    We close out the year on SmarterMarkets™ with Part One of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review.   2025 has been a big year full of big months here at Abaxx and at SmarterMarkets™, and we're closing out 2025 by revisiting the conversations with our guests that helped us understand and articulate the themes that would come to define the year.    2025 was the year in which we discovered that this was not the energy transition that we were expecting; and the year in which a new geopolitical reality emerged and old geopolitical concerns resurfaced. It was the year featuring a tale of two carbon markets and the need for new weather markets to manage the risks posed by reliance on renewable power. And 2025 was the year in which there was both a new gold rush and a rush into tokenization.   We hope you'll sit back, relax, and enjoy Part One of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review.   Our guests in order of appearance:   Andy Home – Senior Metals Columnist, Thomson Reuters SM213 – 1.18.2025 – The State of Play in Battery Metals   Andrea Hotter – Special Correspondent, Fastmarkets SM214 – 1.25.2025 – The State of Play in Battery Metals   Peter Zaman – Partner, HFW Singapore SM218 – 2.22.2025 – Carbon Frontiers 2025   Nobuo Tanaka – Executive Director Emeritus, International Energy Agency (IEA) SM246 – 8.30.2025 – Summer Playlist 2025   Helima Croft – Managing Director & Global Head of Commodity Strategy, RBC Capital Markets SM245 – 8.23.2025 – Summer Playlist 2025   Dave Ernsberger & Mark Eramo – Co-Presidents, S&P Global Commodity Insights SM251 – 10.4.2025 – Catching Up On Climate   Rene Velasquez – Managing Partner, Valitera SM219 – 3.1.2025 – Carbon Frontiers 2025   Mark Lewis – Partner & Managing Director, Climate Finance Partners LLC and Former Head of Research, Andurand Capital SM216 – 2.8.2025 – Carbon Frontiers 2025   Hannah Hauman – Global Head of Carbon Trading, Trafigura SM250 – 9.27.2025 – Catching Up On Climate   Theresa Kammel & Pierre Buisson – Originator & Senior Structurer, Weather & Agro Zurich, Munich Re SM241 – 7.26.2025 – Summer Playlist 2025

    An alternative to postbac programs? Postbac programs are okay, but what if there was another path to medical school? M2s Sarah Upton, Alec Marticoff, and Kevin Gubner host the program directors of the Carver College of Medicine’s Masters of Clinical Anatomy Program. Interestingly, each co-host decided to get a MCA to make up for some shortcomings in their med school applications, whether it was soft a GPA or a lack of applicable hard science education. To do that, they could have done any number of things–like an expensive post-baccalaureate program that offers no degree–but instead they chose to seek an MCA degree to pave their way to medical school. Co-directors Marc Pizzimenti and Emma Handler visited with The Short Coat to discuss the program, what it’s like for students, and the additional skills that they got, including instruction in teaching…something they wouldn’t have gotten in a postbac program. In the end, the MCA program not only taught them anatomy–something they’d definitely need as physicians someday–but also helped them fix their undergrad shortcomings, readied them for the rigors of studying medicine, and built their teaching skills–all with an incredible student-faculty ratio they wouldn’t have gotten in many other degree programs. Plus they get to tack on some sweet letters after their names!

    Mayor Josh Agee returns to The Paragould Podcast for his annual State of the City conversation — his sixth appearance on the show. In this episode, Josh walks us through what the City of Paragould has actually accomplished over the past year, how major decisions are made, and what's shaping the city's future. We talk about infrastructure projects like trail expansion, sidewalks, land bank redevelopment, and pocket parks, as well as the behind-the-scenes realities of public safety, disaster response, and city budgeting. Josh also reflects on the challenges of leadership in the age of social media, why representative government exists, and what it costs — financially and relationally — to keep a city running. From tornado recovery and emergency response to long-term investment, trash services, and economic development, this conversation offers a clear picture of how Paragould is growing and why collaboration matters. Whether you're curious about city projects, civic process, or the vision for making Paragould a place people want to move to — and come back to — this episode provides helpful context and honest perspective.

    Across the globe, democracy is in crisis - in the UK alone, it has been rocked by Brexit, the pandemic and successive attempts by governments to bypass legal norms. But how did this happen, and where might we go from here? Jonathan Sumption cuts through the political noise with acute analysis of the state of democracy today - from the vulnerabilities of international law to the deepening suppression of democracy activism in Hong Kong, and from the complexities of human rights legislation to the defence of freedom of speech. Timely, incisive and wholly original, Challenges of Democracy: And the Rule of Law (Profile Books, 2026) applies the brilliance of 'the cleverest man in Britain' to the most urgent and far-reaching political issue of our day. Jonathan Sumption is a British judge and historian, who served as a Supreme Court Justice for six years. He is the author of the Sunday Times Bestseller Trials of the State, Law in a Time of Crisis, and Divided Houses, which won the 2009 Wolfson History Prize. Charles Coutinho, PH.

    Washtenaw County Commissioner, Yousef Rabhi, recently joined us as one of our guests for a special live State of Water podcast recording at Leon Lofts in Ann Arbor. Yousef tells the origin story of discovering his passion for the environment and public service in preschool that set the stage for a life of advocating for working class people, the water, and the environment through his roles as County Commissioner and State Represenative. Yousef shares many inspiring stories and reflections including about his deep belief in the power of 1 vote and the ability of working class people to come together across divisions in resistance to the wealthy's exploitation of land, water, and communities. Yousef also speaks eloquently about the challenges and opportunities that exist in the current data center battle in Washtenaw County, Michigan and beyond and describes how he views tech as a moral question - who is it helping and who is it hurting?

    I lied on this one! Our SECOND National Champion to join us on the show (Shoutout to@kylewiltjer) we have one of the best to do it in the late 90's, a smooth guard from Brampton Mr. David Thomas! David has a great story from time in high school to figuring out what College to attend. In the end he chose Michigan State University, home of legends like Magic Johnson and many others. What came to fruition was a moment in history for MSU, the 2000 National Championship defeating the Florida Gators in the final!  Being around so many great teammates like Mateen Cleaves and Mo Pete, David elevated his game and although his stats weren't high he put his name into the NBA draft. After a month long stint in Miami David didn't crack a roster and took his talents to Australia where he had lots of success. It was a trip with the Canadian National Team where David knew the time had come, and he had to walk from the game.  Since retiring, David spent multiple seasons with the Michigan State Team but took time away to be closer to family. David now finds himself working multiple jobs, balancing life and kids who are great athletes themselves! His son is a top recruit in the State!  Episode 174 is a gem, with a great person. We thank David for being with us and hope you can find time to spend your Boxing Day with us!

    Donna Adelson Trial: Explosive Opening Statements Exposed

    In this 2025 Year-in-Review Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski breaks down one of the most talked-about courtroom moments of the year: the opening statements in the high-stakes murder-for-hire trial of Donna Adelson. From the prosecution's meticulously crafted narrative to the defense's chaotic stumble out of the gate, this episode captures the full shockwave of a trial Florida—and the nation—can't stop watching. Prosecutors came out swinging, painting Donna not as a grieving grandmother swept into family conflict, but as the driving force behind the plot to kill Florida State law professor Dan Markel. They laid out motive, money, resentment, and years of escalating family turmoil. Emails revealed Donna's relentless pressure to relocate her daughter Wendi and the grandchildren to South Florida—pressure she once described as something she would “never, never, never give up” on. When persuasion failed, the State argues, she turned to a six-figure murder contract. The prosecution previewed phone records, financial trails, incriminating communications, and Donna's attempted one-way trip to Vietnam—presented not as coincidence, but as a calculated escape once the walls began to close in. Then came the defense. Their opening statement—highly anticipated after the State's precision—landed with a thud. Instead of offering a coherent counter-narrative, the defense drifted, circled, and repeated the same hollow refrain: “There is no evidence.” Attorney Jackie Fulford attempted to cast Donna as an innocent grandmother caught in her son Charlie's orbit, but the argument lacked structure, clarity, and force. Jurors appeared disengaged. Moments meant to reassure instead highlighted inconsistencies the prosecution is eager to exploit. This unified breakdown captures the full scope of a pivotal moment in the 2025 trial landscape: a prosecution ready for battle and a defense already fighting to regain footing. Is Donna Adelson the mastermind prosecutors claim—or is the defense simply outmatched from day one? #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #HiddenKillers #MurderTrial #CourtroomDrama #TrialCoverage #FloridaCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForDan Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    The State argues the district court correctly allowed evidence related to the murder of Charles Vallow and the attempted killing of Brandon Boudreaux, not to show criminal propensity, but to establish a pattern, plan, knowledge, and financial motive that closely mirrors the crimes involving JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, and Tammy Daybell. Prosecutors emphasize the defense had long-standing access to this evidence, defeating claims of unfair surprise or prejudice.The episode then breaks down Vallow's speedy trial argument using the Barker v. Wingo balancing test. While the length of delay slightly favors Vallow, the State explains that most of the delay was caused by the defense, including multiple competency proceedings and a change of venue. Vallow also failed to show any actual prejudice to her defense.Ultimately, the State asks the appellate court to affirm Lori Vallow Daybell's conviction, arguing that none of the claims raised on appeal warrant reversal. Appeals in Arizona are still expected, meaning the legal process is far from over.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

    “State of Flux” 30th-anniversary reflections A scouting expedition to an alien planet leads to a game-changing discovery. Surprisingly, it's not leola root. Nor is it mushrooms; though these are all pretty tasty finds. Even the Kazon can't lay claim to the title, despite turning out to have Starfleet technology aboard their ship. But we're getting warmer. How did the Kazon get their hands on the tech? It looks like the Voyager crew have a traitor in their midst. As Janeway, Chakotay, and Tuvok set out to solve the Case of the Cream of Mushroom, the trail leads them to a shocking revelation. In this episode of To The Journey, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Voyager, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “State of Flux,” Seska's big secret, how the story questions Starfleet ideals, and why establishing characters before plot twists matters.

    Top 10 Photo Books of 2025: Trends, Top Picks & How to Publish Your Own with Daniel Agee (Good Fight Press) From the “10 Frames Per Second” Podcast (Episode 171— Year‑End 2025) “If even one photographer avoids a parasitic publisher because of this episode, it's an hour well spent.” – Daniel Agee Table of Contents Why Photo Books Still Matter in 2025 The State of Photo Book Publishing in 2025 2025 Trends Shaping Photobooks Our Editor's Top 10 Photo Books of the Year (2025) DIY Publishing in 2025: From Blurb to Newspaper‑Club Zines Looking Forward: Diversity, Climate, & Community in 2025+ Take Action – Listen, Read, Create Why Photo Books Matter in 2025 The “10 Frames Per Second” podcast (hosts Joe Giordano and Molly Roberts) brings together photo‑journalists, publishers, and collectors for an annual photo‑book roundup. In the most recent episode they welcomed Daniel Agee—co‑founder of Good Fight—to discuss: The economic realities of publishing a photo book. Emerging themes that dominated the past year and are spilling into 2026. Practical advice for creators who want to self‑publish. If you're looking for fresh titles, insider industry insights, or a step‑by‑step guide to making your own book, keep reading. The State of Photo Book Publishing in 2025 Issue What the Hosts Said (2024) Why It Still Matters for SEO in 2025 High Up‑Front Costs Publishers often charge $8k–$20k (or even $50k) to print a book, leaving many photographers in debt. Target keywords: photo book publishing cost 2025, how much does a photo book cost today? Parasitic vs. Quality Publishers “Parasitic, exploitive” publishers vs. “quality” houses that break even or make modest profit. Optimize for ethical photo book publishers, fair photo book publishing 2025. Self‑Serving Model Some creators profit from selling workshops, museum sales, and speaking gigs, not the book itself. Rank for how to make money with a photo book in 2025. Small Community Size Only 15–25k people worldwide actively buy photo books; reputation spreads fast. Use phrases like photo book community 2025, photo book collectors today. Transparency Is Key Sharing experiences (e.g., “don't pay $25k”) helps protect photographers. Long‑tail keyword: photo book publishing advice for beginners 2025. Takeaway: Know the economics before you sign a contract. Understanding the market helps you negotiate better and choose the right publishing path. 2025 Trends Shaping Photo books 1. Color Dominates the Scene Daniel called himself a “color baby” and highlighted Emily Shur's Sunshine Terrace (color) versus Ian Bates' Weight of Ash (B&W). In 2025, color‑driven storytelling is the norm, with vibrant palettes used to convey mood, climate, and cultural identity. 2. Intimate Family Narratives Continue to Thrive Titles such as Lisa Sogini's In Passing and Elijah Howe's Mike show a growing appetite for personal archives, grief, and memory—a trend that's still expanding in 2025. 3. Climate‑Change Documentation Becomes Urgent Weight of Ash (Ian Bates) and newer titles like “Rising Tides” (upcoming release) prove that eco‑focused photo books are both critically acclaimed and search‑engine friendly. 4. Nostalgia & Re‑imagined Memory Works such as Henry Head's fabricated‑memory series and retro‑styled zines echo a desire for “comforting past” aesthetics. 2025 sees an increase in “memory‑reconstruction” projects that blend staged and documentary photography. 5. DIY & Zine Explosion Small presses (e.g., Pomegranate Press, Charcoal Club) now publish 30+ titles a year. Zines like “Protest City”remain hot because they're cheap, fast, and socially relevant. 6. Diversity Gap Still Visible The hosts noted a 1% presence of women of color on mainstream shelves. In 2025, activist collectives and grant programs are emerging to address this imbalance, creating new opportunities for under‑represented voices. Editor's Top 10 Photo‑Books (2025) While the podcast aired at the end of 2024, the books listed continued to dominate conversations, sales, and awards throughout 2025. # Title & Author Publisher Why It Stands Out (2025 relevance) 1 A Surrender – Markus Naarttijärvi Good Fight IPA Photo Book of the Year; continues to win 2025 exhibition spots. 2 North North South – Ada Gragossian Gost Quiet portraits that bridge B&W (2024) and color (2025) trends. 3 Sunshine Terrace – Emily Shur Deadbeat Vibrant LA suburbia; frequently cited in 2025 “best color photo books.” 4 Weight of Ash – Ian Bates Deadbeat Black‑white documentation of post‑fire West Coast; a reference point for climate‑focused work in 2025. 5 In Passing – Lisa Sorgini LibraryMan (Sweden) Personal grief turned universal; heavily featured in 2025 mental‑health art talks. 6 Mike – Elijah Howe TIS Books Multi‑generational family archive; lauded for its hybrid of historic and contemporary images. 7 American Surfaces – Stephen Shore (original printing) Self‑published Classic modernist, revived interest in 2025 “retro design” movement. 8 Dark Knees – Mark Cohen Self‑published Endless photo flow; used as a case study in 2025 DIY publishing workshops. 9 Rising Tides – Maya Patel Deadbeat First major photo book of 2026 to directly address ocean‑level rise; already generating buzz. 10 Protest City (zine) – Rian Dundon (Episode 87) Independent Timely, affordable; remains a go‑to resource for activist photographers in 2025. Each title links to its publisher or a purchase page (when available) to improve link‑building and user experience. DIY Photo Book Publishing in 2025: From Blurb to Newspaper Club Zines If you're ready to skip the parasitic publisher, here's a 2025‑ready roadmap. 1. Choose Your Platform Platform Ideal For 2025 Price (approx.) Blurb Full‑color photobooks, photo‑calendars $30–$130 per copy Smartpress High‑quality softcover & hardcover $55–$165 per copy Newspaper Club Fast, cheap zines (10‑inch, 20‑page) $1.80 per copy (bulk) Lulu Global POD distribution, ISBN services $22–$115 per copy 2. Keep Production Simple Page count: 20–80 pages works best for self‑publish. Paper: 120‑140 gsm matte for a professional feel without breaking the bank. Bleed: Add 0.125″ (3 mm) bleed to avoid white edges. 3. Photo Book Design Tips for 2026 Use responsive grid systems (12‑column) to ensure visual balance on both print and digital previews. Choose one primary typeface (e.g., GT America) and one accent font for captions. Add an ISBN if you plan to sell through retailers—most POD platforms provide this for a small fee. 4. Printing & Shipping Order a proof copy first; catch color or layout errors. Print in bulk (≥30 copies) to lower per‑unit cost. Ship to local bookstores, photo‑spaces (e.g., Baltimore Photo Space), or directly to collectors. Looking Forward: Diversity, Climate, & Community in 2025+ • More Voices Needed The hosts repeatedly called for photographers of color and women to be featured. In 2025, grant programs (e.g., The Imprint Good Fight Fellowship) and inclusive small presses are actively seeking submissions. • Climate‑Centric Stories Books that document environmental change (e.g., Weight of Ash, Rising Tides) are search‑friendly and align with a growing public interest in sustainability. • Local Photo Spaces as Hubs Places like Baltimore Photo Space act as collaboration labs—they host workshops, zine swaps, and free coffee nights that foster community. • Instagram Still a Gatekeeper Publishers continue to scrutinize follower counts. Building a genuine community and engaging consistently can open doors without paying a publisher upfront.

    Points of Interest00:00 – 01:38 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes agency legal specialist Sharon Toerek, highlighting her long track record in the industry and setting the stage with a discussion about how quickly the agency world is changing.01:38 – 02:45 – Framing the AI Legal Conversation for Agencies: They position the core topic of the episode as the legal implications of AI adoption inside agencies, especially when serving enterprise clients with sensitive data and heightened risk concerns.02:45 – 05:03 – The Two Biggest AI Risk Buckets: IP and Data Privacy: Sharon identifies intellectual property and data privacy as the top two legal risk areas agencies must consider when using generative AI in strategy, creation, and data manipulation.05:03 – 08:11 – IP Infringement, Ownership, and Contract Clarity: She explains how generative AI can inadvertently infringe on others' IP, complicate ownership of deliverables, and increase the need for explicit AI usage and ownership language in MSAs and SOWs.08:11 – 10:23 – Agency-Created IP and Contractor Use of AI: Sharon explores the risks of building agency-owned IP with AI when ownership is uncertain, and stresses the importance of knowing how contractors use AI so their work aligns with promises made to clients.10:23 – 15:11 – The State of Case Law and Fair Use Signals: They discuss how little case law exists around AI, what early decisions suggest about training data and fair use, and why we still do not know how much human contribution is needed to secure protectable IP.15:11 – 18:26 – Blurring Lines Between Human and Machine-Created Work: Marcel and Sharon reflect on how modern creative tools embed AI in everyday workflows, making it harder to distinguish human-made from machine-generated content for legal and practical purposes.18:26 – 22:40 – A Practical Playbook for Reducing AI Legal Risk: Sharon outlines concrete steps agencies can take now: have AI conversations with clients, update contracts, understand tool terms, set internal and external AI policies, and right-size risk based on audience scale.22:40 – 26:05 – Where Insurance Fits in the AI Risk Equation: They examine how general liability, E&O, and cyber policies currently treat AI-related issues, and why insurers are likely to carve out or slowly add AI-specific coverage as risks and profits emerge.26:05 – 30:31 – Market Volatility, AI Shock, and Rising Agency M&A: Sharon connects AI disruption, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical tension to a surge in small and mid-size agency deals, noting many founders are simply tired of reinventing their businesses again.30:31 – 35:40 – IP as a Lever in Exits and Next Career Moves: She makes the case that agencies who develop and package their own IP create more options in M&A, whether selling IP separately, splitting the business, or using it to launch the next chapter of their careers.Show NotesInnovative Agency PodcastWebsite: legalandcreative.comLinkedIn - Sharon ToerekM&A Webinar Replay with SharonLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

    In this episode, we continue breaking down the State of Idaho's response to Lori Vallow Daybell's appeal, picking up deep into the brief as the State dismantles claims of constitutional violations.The State argues that Lori Vallow failed all three prongs of the fundamental error test — including claims that her Sixth Amendment right to counsel was violated and that her due process rights were ignored while she was deemed incompetent.We walk through why the court says Mark Means had the opportunity to respond but chose not to, why this was not a structural error, and why any alleged error would be considered harmless under existing case law.The episode also dives into the key issue of competency, explaining why hearings held in Chad Daybell's separate criminal case did not violate Lori Vallow's rights — including her right not to be prosecuted while incompetent or her right to be physically present.This section of the appeal gives rare insight into what was happening behind the scenes while much of the case was under seal — and why the State is confident none of these arguments will impact her Idaho conviction.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!
