Podcast appearances and mentions of tim padgett

The South Florida Roundup's Tim Padgett co-hosts the 90-minute call-in special “Haiti on the Line,” a collaboration between WLRN, WNYC (New York City) and GBH News (Boston) which aired live on Feb. 24, 2025. Last year more than 5,000 people in Haiti were killed in gang-related violence. The country has been in a political crisis for years. And for Haitians in America with feet in two worlds, reality in both countries is unstable. To better understand the story, public radio stations in the three cities with the largest Haitian populations in America teamed up to open the phones and hear from Haitian listeners in these communities. The hosts were joined by special guests and experts on Haiti.

Tim Padgett, WLRN Americas Editor covering Latin America, the Caribbean and their key relationship with South Florida, and Saraya Wintersmith, reporter covering Boston City Hall for GBH News and is the host of the “What Is Owed?” podcast, preview WNYC's evening public radio station special "Haiti On The Line," which examines the history of the country and the current news that the Trump administration recently ended deportation protection for 500,000 Haitians in the United States.→  HAITI ON THE LINE: A live call-in radio special about the crisis in Haiti. Listen live at WNYC.org or at 93.9 FM/AM 820 tonight, Monday, Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. 

On today's program, a bizarre story out of Haiti. Haitian gangs are using churches to smuggle arms into the country.  We'll explain how that scheme works. And a church in Alabama has to pay back nearly a half-million dollars given to it a decade ago because the man who gave the gift has now declared bankruptcy. And this church is not alone. We'll have details. Later in the program, we look at the popular bible app YouVersion. It's released its annual list of the most searched Bible verses of the year. We begin today with news that an engineer for one of the nation's largest Christian broadcasters has been sued over misappropriation of funds.The Association of Professional Radio Engineers (APRE) has filed a suit against Shane Toven, a senior broadcast engineer employed by Educational Media Foundation. Educational Media Foundation is the parent company of the K-Love radio network. FINAL THOUGHTS As I have said before, we are in the most critical time of the year for Christian ministries, including MinistryWatch, when it comes to fundraising. We need to raise about a quarter of our budget, about $117 thousand, in the months of November and December. We just passed the $78,000 mark, so we are about 2/3 of the way there. Which is great.  But we have less than 10 days to go. If you've already given, THANK YOU.  If you have not, I hope you will prayerfully consider a gift to MinistryWatch before year-end. And, of course, MinistryWatch is not alone. Some ministries raise 30 or 40 percent of their budgets during the last two months of the year. If you'd like to help us reach our year-end goal, just go to MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate button at the top of the page. But whether you give to us or not, we hope you will use our database to help you make giving decisions. And that you will give wisely and generously during this season. The producers for today's program are Rich Roszel and Jeff McIntosh.  We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Daniel Ritchie, Steve Rabey, Tim Padgett, Kathryn Post, Bob Smietana, and Christina Darnell. A special thanks to WLRN for contributing material for this week's podcast. .Until next time, may God bless you.

This week on the South Florida Roundup, WLRN's Tim Padgett led a discussion about the latest happenings in Miami's government, examined why a Miami-Dade public school removed books from the shelves for elementary students (18:40) and whether Russia's footprint is about to get bigger in Cuba (34:54).

Next month, the Colson Center is offering a short course entitled “The Essential Church: Why Christians (and the World) Still Need the Church.”   It's a timely message, especially given a recent shift in Church demographics. Christianity Today reported that younger women are, for the first time, less likely to go to church than men...  not because more men are now attending church, but because more women are deconstructing their faith, and more likely to identify as “nones.”  Battered by church controversies and scandals, and shaped by cultural messages, women are increasingly heading for the exit. In doing so, they are rejecting a faith that, in the words of my colleague Glenn Sunshine, has done “more to improve the status of women than any other historical force.” The Church is meant to enable and empower men and women to live as image bearers, according to God's design.   Simply put, the Church is essential, and that's the topic of our upcoming short course, hosted by Dr. Tim Padgett and featuring Peter Leithart, Collin Hansen, and Glenn Sunshine. Christians need to know why. Go to colsoncenter.org/August to learn more.

Since taking office, President Trump has worked to gain more Latino support in Florida by casting his rival Democrats as socialists – like the regimes in Cuba and Venezuela. Last week, WLRN talked to the Democratic SuperPAC Priorities U.S.A. about the Trump's strategy. They claim it’s the President who resembles Latin American dictators. This week WLRN speaks with Kelly Sadler, a spokesperson for America First Action, a Republican SuperPAC that strongly supports Trump. (Sadler was a communications aide to President Trump but left the White House amid a controversy over remarks she reportedly made about the late Senator John McCain.) Sadler spoke to WLRN’s Tim Padgett and Alejandra Martinez from Washington about the President – and how the GOP plans to attract more Hispanic voters.

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó rallied Venezuelan expats on Saturday at the Miami Airport Convention Center, an event that marked the end of a two-week world tour that included Europe and Canada. The aim was to rekindle international support for his campaign to oust authoritarian Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, which started a year ago. WLRN’s Tim Padgett was with Guaidó on Saturday. Padgett spoke with WLRN’s Luis Hernandez about whether Guaidó’s movement still has a future – and why he didn't get to meet President Trump.

Miami is often called the capital of Latin America. So when 20 Democratic presidential candidates gathered for debates in Miami last week, WLRN's Americas editor Tim Padgett thought he'd hear more about Latin America policy. But as Padgett told WLRN's Luis Hernandez, he and a lot of other South Floridians were disappointed.

El gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador tiene menos de un mes y medio para demostrarle al presidente Donald Trump que sí funciona la estrategia pactada para frenar la masiva migración de centroamericanos hacia Estados Unidos. México aceptará el regreso de migrantes que pidan asilo en EE.UU. mientras se procesan sus casos. El profesor Alejandro Alvarado, de la Universidad Internacional de Florida; el editor de la radio WLRN, Tim Padgett; y el periodista Max Aub analizan este tema.

On "This Week in South Florida," host Michael Putney and Glenna Milberg sit down with Miami Herald Editorial Page Editor Nancy Ancrum, WLRN Americas correspondent Tim Padgett and Republican strategist Ed Pozzuoli to discuss the week's top news stories.

Creating a culture where people feel safe and free to be vulnerable is by far one of the most challenging tasks any leader of a company can perform. Given that, it can also be very fulfilling. Truly that it is a leader’s responsibility to create a home for its employees where they can be themselves, free to make mistakes, start all over and do better. All these can take into place when there is a solid culture anyone can turn to for guidance and direction. Not everyone is perfect, I think nobody is. But anyone can try, give it their best shot, and try again. We will come to realize just how relevant having a good set of culture can make or break a company. Today, our guest, Tim Padgett, will introduce to us the two faces of culture: the bad and the good. In this episode, we will have a clearer picture of how a bad culture looks like and what damage it can do not only to the morale of its employees but also its impact on the business as a whole. Tim Padgett is the CEO of The Pepper Group company who, having been inspired by the bad experience he had from a company that’s founded on bad culture, established his own company and ensured that the core values governing his company reflects none of the cultures he and his colleagues had to embody from their previous company. Let’s all set into the journey of realization that the core of culture is just the regular things we do every day and know that through education, we can deal with win won negotiations and utilize our mistakes as a strong foundation for success.   “It doesn’t matter what we teach. All knowledge can be a leverage later.” -Tim Padgett   In this episode, you will learn: 1:45 – Introduction to The Pepper Group company 3:45 – Personal definition and perspective about culture 5:55 – A program called "Kick Ass" 10:40 – The process of creating the core values of The Pepper Group 12:15 – Frameworks of the company’s culture 26:00 – A powerful recruiting message 32:00 – The dynamics that make people move 34:45 – Philosophy Tim got from other companies 35:28 – 2 main job responsibilities in the company 40:18 – Examples of a bad culture experienced: culture of family, culture of pride 46:05 – How to build a culture of joy   Resources: PepperGroup.com CultureCzars.com   Connect with Tim: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Website   Connect with Will: LinkedIn Website

Travis Cook, the Q resident Tea Party expert and extremist, joins the show to discuss the State of the Union. Ofcourse, Travis can't hold back and once again this leads to an egregious claim and extreme viewpoint shared by almost no one.
