From being flown to London aged 17 to play for industry titans to knocking out two albums in a year, as well as a techno side project and being in SWEETS, we rattle through great tales of the Limerick music scene.

Struggling with sugar cravings, emotional eating, or feeling stuck in your weight loss journey? What you'll learn: Why your brain gets stuck in unhealthy habits (and how to rewire it) How to manage cravings without willpower or restriction The key to staying consistent without feeling overwhelmed It's time to shift your mindset and finally lose weight in a sustainable way. Let's do this together! Mentioned in this episode:
There's more to summer than camps, trips, and schedules. While those things are all a part of summertime, the way you think and feel about summer matters just as much (if not more!). Today, I'm going beyond structure and calendars and talking about creating good summer vibes, so you can actually enjoy all those things you're planning. Then, we'll also get into creating a good summer plan and dealing with common obstacles that come up. You'll Learn:Why summer planning starts with your thoughtsA little trick to make your new thoughts feel more trueSummer routines and limits to decide in advanceThe inevitable challenges of summer (it's not just you!)How to avoid summer burnout as a momThe goal is that when you send your kids off to school in the fall, you can look back on this summer and think, "That was fun." Let's make it happen!---------------------------------------Whether you already have the entire summer planned out or you're winging it and hoping for the best, these tips will help you to feel comfortable and confident heading into the summer break.I like to think of summer preparation in 3 different parts:Your summer mindsetYour summer planYour summer confidenceWhen you put these 3 pieces together, you end up with a summer that feels good for you, with a healthy combination of routine and freedom. Your Summer MindsetWhen I talk about mindset, the basic idea is that your feelings come from thoughts that you have. So by choosing the thoughts you want to focus on, you can feel the way you want. The way you think about summer and lots of open-ended time with your kids determines how you feel. If you go into the summer thinking, "This is going to be hard," or, "I don't like spending this much time with my kids," it is going to feel a lot harder. Summer is a long haul. It means a LOT of time with your kids, especially if you don't have childcare. Your kid is going to misbehave and have big feelings and complain and be too hot and overtired. You are going to feel tired. There are going to be hard days. Lots of parents get to the end feeling burned out, overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, and resentful. But you can also get to the end of summer feeling joyful, present, and with some really great memories. The first thing I want you to do is think about how you want to remember this summer. How do you want to feel about it? What thoughts do you want to have about it? How do you want to feel about yourself and your kids? What do you want the tone of your summer to be?Some examples of things you might want to chase are:JoyFunGratitudeDelightConnectionEaseChallengeOnce you're clear on what feelings you want to chase, you can set an intention to guide you.Let's say that you decide you're all about chasing fun this summer. Write down a few thoughts that you want to have about your summer, your kids, and yourself. These thoughts might feel like a bit of a stretch. It's a bit of a mix between making them believable and "fake it til you make it".Here are a few more examples to get you started:I like playing with my kids.I love watching my kids learn new things.I love watching my kids smile and listening to them laugh.I want to remember this summer with _________ (insert your desired feeling).The more joy in my thoughts, the more joy in my actions. I get to choose how I think and feel.Summer goes by quickly, and I want to enjoy it.I am enjoying my time as a mom.Peace is better than perfection. Some days are hard, and that's okay.This is temporary. It's gonna be alright.Another one of my favorite thoughts for summer is, "We don't have to". Parents often think they have to have extravagant, over the top events for their children in order for them to be happy or enjoy the summer. And that's just not true. You can make good memories in the simplest of moments. Playing a game, lounging around, eating popsicles, going to the park, looking at the clouds. Just being present in those kinds of moments is enough. Memories are created in the feelings, not the things.What your kid really wants from you is your presence. They want you to be with them, look them in the eye, and move at their pace. Summer PlanA common mistake parents make in the summer is letting things be too much of a free-for-all. I believe that kids do need a break from the demands and strict schedule of school, tutoring, sports, appointments, etc. And I want you to have a balanced structure to your day. Having more flow and flexibility during the summer is helpful for kids' nervous systems because their nervous system is naturally slower than ours. But I also like to think of limits and routines as the metronome beat underneath your family. It's a consistent rhythm. So how do you know when to let things flow and when to bring in some structure? The areas I'll talk you through today are screens, sweets, sleep, and chores.Screen time. Ask yourself, "How do I want screens to go this summer?" Think about your screen routine during the school year. Will you keep it the same? Will you make changes?I know you probably want me to tell you want to do here, but I'm not going to. It really depends on what you have going on, how busy your family is, how overwhelmed you are as a mom, etc. I do think it is generally a good idea to avoid screens first thing in the morning. Give them a chance to get up, have breakfast, and get their bodies moving. You can set whatever limits you want here. For example, "You can watch TV for an hour as long as you have gotten dressed, had breakfast, and brushed your teeth."If your kids are going to camp, I'd avoid screens altogether in the morning. It's not worth the meltdown when you're trying to get them to turn it off and get out the door.Sweets. How much, how often, and when will your kids get sweet treats? Will you allow one sweet treat per day? Only when you are out? Only on weekends?Sleep. With the sun going down later, it's fine to make bedtime 30-40 minutes later. But once you decide on the new bedtime, be as consistent as you can. Of course there are nights when you're having a barbecue or you're watching 4th of July fireworks, and your kid ends up staying up late. It's not that big of a deal. The next day might be a little rough, but you can handle it. What gets really hard for kids is when they're up late multiple nights in a row. Their bodies get used to a rhythm, and it's important to stick to that as much as you can. Chores. The easiest way to get kids to do what you want them to do is to connect chores with another event. For example, "We'll leave for the beach once the trash cans are brought in," or, "We'll go to the pool today as long as everyone puts their laundry away by 11 a.m."Here's the thing with limits. You can decide in the moment or change your rules every day if you want, but it will be confusing for your kids and you'll likely have more big feelings because they don't know what to expect. If you do set limits and create a structure around these things, be prepared to follow through on them consistently.As you figure out your summer limits and structure, think about your ideal day. When you know how you want things to go, it's easier to decide what you want those rhythms and limits to be. Summer ConfidenceBefore we get into this one, I want you to know that a few things are inevitable during the summer:If you have more than one child, they are going to fight.Your kids will get bored. This is actually a good thing. You will feel burned out. Summer is a heavy lift for moms. People will have grumpy moods. Your kid will get grumpy, and you will get grumpy. It's okay to pivot if people aren't up for whatever you have planned. Trust your intuition. Repeat after me. "I am not my child's camp counselor." It is not your job to make your kids happy or to make them have fun. Boredom is uncomfortable for them, but it's their job to figure it out. Play is their work. In order to avoid burnout as much as possible (and get through it when it hits), you'll need to be proactive about managing your energy. Move your body daily. Connect with other adults. Do something that delights you. Allow your thoughts and feelings, and work on your mindset. Rest when you're tired. Even with screen time limits, you have permission at any time to put on a movie for your kids and take a break.

Effective Fitness for Women: Fat Loss & Muscle Gain for Fitness Beginners
When we restrict sweets and label them as "bad," we're not solving anything — we're just building pressure. And eventually that pressure valve blows. If you've ever white-knuckled it all week and then completely lost it with a bag of something on Friday night, you know exactly what I mean. In this episode I'm breaking down why restriction backfires, why "just eat intuitively" isn't the answer either, and what it actually looks like to build real self control around sweets — with guardrails, not willpower. -Rachel Next Steps

From Singing for Sweets to Punk PioneerHugh Cornwell, best known as the original frontman of The Stranglers, has lived a career shaped by instinct, rebellion and creative evolution. Remarkably, his journey began at just three years old, singing in the garden for neighbours who rewarded him with sweets. Even then, Cornwell knew he wanted to be a singer—though his parents had very different plans.Despite his artistic ambitions, Cornwell followed a scientific path, studying biochemistry at university under pressure from his family. He even pursued a PhD in Sweden, but it was there that fate intervened. Immersed in a new social scene, he formed a band—and before long, music overtook academia. Abandoning his studies, he returned to the UK determined to make it in music.Back in England, Cornwell helped form what would become The Stranglers, alongside key members including Jean-Jacques Burnel and Dave Greenfield. Early songwriting success came with “Get a Grip on Yourself,” their debut single, marking the beginning of a formidable catalogue. Cornwell's melodic instincts, combined with the band's raw energy, helped define their sound.The band emerged during a turbulent period in mid-'70s Britain—a time of economic hardship, strikes and social unrest. This environment fed directly into their music, sharpening their sound into something tougher and more confrontational. While often labelled as punk, Cornwell saw the band more simply—as songwriters focused on melody and strong hooks, even amid the chaos.The Stranglers quickly rose to prominence with hits like “Peaches” and “No More Heroes,” blending aggression with sophistication. Cornwell even reflects on “Peaches” as an early form of rap due to its spoken delivery. Their later hit “Golden Brown” revealed a more melodic, experimental side—its meaning famously debated before Cornwell acknowledged its dual inspiration.During breaks from relentless touring, Cornwell began exploring solo projects, often driven by spontaneity. His first solo recordings were made in Los Angeles without even informing his record label—an early sign of his independent spirit. Over time, he built a substantial solo catalogue, collaborating with figures like Tony Visconti and continuing to refine his craft.By 1990, after 16 years with the band, Cornwell made the bold decision to leave. The band dynamic had shifted, becoming more like a job than a shared creative journey. Acting on instinct—something that defines much of his life—he walked away, choosing artistic freedom over familiarity.Cornwell has never stood still. From embracing new music distribution models, including free downloads, to experimenting with songwriting processes, he has continually evolved. His later work, including the album Moments of Madness, reflects a more spontaneous and exploratory approach to recording.Outside of music, Cornwell is an author, actor and podcast host, with a deep passion for film. He also maintains a disciplined lifestyle rooted in his scientific background, prioritising health and routine—or as he prefers to call it, “rhythm.”Today, Hugh Cornwell continues to tour and record, performing both solo material and classic Stranglers songs. His story is one of constant reinvention, guided less by planning and more by instinct—a philosophy that has kept him relevant and creatively alive for decades.

Bananaquits are tiny songbirds with a sweet tooth. Their distinctive curved bills are perfect for sipping nectar from woodland flowers and urban hummingbird feeders. These songsters are widespread in Latin America from southern Mexico to northern Uruguay — and much of the Caribbean. Their plumage colors vary by region, but Bananaquits typically have dark backs, white eyebrows and yellow bellies. Their songs are variable, too. Bananaquits have developed hundreds of local dialects! This episode is brought to you by Wild Delight Bird Food, offering a variety of blends designed to mimic the natural resources wild birds crave.

I've been following an Arkansas Pastry Chef who had a big week last week at a big competition! The Black Howler Beer Company Beer Chili Cookoff is this Saturday! Luke Wetzel and Mollie Mullis have been business partners for about a decade now, and the story of how they met is hilarious. It started with a job interview and a phone call – also, persistence paid off. When Luke decided that he wanted to open Oven and Tap, there was never a question about who would be a part of it with him. They both talk about the lessons learned when opening their first place. I've always wondered this about ice cream shops –how do they pick out their ice cream flavors for Superfine Sweets Shop? Finally, what led to Townie Burgers and what's next? We hear from Luke Wetzel and Mollie Mullis next, on this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas. Please like and subscribe! Available on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts!
In his ruling dated April 27, 2017, Judge Sweet denied Maxwell's motion for summary judgment, concluding that the case could not be dismissed before trial because there were triable issues of material fact—meaning that reasonable jurors could differ on key factual elements required to resolve the defamation claims. Additionally, he held that the pre‑litigation privilege Maxwell invoked (a legal shield often applied to internal or preliminary communications before a lawsuit is filed) did not apply to bar the claim. Consequently, the motion could not succeed as a matter of law. Judge Sweet also directed the parties to submit a proposed redacted version of the opinion consistent with the protective order or to notify the court if no redactions were necessary, emphasizing the sensitive nature of the materials involvedThis decision ensured that Maxwell's defamation case would proceed, allowing for full adjudication of disputable facts rather than prematurely ending the litigation. Moreover, although the summary judgment denial was itself sealed under protective orders—primarily due to concerns about privacy and confidentiality—the Second Circuit later determined that such judicial records should generally be accessible to the public, underscoring the importance of transparency in decisions impacting public interest; the appellate court directed review and unsealing of summary judgment materials following a careful balance of privacy interests.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein-Docs.pdf (documentcloud.org)

Marigold Sweets joins First Smoke of the Day to break down everything you've ever wanted to know about edibles. From her time on Bong Appétit to becoming a leading voice in cannabis cooking, Vanessa dives deep into infusion techniques, dosing, decarboxylation, temperature control, concentrates vs flower, and how to make edibles that actually taste good. We talk about the science behind infusing butter, oils, tinctures, and concentrates, common edible mistakes, how long infusion really takes, and why most people are doing it wrong. This episode covers cannabis cooking for beginners and experienced consumers alike, including how to calculate potency, avoid overconsumption, improve bioavailability, and cook with intention. Whether you're into infused savory dishes, desserts, nano-emulsions, or just want to understand how edibles work in the body, this conversation is packed with real knowledge backed by testing and experience. We also get into the cannabis industry, legalization, labor conversations, and the future of infused dining. Tap in for one of the most informative edible discussions we've had on FSOTD. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Most people don't get into trouble with desserts because of sugar. They get into trouble because of context. In this episode, Nate breaks down how he eats sweets, baked goods, and desserts without wrecking his energy, digestion, or body composition. This isn't rigid nutrition science or a fat loss "hack." It's a practical framework he follows about 70 percent of the time that works extremely well in the real world. You'll learn why eating dessert in isolation is the biggest mistake people make, how insulin really works as a nutrient traffic signal, and why pairing carbs with protein leads to very different outcomes than pairing carbs with fat. Using the green lights metaphor, Nate explains how carbs raise insulin, why insulin doesn't choose what gets stored, and how controlling what's already circulating in your body changes where those calories end up. The episode also covers the best times to eat dessert, including post workout and pre workout scenarios, plus what to do in worst case situations when dessert is happening no matter what. Nate outlines simple pairing strategies that reduce damage, improve recovery, and keep food from turning into a stressor. This episode is for anyone who wants to enjoy sweets without guilt, stop fearing carbs, and start eating like their body is a system instead of a morality test. Key topics covered: Why dessert itself isn't the problem The green lights metaphor for insulin and nutrient storage Why carbs plus fat is the worst pairing Why carbs plus protein works better Best and worst times to eat sweets The 70 percent rule for sustainable eating Carbs don't decide what gets stored. They decide how fast things move.
