We return to May 1769 where the quadrant, a vital piece of equipment for observing the Transit of Venus, was stolen and then recovered.

Visual Intonation Podcast steps into the world of Raj Debah, a New York-born artist whose work tells stories others have left untold. Raised in the Bronx by first-generation West Indian parents, Raj uses the lens of mixed media to illuminate the silenced voices of indentured and indigenous peoples connected to the Caribbean. His images speak in layers—photos, found footage, artifacts—woven into a visual language that bridges memory, migration, and resistance.Debah's journey is not just artistic, it's personal. His work reflects a lifelong reckoning with identity, rooted in the tension between belonging and erasure. Through collage and video, he explores the quiet corners of human isolation and the shifting contours of cultural evolution. These are the stories of movement, of lives in between, of history rarely archived but deeply felt.Across decades of practice, Raj has shaped imagery for icons like Lee Fields and Pharaoh Sanders, and has collaborated with global brands such as Converse, The James Hotel Group, and Timberland. His visual voice has echoed through projects with Nike, Supreme, The North Face, and more. Whether in a gallery at Frieze LA or on the walls of Miami Basel, his work pulses with urgency and intent.Now based in Los Angeles, Raj continues to explore new creative territories alongside longtime collaborator Jarvis. Together, they've built a body of work that challenges censorship, confronts bigotry, and keeps truth alive through image and sound. Visual Intonation Podcast invites you into that space—a place where past meets present, and every frame tells a story worth hearing.Raj Debah's Website: rajdebah.comRaj Debah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rajdebah/?hl=enSupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Summer will soon be wrapping up, but the heat of summer will be around for a few more weeks yet, at least. Too much of that heat can destroy food and other products while they are in transit. How can we protect temperature-controlled cargo? We have some tips. As we approach peak season, a new survey shows that the supply chain sector is actually feeling more confident in their fulfillment systems for 2025 than they were in 2024. The research shows that 84% expressed confidence in their fulfillment systems for 2025, compared to the 70% of executives who entered peak season confident last year.Conditions in the truckload freight market have remained stable this year but coming peak-season shipping activity is likely to test that stability. This is according to some recent data from freight brokerage RXO, which released its latest quarterly Curve report earlier this month. We share the results of that research and what it may mean for pricing and truckload capacity. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Philly's mass transit system has been upended. The first wave of SEPTA service cuts went into effect yesterday, but there will be more soon and fares will increase on September 1. While Harrisburg continues to be at odds over how to fund mass transit in the Commonwealth, the way hundreds of thousands of people travel in our city and region has been decimated. So how did things get so bad? Host Trenae Nuri talks with Alan Fisher, transit, urban planning, and railroad advocate and host of “The Armchair Urbanist,” about the relationship between SEPTA and the state.  We're doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners.

Henry Chalfant is an American photographer, videographer, and sculptor best known for his pioneering work chronicling New York City's graffiti and hip-hop culture.Beginning in 1977, Chalfant started photographing graffiti on the subway cars of New York City, capturing hundreds of ephemeral artworks by legendary writers such as Lee, Dondi, Skeme, Blade, Cap and Seen. His technique, shooting from one position while the train moved, allowed him to create single, highly detailed images constructed from multiple exposures, setting a standard for graffiti documentation worldwide. Over his career, he amassed an archive of more than 1,500 photographs that preserve a visual record of a fleeting urban art movement.  Chalfant co-authored Subway Art with Martha Cooper, a seminal book often referred to as the “Bible” of graffiti, and later co-authored Spraycan Art, which documented the global spread of the phenomenon.In 1983, Chalfant co-produced Style Wars with director Tony Silver, a groundbreaking PBS documentary that explored the battle over public space between the city's authorities and its graffiti writers, while also highlighting the parallel rise of breakdancing, MCing, and DJing. Style Wars became the first major film to capture hip-hop culture in its infancy, giving a global audience a look at the voices, rivalries, and creativity of New York youth.

Uranus, the planet of revolution and sudden change, enters Gemini on July 7, 2025, initiating a seven-year transit that promises to revolutionize communication, technology, and how we connect with each other.Drawing from historical patterns, Jill explores how previous Uranus-Gemini cycles coincided with monumental developments – from the birth of computers and the United Nations (1942-1949) to the telegraph and mass literacy movements (1858-1866). Now, as this powerful transit returns, we stand on the precipice of equally transformative breakthroughs. Artificial intelligence will likely make quantum leaps beyond what we currently imagine, transportation systems could see the emergence of flying cars and hypersonic planes, and educational frameworks might be completely reimagined.This episode dives deep into how this transit will affect each zodiac sign differently, offering personalized insights for navigating the coming changes. Air signs may thrive in this environment, while earth signs might struggle with the lack of stability. For everyone, developing strong intuition will be essential as we face information overload and potential revelations of long-hidden truths.What makes this particular Uranus transit especially potent are its aspects with other outer planets – forming harmonious connections with Pluto in Aquarius that could accelerate social reforms and potentially shift power from centralized authorities to collective networks. The combination of air and fire energy during this period creates a volatile but potentially brilliant cosmic cocktail that could spark unprecedented innovation and awakening.Listen now to prepare for the coming Uranian rollercoaster, and discover how you can not just survive but thrive during this period of revolutionary change.

We have now been doing this podcast for 5 years, and we thought... what better way to celebrate than to bring Andrew McMahon back to the podcast to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Everything in Transit?! Steve Jones from Concert Pipeline and I partnered on this interview with Andrew while he was out on our with Jack's Mannequin! This episode was recorded back in June while on the first leg of the tour prior to Red Rocks. This interview is available on both the Concert Pipeline podcast feed as well as this one. We asked Andrew about how he got into the headspace to return to the Jack's era, his thoughts on Red Rocks (before it happened), his fan community, what's next for him in the near future, and much more! You may be surprised at some of his answers... We are so grateful for this opportunity.

Nearly 300 Georgia inmates are suing Georgia corrections officials and the state's healthcare contractor for not providing gender-affirming care. Rose talks with Emily Early, the associate director of the Southern Regional Office of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Chinyere Ezie, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, which brought the lawsuit with co-counsel Bondurant Mixson & Elmore LLP. The guests discussed the pending case and what’s next. They also shared what they are hearing from clients who are denied gender-affirming care and why they believe SB 185, which prohibits state funds and resources from being used for certain treatments, is unconstitutional. Plus, earlier this week on “Closer Look,” Clyde Higgs, the president and CEO of the Atlanta Beltline Inc, assured listeners that multiple modes of transit are coming to the Beltline and talked more about a new estimated $3.5 billion plan that would expand public transit on the Beltline. The 22-mile project— which includes green space, parks and trails— is on track to be completed by 2030. On Friday, Rose talks with Matthew Rao, chair of Beltline Rail Now, and Dr. Hans Klein, president of Better Atlanta Transit, who hold opposing views about the types of transit that should be included.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS AUGUST 22 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking. As we approach the Virgo New Moon at 0'23” Virgo at 11:07 p.m. PT August 22 & 2:07 a.m. ET August 23, we're asked to plant seeds that allow us to take care ourselves, so we can remain healthy enough to then be of service to others. This is an especially important message now because, in addition to the Sun's entrance into Virgo & the Virgo New Moon today, we've got another one coming on September 21--which also happens to be a solar eclipse! And, in addition, the transiting nodal axis's Virgo South Node has been in play since January 2025 & will last until July 2026, asking us to let go of the Virgo archetype's less than desirable traits.  In short, we've got a whole lotta Virgo goin' on! This podcast takes a deep dive into all things Virgo-related, including its positives, negatives, & this archetypes' correlation with sacred geometry & numerology, & the mathematical belief that nature & the universe are all part of a perfectly divine order.  The Mercury-ruled Virgo archetype includes, among other things, understanding that we're not on this earth to strive for perfection because, well, if the universe is already perfectly designed & we are part of that perfect design, then we're ALREADY PERFECT!Thinking we need to constantly strive to reach a level of perfection denies this universal belief. And that means continually striving for perfection proves antithetical to our understanding of ourselves & the world around us. That's because the concept that there is such a thing as “perfection” only causes feelings of inadequacy which, in turn, produces feelings of shame & guilt since we'll inevitably believe we've always fallen short in the end.That this Virgo New Moon follows last month's Leo New Moon lunar cycle which asked us to recognize our special uniquely creative talents as an individual, we're asked now to recognize that as individuals we need to remain as healthy as possible. And that means physically (Virgo is an earth sign, after all), mentally (Virgo is ruled by Mercury), emotionally, & spiritually. Isn't it better to understand we are all different from each other & therefore each of us is perfect in his or her own way? And, once we've realized this, we can then make headway toward taking better care of ourselves now so that we have what it takes to take care of others when the time comes.This podcast discusses the importance of the Virgo archetype to us all right now. We look at the benefits of realizing that we're all part of the divine universal order & therefore perfect—even in all our imperfections. And how continuing to strive for perfection simply obscures & delays our knowledge that we are already there…So, we're reminded now that we cannot be imperfect beings if we are one with a universal energy that comprises the geometric perfection of nature & everything in it. Think: Golden ratio; the Fibonacci sequence, & the symbolic nature of numbers which form astrological divisions of the circle, & numerical aspects between planets, etc., & you'll begin to conceptualize the importance of the earthy Virgo archetype as a means to better understand not only the world around us but ourselves.The currently transiting Virgo SN, however, has been asking us since January of this year to let go of Virgo's shadow side archetypal energies, which include being overly critical, & the feelings of shame & guilt as a result of feeling inadequate when we fall short of being “perfect.” We're witnessing this shadow side obsession with perfection here in the U.S. right now as we watch anyone deemed “imperfect” being jailed, deported, or otherwise abused within the collective. Name calling & labeling (read: categorizing) for the purpose of weeding out imperfection is nothing more than a negative Virgoan trait that deprives those deemed as “others” to be considered less than human therefore not deserving of dignity or rights. Similarly, the focus on numbers right now highlights how statistical data can be used to manipulate—especially when such data is “faked” by those who want people to believe that “nothing is but what is not,” as Shakespeare wrote.TIME TO CHANGE OLD BELIEFS & RAISE OUR CONSCIOUSNESSThis Virgo New Moon is accompanied by a mutable square of both luminaries in Virgo to Uranus in Gemini, which the Sun perfects on August 24. We're likely to experience a sudden change of some kind then, perhaps including a sudden announcement from a prominent person, given that all planets involved are now transiting through a Mercury-ruled sign.Meanwhile, we explore the deeper meaning of the yod forming too from the Virgo Moon & Sun to both Saturn & Neptune in Aries & Pluto in Aquarius, as well as that of the sextiles between Saturn & Neptune to Pluto. The Saturn/Pluto sextile presents us all with the opportunity to “understand the forces that make you an individual,” according to astrologer Rob Hand in his book “Planets in Transit.” “You know exactly what you can demand of yourself, and you push yourself to the limit, but not beyond,” under this influence, he explains. “Consequently, this can be a time of great achievements.” Focused energy is recommended so that your “energy hits exactly the right target,” Hand advises. This applies both to internal & external work, he adds. Combined with the longer-term Neptune/Pluto sextile—which has been around off & on since 1950 & will be strong again from 2026 through 2032-- we're starting to see “larger forces for social change” happening around us that may ultimately “prove that beliefs and opinions you have held all your life are invalid,” agrees Rob Hand. Therefore, “this is an opportunity to clear away the deadwood in your brain & start over again,” he concludes. Since both NE & PL are known as collective planets, this bodes well for society in general, as does the UR/PL airy trineWhen Venus enters Sun-ruled Leo August 25, we've got a prouder louder orientation toward our partnerships, but also the potential to forget about those we don't feel are worthy of our love, respect, or attention. And when Venus then opposes Pluto in Aquarius August 26/27, depending on your time zone, the astrological recipe changes to one of potential emotional manipulation. Emotions intensify if/when we realize we're being forced to submit to the power of a group opposed to our individual freedoms. However, as Uranus waxes toward its exact sextile Neptune on August 28, we've the opportunity to rise above—or to use--this intensity to help open our minds to higher levels of consciousness. That's because between now and then we may begin to transform our ideals, aims, & objectives, according to Rob Hand. “As your consciousness evolves, you will begin to associate with others whose views are similar, so that you can reinforce & strengthen each other's insights,” he notes. The bottom line is that this particular sextile helps us rise above orthodox religion & other more mundane Saturnine-type belief systems & allows us to benefit from a more spiritual understanding of our world through metaphysics such as astrology. This is because more rigid analyses of the world will not suffice now. And this jibes as well with the yod formed at this Virgo New Moon whose outlet point is the 9th H (under expansive Jupiter's natural rulership) in Neptune-ruled Pisces, which includes the expansion of collective empathy.Tune in for all this & more Astro News You Can Use--There's a lot to unpack here, so be sure to have a listen! @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking starting today, August 22!See you later!
