In this episode a group of students and patrons join me to reflect on the recent Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, and to share stories of how it manifested in our lives based on which of the twelve houses it was transiting in their birth charts. The episode opens with a brief introduction where I talk about the importance of taking into account both the entire range of the sign-based conjunction or copresence between Venus and Jupiter, which lasted from May 18 until June 13, as well as the more intense range of the degree-based conjunction which went exact on June 9. After that I interview several people about their experience of the conjunction, looking at how it functioned in various houses alongside examples of notable public figures who also experienced this transit. This is episode 539 of The Astrology Podcast.

Der Transit von Lilith (Der Tabubrecherin & weiblichen Rebellin) im Schützen und in Tor 26 und was das für dich konkret bedeutet. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, was passiert, wenn Lilith in deinem Chart das ans Licht bringt, was du bisher als zu viel, zu wild, zu unangepasst versteckt hast. Und warum gerade jetzt der Moment ist, das Ego loszulassen – nicht weil du aufgibst, sondern weil du endlich dem Fluss vertraust. Was dich erwartet: ✦ Was Lilith kollektiv gerade aufwühlt - Seit Dezember 2025 ist sie im Schützen. Freiheit, Rebellion, Befreiung aus Dogmen. Was das für dich konkret bedeutet. ✦ Tor 26 und die Regel, die alles verändert "Easy is right" ✦ Ego vs. Fluss - Woran hältst du gerade aus falschem Stolz fest? ✦ Wie Lilith mich dazu gebracht hat meine Preise zu senken Ein ehrlicher Einblick hinter meine Kulissen und was passiert, wenn man der eigenen Wahrheit folgt – auch wenn es dem Ego erstmal wehtut.

In Metro Detroit, it's not enough to talk about transit plans. There are tons of ideas out there. It's about action. I sat down with SMART General Manager and CEO Tiffany J. Gunter to dig into what it really takes to run a 2,000‑square‑mile suburban transit system that people can rely on. We get into the essential stuff: on‑time performance, keeping buses maintained and in service, and why Tiffany started by "going back to basics" while also upgrading shelters, adding Wi‑Fi, and insisting on more dignity for riders. We also also talk about the culture shift of running transit in a region dominated by the car, the 30% rise in ridership SMART is seeing, and how free student rides and better communication are building a new generation of riders who don't see the bus as "for someone else." You'll hear how Oakland County's all‑in vote opened the door for SMART's first new routes since the 1990s, why microtransit in places like Pontiac and Dearborn is exploding, and what's at stake as Wayne County voters consider going all‑in this August. Tiffany also explains why she rides the buses herself, why collaboration with DDOT and the Transit app matters, and where autonomous vehicles actually fit — as a last‑mile tool, not a silver bullet like many may think. If you care about where Metro Detroit's economy and talent go next, this one's worth the ride.

Don Woodstock, a former bus driver and mayoral candidate in Winnipeg, discusses his vision for improving public transportation. He highlights the challenges faced by bus drivers, including harsh winters and lack of respect. Woodstock criticizes the recent transit overhaul, which cost $4 million and led to route changes that left passengers in the cold. He advocates for electrifying 30-40% of the bus fleet to save long-term costs and for deploying plainclothes officers on buses to enhance safety. Woodstock also emphasizes the need for practical solutions, citing his experience and the city's potential for environmental initiatives like compost pickup. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Federal Transit Administration Administrator Marc Molinaro joins Paul Comfort for an in-depth conversation about federal transit policy, funding, and the future of public transportation.Drawing on his experience as both a member of Congress and the leader of the FTA, Molinaro offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the agency operates, what transit agencies should understand about federal grants, and why building consensus in Washington is often more complicated than it appears.The discussion explores the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee's recently approved surface transportation reauthorization proposal, evolving federal priorities around safety, security, accessibility, and project delivery, and the growing role of bus rapid transit in connecting urban, suburban, and rural communities.Whether you're a transit executive, policymaker, or industry observer, this episode provides valuable insight into how federal decisions shape local transit systems across North America.In This EpisodeWhat the FTA actually does day-to-day How federal transit grants are evaluated and managed Lessons learned from leading the FTA The future of surface transportation reauthorization Safety, security, and accessibility priorities Bus Rapid Transit vs. Light Rail investment trends Why transit legislation advances through "evolution, not revolution" What transit leaders often misunderstand about WashingtonCreditsHost and Producer: Paul Comfort Executive Producer: Julie Gates Producer: Chris O'Keeffe Editor: Patrick Emile Associate Producer: Cyndi Raskin Brand Design: Tina Olagundoye Transit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxo, passionate about moving the world's people.For more information, visit: www.Transit Unplugged.comDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

As the city grows, getting around has become increasingly challenging. Efforts to relieve congestion on I-77 recently came to a halt when leaders rescinded proposed toll lanes. Public transit has grown slowly, with commitments to build the Red Line and the east-west Silver Line. However, those projects could take a decade or longer to complete. We untangle the ins and outs of transit in Charlotte.

First, with the loss of Atlanta Civic Circle, a reminder that local journalism, local podcasting, local "scrutinizers" are in short supply even in a big city, and this economy and constantly altering landscape in news and content delivery don't make it any easier.That's why I chose to divulge that my personal income situation necessitates me taking a job that'll ensure a more stable income for me; but the hope is I'll be able to figure the schedule to keep doing this show. So with that ...- - - Despite crime data showing violent crime is down both in Atlanta and where MARTA police has jurisdiction, two prominent incidents - a violent stabbing murder and a gang-related shooting - has passengers on edge and dubious right wing politicians looking to capitalize. Burt Jones, for example, has spouted off a time or two on social media - even tying Keisha Lance Bottoms to MARTA - while offering nothing to actually solve what ails MARTA. That's the GOP for you, though: never solutions, just band aids with badges. AJC op/ed writer David Plazas wrote on the MARTA situation - from the standpoint of someone who enjoys using it frequently. Like the rest of us, he wants MARTA to succeed and to be better. - - - Another situation where the city's mass transit needs are being awfully bungled: the Atlanta Beltline that now has autonomous vehicles connecting patrons to the southwest portion of the trail via "ATL Spoke." One problem: a study touting its use was biased according to a filed complaint.Sara Gregory's thorough piece in the AJC offers a LOT of smoke that may well lead to a roaring fire of corruption.

Different underwriting reads.There is also different music underneath in the ad break. I have a lot of music I like to use that comes from a friend of mine, but only two of his compositions rotate in the radio version.If you do listen, you'll notice a couple of things. First, I use an effect on my voice when I read from something quoted. If I were doing this in a newsroom, I'd likely have colleagues do some of these voices. Earlier in the podcast I was sending copy to other people to use for this purpose, but I ended that when I began doing the research.Doing the radio show has also made me focus attention to the detail of the audio production. I wasn't thinking much about that back when every single newsletter was also a podcast. I liked being able to do that frequency.According to my records, there is only one example of a June 6 podcast before this one. Here's the one from 2023. Note that it is only about 15 minutes long.Will I still be doing this in 2029? I can't know that for certain, but I can say it is my intent to continue on as long as I can because there are many stories I want to see through.Okay. I need to get to the next set of stories!

Whether you're heading to a match or staying local, this episode will help you make the most of a summer packed with activity in Kent.

My conversation today was heard by hundreds or thousands on Georgia NOW & Progressive Voices, but truly, it was meant for an audience of one - former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who's now the Democratic Party nominee for Governor of Georgia.MARTA's a PR disaster. A ghoulish, murderous stabbing of a grandmother. New trains (again) delayed prior to the FIFA World Cup. "More MARTA" underwhelming the voters that supported it.The Atlanta Beltline is falling further and further from its intention to alleviate in-city gridlock and offer easier mobility from Atlanta's historic neighborhoods as resistance to the rail element continues to build clout. Why not take a page from the Georgia GOP, circa 2020-21, and call for a state takeover of MARTA the way they salivated over wresting the airport from the city? As Atlanta's former mayor, you have your fingerprints on the Beltline project and can't possibly agree with Cox Enterprises CEO Alex Taylor who's joined the NIMBYs and Eastside trail business folks who now don't want the crucial rail element at all anymore, now, can you? Transit ... mobility ... not just for Atlanta in-city, but the metropolitan area and - dare I say - the state (that's home to the world's busiest airport and has feeder airports inexplicably flying people in small numbers at exorbitant fares) should be a top-of-mind conversation for an aspirational gubernatorial candidate. Heck, talk Delta into a public-private partnership. There's precedence for this in Canada. It makes good business sense for Delta, because it clearly did so for Air Canada, too. While the two GOP candidates try to out "tax cut" one another while also slinging mud to and fro, wouldn't be refreshing for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate to counter with something vastly more impactful?I mean a $1000 break here or there is fine, I guess. Not life changing. Reducing commute times, an affordable, swift means to connect to the world's busiest airport from Athens, Augusta, Columbus, Macon & Savannah - all of which makes it viable for people to live just about wherever they want in the state where they can find more affordable housing; that's what would positively impact the lives of so many Georgians.Mrs. Bottoms, you should pronounce to voters that you'll be governor who connects the state. Be the "mobility governor."It's there waiting for someone to grasp. Grasp it.

Should people who make less than $40K a year pay less for public transit? Transit advocate from the local group Movement Aman Chandri joins us to discuss the campaign to lower fares for lower income people.

What happens when you try to live in the real Orlando without a car? We spend a full day riding Lynx buses from the airport to downtown, up to Winter Park, back through the Florida Mall Superstop, and finally to Disney Springs, testing what public transit in Orlando actually feels like on the ground.We talk honestly about the big constraint hanging over everything: half-hour bus frequencies on many routes, plus SunRail not running on weekends. When the schedule is that thin, every transfer becomes high-stakes, and a single missed connection can flip your whole plan. We also run into a classic reliability gut-punch, the “ghost bus,” and compare what different apps and printed signs claim versus what shows up at the curb.If you enjoy detailed transit travel and real-world city rankings, subscribe, share this with an Orlando friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

California created a definition for major transit stops in state code and ties this definition to a lot of housing policies. Jacob Wasserman and Aaron Barrall explore the different ways this definition could be interpreted and how different approaches could mean more or less land available for increased development. Show notes:Wasserman, J.L., Barrall, A., Millard-Ball, A., and Lee, A.

Transit in Metro Detroit is at an inflection point. We talk with Transportation Riders United executive director Megan Owens about the new Wayne County‑wide transit millage, what an extra eight bucks a month could unlock, and how our region invests less in buses than almost any big metro in America. The vote is crucial for the future of transit as it would finally opt-in all communites in Wayne County to transit, similar to how most places nationall work. If it fails, we could lose what service we do have.  They dig into Lansing's latest budget "switcheroo," how Oakland County's all‑in vote reshaped service, and TRU's upcoming Round‑the‑Mitten tour to prove you really can ride public transit from Detroit to Marquette.

It appears that voters will get a chance to decide on a tax measure to bail out the Bay Area's struggling transit agencies. Supporters of the measure say they've gathered more than enough signatures to place it on the November ballot. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor, Rebecca Goodeyon, spoke with KCBS Insider, Phil Matier.

What does success look like for transit agencies in a post-pandemic world? According to Christie Wegener, it may be time to stop measuring against 2019 altogether.In this episode of Transit Unplugged, host Paul Comfort speaks with Christie Wegener, Executive Director of the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA), about the changing realities of suburban transit, evolving commuter behavior, and why reliability may matter more than ridership.Christie explains how LAVTA serves as a critical feeder to BART while navigating the unique challenges of Bay Area travel patterns, remote work, and car-oriented suburban development. She also shares why she believes transit agencies need to rethink traditional KPIs like farebox recovery and pre-COVID ridership comparisons.The conversation also explores:Why transit agencies may need a new baseline for measuring success The operational challenges of coordinating with BART service How cloud-based transit signal priority could reduce travel times Lessons learned from LAVTA's Uber/Lyft partnership and microtransit programs The realities of serving low-density suburban communities LAVTA's new $64 million headquarters project Transit funding challenges facing the Bay Area Christie's journey from social work and public policy into transit leadership CreditsHost and Producer: Paul Comfort Executive Producer: Julie Gates Producer: Chris O'Keeffe Editor: Patrick Emile Associate Producer: Cyndi Raskin Brand Design: Tina Olagundoye Transit Unplugged is brought to you by Modaxo, passionate about moving the world's people.For more information, visit: www.Transit Unplugged.comDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Modaxo Inc., its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any entities they represent (“Modaxo”).

In this episode a group of students and patrons join me to reflect on the recent Mars-Saturn conjunction in Aries, and to share stories of how it manifested in our lives based on which of the twelve houses it was transiting in our birth charts. The episode opens with a brief introduction where I talk about the importance of taking into account both the entire range of the sign-based conjunction or copresence between Mars and Saturn, which lasted from April 9 until May 18, as well as the more intense range of the degree-based conjunction which went exact on April 19. After that I interview several people about their experience of the conjunction, and we end up covering most of the twelve houses. A recurring theme that we keep encountering is letting go of something in our life that was represented by the house of the conjunction, such as quitting smoking under a 6th house conjunction, quitting one's job due to their boss in the 10th house, or leaving one's marriage in the 7th house. It was clear that although this process of letting something go wasn't easy, in many instances it was freeing up the native and making room for something better that would develop in that area of the life in the future.
