recently, the guest, together with colleagues, made the tool AutoMIND to fit spiking network models to data.  

We discuss the online live streaming phenom that is Clavicular and looksmaxxing as a feminisation of a masculine dynamic. Looksmaxxing's technologisation of the body is now firmly part of the transhumanist and posthumanist universe, as Peter Thiel's affinity with Clavicular (Braden Peters) indicates.  If Bryan Johnson's optimisation of the body is posthumanism in service of health in the face of death as the ultimate reality, looksmaxxing is its far unhealthier, destructive cousin. To what extent is adopting the gaze of others as a barometer of worth actually helpful to Clav's young male fanbase of chads, chuds, incels, and moggers? And why has this new peculiar language sprung up around the subculture of looksmaxxing?Plus, classmaxxing, why romantic love is necessarily a bit embarrassing, live streaming as the video gamification of real life, and the role of autism and social inhibition in all of this.

Software default rates could hit double digits as AI disruption spreads and loans come due, according to Bain Capital. “We’re going to see real stress,” said Angelo Rufino, the firm’s head of special situations in North America and corporate special situations in Europe. “We will see a full credit cycle as the reckoning really comes to resize capital structures to the earnings power of these business models,” he tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s David Havens in this episode of the Credit Edge podcast. They also discuss investment-grade private credit, data center debt and asset-based finance, including the rise of music-royalty deals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

California, once a powerhouse of domestic energy production, now finds itself increasingly reliant on foreign fuel sources. Driven by stringent environmental regulations and policies that have led to the closure of numerous refineries, the state is now importing fuel to meet its energy demands. This shift raises critical questions about energy independence and the true cost of California's climate initiatives. Is this a sustainable path forward, or are these policies undermining the state's energy security and driving up costs for consumers? We explore the implications of California's energy policies and their impact on the state's economy and its citizens. It's time to examine the facts and ask: Are California's green dreams turning into an energy nightmare?

Most people unknowingly sabotage their metabolism and liver health first thing in the morning. In this episode, Ben explains why common “healthy” breakfasts spike insulin, shut down fat burning, and block liver repair before the day even begins. You'll learn what actually happens in your body overnight, why morning insulin sensitivity is so fragile, and how sugary or carb-heavy breakfasts lock you into fat storage mode all day long. Ben breaks down the hidden sugar content in foods like smoothies, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, and juice, and explains why this is a timing issue, not a willpower issue. Ben also shares a simple liver-reset morning protocol, including when to delay breakfast, when to eat, and what to eat to support fat burning, stable energy, and better labs. He answers common questions about fasting, muscle loss, women's hormones, smoothies, and why traditional breakfast advice is outdated. If you struggle with stubborn belly fat, morning brain fog, energy crashes, or worsening labs despite “doing everything right,” this episode will change how you think about breakfast forever.

Retailers say they're selling out of the new state flag since ICE has been in town. Have people's opinion's changed? Or is this just another proxy battle?

You don't have a willpower problem. You have an insulin problem. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down nine foods commonly marketed as “healthy” that are secretly spiking insulin, blocking fat burning, and keeping belly fat stuck, even if you're eating clean or cutting calories. You'll learn why fat loss is driven by hormones, not calories, and how insulin shuts down your body's ability to burn stored fat. Ben explains how foods like whole wheat bread, fruit juice, instant oatmeal, protein bars, low-fat yogurt, almond milk, agave, granola, and whole grain cereal can all create metabolic gridlock. More importantly, he shares simple food swaps that lower insulin faster than fasting, reduce cravings, stabilize energy, and restore metabolic flexibility. This episode also challenges the calories-in vs calories-out myth, explains why food quality matters more than calorie counting, and reinforces a core truth of metabolic health: you don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. You'll also hear about: How insulin locks fat storage in place Why fructose targets the liver and increases visceral fat The role of inflammation in stubborn weight gain Why breakfast sets your fat-burning or fat-storing mode for the day Simple swaps that can flatten your belly within a week

Ralph once again welcomes Chuck Collins, heir to the Oscar Meyer fortune and one of the founders of Patriotic Millionaires, to discuss his agenda for reform outlined in his new book BURNED BY BILLIONAIRES: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Are Ruining Our Lives and Planet. Then Sarah Moskowitz, Executive Director of the Citizens Utility Board of Illinois (CUB), joins us to tell us how to fight back against AI data centers that are spiking your electric bills.Chuck Collins directs the Charity Reform Initiative at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he also co-edits Inequality.org. He co-founded the Patriotic Millionaires and United for a Fair Economy, and he is the author of Born on Third Base and The Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions. His new book is Burned by Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Are Ruining Our Lives and Planet.There's a number of examples of how we could create a decency floor that many societies have (including, obviously, Canada) that you can't fall below those levels. Same with education, access to education. These are universal opportunity programs that good societies maintain. You raise the floor and you create a level playing field. But the reality is we're not going to get any of those if we don't address this concentration of wealth and power, which is essentially blocking us from moving toward these reforms we're talking about.Chuck CollinsSarah Moskowitz is Executive Director of the Citizens Utility Board, a nonprofit, nonpartisan group with the mission to fight for the rights of customers of investor-owned electric, gas and telecom utilities across Illinois.That's part of what we're really proud of here at CUB Illinois is that you can reach a human. You might have to leave a message, but we will call you back and answer your questions and then talk through what's really going on.Sarah MoskowitzA lot of our work at CUB is just helping people connect the dots behind the policies that are resulting in these really high bills. It's shrouded in mystery and it's dry. It's boring. You don't want to think about it after you've been working all day. And that's why we're here—to keep tabs on all that stuff and help illuminate that for folks…And it's a moving target. Things are happening at the state level. Things are happening at the federal level. And so when you're looking at your bill, it's a culmination of a whole spectrum of jurisdictions and a whole spectrum of regulators making decisions, each having an impact on what you pay every month in a different way. And it's quite overwhelming.Sarah MoskowitzMore Show Notes:CUB ProjectUtility Consumers Action NetworkCub Model Law Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
