From the publisher:"In the nineteenth century, Manhattan's streets were so choked with pedestrians, horses, vehicles, and vendors that a trip from City Hall to Central Park could take hours. Alfred Beach had the perfect solution: build a giant pneumatic tube underneath Broadway from the Battery to Harlem. Air pressure would shoot passengers up and down the island in clean, quiet carriages. But Beach was up against the operators of the horse-drawn streetcars and the politicians in their pay, most conspicuously William M. Tweed, the notorious “Boss” of Tammany Hall.New York's Secret Subway: The Underground Genius of Alfred Beach and the Origins of Mass Transit tells a classic story of good versus evil, pitting the mild-mannered Beach, a visionary inventor and entrepreneur, against the oafish tyrant Tweed, the exemplar of corruption in the Gilded Age. It also tells the story of one of the most astonishing feats of engineering in American history, the surreptitious creation of the nation's first operational subway.New York seemed destined to become the second city in the world with a comprehensive subway system, after London. Unfortunately, political lethargy and greed would conspire to deny the city a subway for another thirty years.Yet Alfred Beach still proved conclusively the feasibility of underground railways in Manhattan, and paved the way for modern mass transportation systems."Matthew Algeo's website is https://www.malgeo.net/Information on his book can be found at https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9781642833652/new-yorks-secret-subwayAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Episode 222 takes us to the Tweed River for the 2026 Daiwa Bream Series Crush City Tweed River Round, held on 1–2 August. As Steve Morgan puts it, there's “good Tweed” and there's the tougher version — and this event definitely leaned towards the latter. With the boating division won with 4.78 kg and the non-boater division with 2.610 kg, anglers had to adapt as patterns changed and productive pre-fish areas failed to fire once competition began. In this episode we speak with the top three anglers from both divisions and break down how they found their fish, the lures and presentations that worked, and the decisions that ultimately put them on the podium. In the non-boater division, Colin Wilson finishes third after being one of only three non-boaters to catch a full six-fish tournament limit. Tom Guest travels across from Western Australia and takes second, learning some valuable lessons about fishing heavier jigheads in strong tidal flow along the way. Lance Marsh then makes it back-to-back Tweed River victories, adapting between shallow edges, deeper walls and a mix of prawn-style presentations to secure another win. The boating division produces an extraordinary three-way tie on 4.695 kg between Chris Lonnie, Steve Morgan and Kris Hickson, with the countback system determining the final placings. Steve Morgan talks through his approach to pre-fishing and managing productive areas, while Chris Lonnie's 3.080 kg day-one bag ultimately earns him second place. Finally, Sam Peck joins us after securing his first ABT win with 4.78 kg. Sam explains how he targeted pontoons and canals, including the crankbait and surface-lure approaches that helped him put together enough weight on a river that had largely shut down. One of the most interesting parts of this round is the variety of successful approaches. Soft plastics, lightly weighted prawns, crankbaits, Cranka Crabs, surface lures and different depths and structures all feature throughout the episode. If you fish for bream — particularly in tidal rivers where yesterday's pattern can disappear overnight — there are plenty of lessons in this one.

Weaving in Scotland In this episode of 'Unique Scotland', John Harbour explores the history and cultural significance of weaving in Scotland, inspired by his previous interview with Clare Campbell of the Highland tartan mill, Prickly Thistle. The podcast traces Scotland's textile heritage from its earliest beginnings through industrialisation and into the modern era. He talks about the survival of hand looms in the Outer Hebrides, especially in the Isle of Harris where the woven material is legally protected. And how did one man, with a loom in his garden shed satisfy NIKE's demand for 20,000 metres of cloth. You will hear an interview with Donald John Mackay who satisfied that order. Although ancient textiles rarely survive in Scotland's climate, archaeological evidence shows that Scots were working with fibres and woven fabrics thousands of years ago. Over centuries, weaving became an essential part of rural life, with families producing cloth in homes, crofts, and villages. This domestic industry laid the foundations for Scotland's later textile evolution. Scottish weaving developed around four key fibres, each shaping different regions and communities. Wool, Scotland's most iconic fibre, was produced from sheep in the Highlands, Islands, Borders, and upland regions, leading to famous products such as tweed and tartan. Flax, used to make linen, was cultivated mainly in eastern Scotland and supported important industries in Fife, Angus, and Perthshire. Cotton, imported through Atlantic trade, fuelled the growth of textile mills in Paisley, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and New Lanark, transforming clothing and fashion. Jute, imported from Bengal, turned Dundee into one of the world's leading industrial textile centres, producing sacks, canvas, and other durable materials. The Industrial Revolution transformed Scottish weaving by moving production from homes into mechanised mills. While industrialisation brought growth, employment, and international trade, it also disrupted traditional ways of life, reducing the role of hand spinners and weavers and creating new factory-based working conditions. Two of Scotland's most famous textiles are Tartan and Tweed. Tartan became closely associated with Highland culture, clan identity, and ceremonial dress. Tweed developed as a practical woollen cloth suited to Scotland's rugged climate before becoming internationally recognised for its quality and connection to country life. Royal patronage, particularly from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Balmoral, helped elevate tweed's prestige. The pinnacle of Scottish weaving tradition is Harris Tweed, produced in the Outer Hebrides. Protected by law, Harris Tweed must be made from pure virgin wool, dyed and spun in the islands, and handwoven by islanders in their homes. Its unique colours, durability, and craftsmanship have made it one of the world's most respected fabrics, demonstrating how traditional skills can thrive in modern markets. John's interview with Donald John Mackay, a Harris Weaver for 70 years, brings to life this cottage industry where Harris Tweed is protected by law. Today, Scotland's textile industry combines large-scale luxury manufacturers with smaller craft businesses and independent weavers. Companies in the Scottish Borders, Elgin, Dundee, and the Outer Hebrides continue to produce world-class fabrics, while businesses such as Prickly Thistle emphasise sustainability, local identity, and traditional craftsmanship. Ultimately, Scotland's weaving story is one of adaptation, resilience, and cultural continuity. From prehistoric fibres and cottage industries to global fashion and luxury textiles, weaving remains deeply connected to Scotland's landscape, communities, history, and identity. You will also hear an interview with Dan, an army veteran whose cancer diagnosis brought him to Scotland to make memories for his family. John, a Navy veteren himself, organised the tour and a special visit to the prestigious Army club in Edinburgh, the Royal Scots Club.

What an interview! Such a huge honor and pleasure to sit down with such a talented actress… Hang out with Tonya and me as we go deep into the mines to talk about the incredible behind-the-scenes stories from the set, her character's arc, how she was able to ground herself through the intense sequences, working along side the legendary Jill Larson, plus much more. Overall, The Taking of Deborah Logan is one of the most chilling, claustrophobic, and genuinely terrifying found-footage horror films of the last decade. This film blindsided horror fans everywhere, turning a heartbreaking medical documentary into an absolute nightmare.

This week Matt connects two stories most of the press is filing as background noise. First, a brand-new Fed chair just took the oath, the old chair never actually left, and the smart money is already positioned for a move nobody at the podium will admit out loud. Then, our biggest foreign lenders are quietly walking away from the table after 40 years of bankrolling America — and that's the single biggest threat to the equity in your home right now. Matt walks through the playbook, the receipts from JP Morgan's private bank, and the regular-person version of the move the family offices and Ivy League endowments already made.

You know the feeling. You post the last minute cancellation, the one that used to fill within the hour, and now it just sits there. The Monday DMs that used to be mental are quiet. The new client requests that used to roll in are a trickle. You are not imagining it, and you are not doing anything wrong.In this episode, Sam and Jen are joined by one of Sam's dearest friends and the final piece of her rat pack, Rach from Halo Hair and Beauty in Tweed. Fourteen years a salon owner, six years an educator, and refreshingly honest about what has actually shifted in this industry. Rach and the girls get into the thing most owners are quietly worried about and almost no one is saying out loud. The clients are not coming the way they used to, building a new column is harder than it has been in years, and the old playbook of post on Monday and fill by Friday does not work anymore.This is a real conversation about the new landscape of the Australian salon industry. Why younger clients are skipping colour altogether. Why the hate around pricing online misses what a haircut actually costs to deliver. Why a smaller team has quietly become the smarter, calmer, more profitable choice. And the slow shift that comes with time in the chair, when you stop chasing the bigger salon and start enjoying the one you already built.What we coverWhy building a new client column is so much harder than ten years agoThe new client landscape and why last minute spots no longer fill the way they didYounger clients going natural and skipping colour, and what that does to the booksThe online hate around salon pricing and the real cost behind a haircutWhy a smaller team often means better culture, less tax and more profitKnowing your numbers and team targets so you are not paying people to do nothingWhy going back to basics is the skill apprentices are missingChoosing to enjoy the salon you have built instead of always chasing moreSome weeks the most powerful thing you can do is jump in, do what you need, and jump back out.FAQsWhy is it harder to build a new client column now than it used to be? Demand has shifted, so the steady stream of new clients many salons relied on has slowed right down. More people are going natural or stretching out appointments, which means fewer new bookings and a slower build for newer team members.Is a smaller salon team better than a bigger one? For many owners, yes. A smaller team can mean stronger culture, less time spent managing people, and a lower wage, tax and superannuation load, which often leaves the business more profitable and far less stressful to run.Why do salon prices feel so high right now? A haircut or colour covers far more than the time in the chair. Rent, stock, insurance, superannuation and tax all come out of that price, and rising client expectations mean each service takes more time and skill than it used to.Mentioned in this episode:

Tweed, the springer spaniel has the distinction of being the UK's first digital asset detection dog. Martin King of the Devon and Cornwall Police Dog Section tells the origin story of this vitally important search discipline in the UK. Known as electronic storage detection, digital asset detection and various other names, Tweed's skillset is firmly established as a key discipline for evidentiary purposes within the police. Back in 2015, a trainer in his force read an article about such detection work going on in Connecticut, U.S.A. The trainer, Graham Atwood, visited and brought back the knowhow to train the UK's first two dogs. Tweed won Service Dog of the Year 2025 and was shortlisted for Crufts Hero Dog of the Year 2026.

Comfort Stops Growth.Megan Boucherball, President & CEO of Green Tweed, walked away from leading a billion-dollar business at DuPont because she realized something…Success can become a trap.Her role was secure.The path was clear.The reputation opened doors.But she knew she had stopped growing.So she left the corporate safety net to help build a startup with one employee, real payroll pressure, and no guarantee it would work.That decision completely changed how she leads.In this conversation, we get into questions every ambitious leader eventually has to face:• How do you know when your career has become too comfortable?• What happens to your leadership when the safety net disappears?• Are you actually growing… or just getting better at protecting what you've already built?She told me: “Until your back is against the wall, you really haven't faced adversity.”I think a lot of leaders spend years trying to avoid discomfort.But discomfort is usually where the real growth starts.Has leading outside of your comfort zone helped you grow?-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

Send us Fan MailEpisode 329 - Tweed Salmon Festival 2026The drive from Devon to attend the festival was a long one but worth it.I got the chance to meet some amazing people who care deeply about bringing people into fishing, caring about the fish and the waters they swim in.I based myself in the Yeti bar, a converted removal lorry but also walked around the festival to speak with demonstrators, tackle companies and those attending too.This isn't a trade show though. It is about encouraging youngsters to explore the world of fishing and to give them a taster of why we all love it so much.Eoin Fairgrieve is an extraordinary man. Someone who has boundless enthusiasm, passion and drive for our pastime.He has pulled off a wonderful event, made sure everyone had a good time and somehow also produced a journal to accompany the event.I have done my best to capture a little about what it was all about that I hope you'll enjoy listening to.

Ein verregneter Nachmittag irgendwo in einer englischen Kleinstadt. Die Tür eines kleinen Ladens öffnet sich mit einem leisen Klingeln. Drinnen: enge Gänge, überfüllte Kleiderstangen, der Duft von Stoffen, Holz und ein wenig Vergangenheit. Zwischen Tweed-Sakkos, Seidenschals und Porzellan mit königlichen Motiven hängen Kleidungsstücke, die schon ein Leben geführt haben und nun darauf warten, ein neues zu beginnen. In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best sprechen Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling mit Königshausexperte Andy Englert, stellvertretender Chefredakteur von Frau im Spiegel und Frau im Spiegel Royal über eine typisch britische Institution: Charity Shops und die Welt der Vintage-Kleidung. Orte, die auf den ersten Blick unscheinbar wirken und doch tief in der britischen Alltagskultur verankert sind. Von London bis in die entlegensten Regionen des Landes bilden sie ein Netzwerk aus Spenden, Ehrenamt und Wiederverwertung. Dieses System ist in dieser Form einzigartig: Kleidung, Bücher, Haushaltsgegenstände - nahezu alles kann gespendet werden. Verkauft wird nicht nur für den guten Zweck, sondern auch mit einem feinen Gespür für Qualität und Geschichte. Zwischen Alltagsgegenständen finden sich immer wieder außergewöhnliche Stücke: handgestrickte Pullover aus schottischer Wolle, klassische Duffelcoats, Vintage-Tweed oder sogar Designerware zu niedrigen Preisen. Nicht selten sind es gerade die Dinge ohne Label, die den größten Reiz ausmachen. Gleichzeitig erzählen diese Läden von einer Gesellschaft, die stark auf freiwilliges Engagement setzt. Ehrenamtliche prägen das Bild hinter den Ladentheken, oft über Jahrzehnte hinweg. Charity ist hier kein abstrakter Begriff, sondern gelebter Alltag - ein Zusammenspiel aus Geben, Weitergeben und Unterstützen. Jeder Einkauf wird Teil eines größeren Zusammenhangs, der von lokalen Initiativen bis hin zu nationalen Organisationen reicht. Und doch bleibt die Suche immer auch ein persönliches Erlebnis. Zwischen Portobello Road, Camden Lock oder kleinen Orten entlang der Küste stellt sich die gleiche Frage: Wo verbergen sich die besten Fundstücke? Was macht den Unterschied zwischen Second Hand und echtem Vintage? Und warum erzählen gerade diese Dinge so viel über Stil, Haltung und britische Lebensart?

Stephen Tweed has spent 40 years as a business strategist in healthcare at home and founded the Home Care CEO Forum in 2013. He's not retiring - he's rewiring. And his latest deep dive is into how artificial intelligence will transform the home care industry.In this episode, Stephen lays out a framework drawn from Sangeet Paul Chaudhary's book Reshuffle that breaks AI's impact on home care into three distinct levels: individual tasks, organizational systems, and the competitive ecosystem. It's a practical way to think about where your agency is today and where the real opportunities are heading.At the task level, the big wins are in sales and marketing, caregiver recruiting, and scheduling. Stephen shares a striking statistic from a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center symposium - only 34% of physician prescribing decisions are based on actual medical knowledge. The parallel to home care is real: how much of what schedulers and recruiters do is based on solid data versus intuition and habit? AI closes that gap by analyzing information faster than any human can wade through it.At the systems level, Stephen walks through his five phases of flow - attraction, conversion, staffing, caregiving, and collection - and the 12 operational systems that high-performing agencies need to have in place. He explains how AI can continuously improve those systems, using a sales example where analyzing referral data reveals that trusted advisors like bank trust officers, geriatric care managers, and estate attorneys consistently deliver clients with the highest hours per week and longest length of stay. That's the kind of insight that should be driving where your sales reps spend their time.The conversation also covers client-caregiver matching, Stephen's "rule of threes" for caregiver types (full-time professional, halftime professional, and part-time intermittent), and the emerging world of agentic AI - where software doesn't just analyze but takes action, like reaching out to caregivers to fill open shifts.Ken and Stephen also discuss the critical importance of respecting client privacy as AI technology enters the home - a lesson Stephen learned from his own grandmother 25 years ago in an assisted living facility: "Don't shout, I'm not deaf. Respect my privacy. This is my home."Guest Info: Stephen Tweed - Leading Home Care, a Tweed Jeffries company Website: leadinghomecare.com Email: stephen@leadinghomecare.com Newsletter: Stephen Tweed's Thursday Thoughts (subscribe at leadinghomecare.com) LinkedIn: Stephen TweedHome Care Heroes and Day Service Stars is produced and sponsored by Ankota - If you provide services that enable older or disabled people to continue living at home , Ankota can provide you the software to successfully run your agency.

The beautifully unhinged "Kraut Cheap Tune" is like stumbling into a broken arcade in some lysergic hinterland where the machines have learned to improvise. A-Tweed strips away the usual constraints here, letting the tracks breathe and mutate across odd terrains, somewhere between krautrock's hypnotic sprawl and chiptune's glitchy nostalgia. The Rome-based producer, known for his elastic approach to tempo and texture, opens up new space on this EP for Sketchy Lines Records.  Toulouse Low Trax delivers two takes on "Junk Foot," each one pulling the original into different orbits, while Kamoun's rework of "Dixan Cheap Tuning" offers another dimension entirely. Fresh dimensions indeed – this is A-Tweed at his most exploratory, and the results are properly compelling. Out February 24th on Sketchy Lines Records.

This week the Wine Guides step into the world of Port and discover how deep this style really goes. Colin, Aaron, and Joel taste Fonseca Bin 27 and Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Tawny side by side. The shift from bold fruit to warm caramel sparks real reactions and a few childhood flashbacks. They break down what makes Port a fortified wine from the Douro Valley, why the British shaped its history, and how aging transforms everything in the glass.You hear the crew pick apart structure, sweetness, and that signature warmth that sets Port apart from other dessert wines. They call out what to expect from a Ruby and a Tawny, when decanting actually matters, and why Port works for more than just dessert. They also dig into pairing ideas and talk about which bottle fits which moment.If you have ever been Port curious or wondered what the fuss is about, this tasting gives you a clear entry point. The conversation is fun, thoughtful, and full of small surprises that make Port feel a lot more approachable.Connect with the show.

Tweed, spatserkäpp, blomma i kavajslaget och en blasé attityd. Dandyn har smyckat våra gator i mer än 200 år och vi kartlägger hans historia. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Dandyn föddes i slutet av 1700-talet och har med alla sina förvandlingar följt med oss ända in i vår egen tid. Men vem har dandyn varit genom historien, och vad kan han (eller hon!) berätta om sin samtid? Urban Björstadius och Johan Hakelius går på stilspaning vid Karlaplan på Östermalm i Stockholm, där mjukisbyxor och gympaskor ersatt tweedkavajer och hattar, för att kartlägga vad en dandy varit och vem han är idag. Och hör historikern Peter K Andertsson, aktuell med boken ”The Dandy - a Peoples History of Sartorial Splendor” berätta om grilljannar, zoot suits, sockerbitskastning och annat i dandyns historia.Programledare är Tobias Svanelid.

This week, scholar Thomas A. Tweed discusses his new book Religion in the Lands that Became America. A sweeping retelling of American religious history, Tweed shows how religion has enhanced and hindered human flourishing from the Ice Age to the Information Age. Tweed is joined by fellow Indigenous Studies professor John N. Low. This conversation [...]

Michael covers strong visitor numbers at the renovated Sarjeant Gallery, investors wanted to build a new hotel in Whanganui's CBD, a new pirate ship with an interesting past for Ohakune's playground and the three bridges run signals the start of summer.

Our guest today is the man who literally holds the keys to some of the most iconic music in history. Mark Linett is a three-time Grammy-winning producer and audio engineer, he's worked with legends like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, and Randy Newman. But you know him best as the sonic architect for The Beach Boys' incredible catalog—the one who gave us the definitive stereo mix of Pet Sounds and meticulously brought The Smile Sessions to life.  A great guest all around.   We also dive into what scared us when we were young, kinks, and play a game where Mike must decide if he has the same brain as Scott's 5 year old.  Have a listen!

Mike discusses the fallout after Maori ward candidates left out of local election voting booklets, the clean-up of a car cemetery in Raetihi and the local boat builder about to hit a building milestone.

Henry III of England and Alexander II of Scotland met in York to settle the whole "where does England end, and where does Scotland begin?" question on 25th September, 1237. The consequent ‘Treaty of York' (mostly) settled the map of the borders right up to the present day. Alexander agreed to give up claims on northern English counties like Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland in return for a small chunk of land and the right to hand over one falcon a year as a symbolic payment. Yes, a falcon. Medieval politics loved a bit of flair. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how future English kings could spin Scotland's resultant ‘fealty' as an admission that England was the natural powerhouse; discover the lawlessness of the borderlands for the centuries afterwards; and reveal just how many times Berwick-upon-Tweed has caused a cartographical headache… Further Reading: • ‘A History of Scotland, Series 1, Hammers of the Scots, The Treaty of York, 1237' (BBC, 2013): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0198xmq • ‘Magna Carta, Scotland and Scots Law' (University of Edinburgh, 2025): https://www.pure.ed.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/31216033/Magna_Carta_Scotland_and_Scots_Law_LQR_version.pdf • ‘The world's oldest border?'

Vampires today? Slick hair, silk capes. Some eve sparkle. Vampires back then? Bloated corpses crawling out of the dirt to ruin your crops and torment you with whispering your sins in the dark. In this week's episode, the Hosts dig deep—literally—into two of Britain's grimiest, creepiest, nastiest vampire legends: the Berwick Revenant and the Melrose Chaplain. These aren't your Victorian nightwalkers with dinner reservations and box seats at the opera! These are medieval undead freakshows with unfinished business. First, we head to Berwick-on-Tweed, where a pious man dies, only to rise again each night—chased through the streets by hellhounds from the fiery below. Then it's off to Melrose Abbey, where a debauched priest refuses to stay in the ground, creeping back from the grave to haunt his former patron - and anyone else who skipped evening prayers. What do these revenants want?... Blood? Maybe... Redemption? Doubtful... Peace? Only if you burn the body and do it fast. Join us as we dive into plague, purgatory, and the part of vampire folklore where the vamps aren't sexy—they're just filthy.

Until now, the standard narrative of American religious history has begun with English settlers in Jamestown or Plymouth and remained predominantly Protestant and Atlantic. Driven by his strong sense of the historical and moral shortcomings of the usual story, Thomas A. Tweed offers a very different narrative in this ambitious new history. He begins the story much earlier—11,000 years ago—at a rock shelter in present-day Texas and follows Indigenous Peoples, African Americans, transnational migrants, and people of many faiths as they transform the landscape and confront the big lifeway transitions, from foraging to farming and from factories to fiber optics. Setting aside the familiar narrative themes, Dr. Tweed highlights sustainability, showing how religion both promoted and inhibited individual, communal, and environmental flourishing during three sustainability crises: the medieval Cornfield Crisis, which destabilized Indigenous ceremonial centers; the Colonial Crisis, which began with the displacement of Indigenous Peoples and the enslavement of Africans; and the Industrial Crisis, which brought social inequity and environmental degradation. The unresolved Colonial and Industrial Crises continue to haunt the nation, Dr. Tweed suggests, but he recovers historical sources of hope as he retells the rich story of America's religious past. Our guest is: Dr. Thomas A. Tweed, who is professor emeritus of American Studies and history at the University of Notre Dame. A past president of the American Academy of Religion, he is the editor of Retelling U.S. Religious History and the author numerous books including Religion: A Very Short Introduction, and Religion in the Lands That Became America.

Alan R. Warren: Above Suspicion: The True Story of Serial Killer Russell WilliamsYoung girl's panties started to go missing; sexual assaults began to occur, and then female bodies were found! Soon this quiet town of Tweed, Ontario, was in panic. What's even more shocking was when an upstanding resident stood accused of the assaults. This was not just any man, but a pillar of the community; a decorated military pilot who had flown Canadian Forces VIP aircraft for dignitaries such as the Queen of England, Prince Philip, the Governor General and Prime Minister of Canada.This is the story of serial killer Russell Williams, the elite pilot of Canada's Air Force One, and the innocent victims he murdered. Unlike other serial killers, Williams seemed very unaffected about his crimes and leading two different lives.Alan R. Warren describes the secret life including the abductions, rape and murders that were unleashed on an unsuspecting community. Included are letters written to the victims by Williams and descriptions of the assaults and rapes as seen on videos and photos taken by Williams during the attacks.https://amzn.to/3J8RZb7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

We speak with a company that provides guest WiFi solutions and interactive maps, and an airport seeking to use the technology to enhance the customer experience. In the news, a study of drone risks to aircraft, evasive action to avoid a B-52, route changes at Avelo and Breeze, and the possibility of continued relaxation of TSA security checkpoint rules. Guests Purple Chief Revenue Officer Shawn Bossons. Shaun Bossons is the Chief Revenue Officer at Purple, a company that provides tools for businesses to turn their physical venues into intelligent spaces. Purple helps airports (and others) enhance visitor experiences, optimize staff efficiency, and drive additional revenue with indoor location services. MidAmerica/St. Louis Airport Director Darren James. Photo by Tim Vizer for MAA. Darren James is the Airport Director of the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport (BLV). MidAmerica is utilizing the airport WiFi offered by Purple to help engage its customers and bring value to the travel experience. Shawn and Darren talk about traveler engagement, what that means, and how it has changed over time in the context of the airport experience. They explain how airport WiFi can be used to provide targeted communication that helps the traveler navigate the airport safely and reduce anxiety. Because personal information is always an important topic in a system that collects data, we look at how it is protected in the context of airport WiFi. Consumers are generally willing to share information if they know it is secure and they receive some value in return. At the same time, collecting too much information adds friction, and with too much friction, customers will disconnect. Purple was founded because getting connected was sometimes difficult while traveling. MidAmerica is using Purple's airport WiFi offering to engage travelers and improve their experience at the airport. Aviation News Embry-Riddle study warns of drone risks to aircraft The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University study was conducted for the FAA. Researchers looked at data from 6,037 documented flights with altitude information and found that at least 573 flew to an altitude of between 400 and 500 feet, while 781 flew to 500 feet or above. The ceiling established by the FAA for drone flights is 400 feet. The study utilized sensors placed across the country that collected data from Remote  Identification signals, which the FAA has required registered drones to transmit since 2023. Pilot Of Delta Air Flight Performs ‘Aggressive Maneuver' To Avoid Mid-Air Collision With B-52 Bomber Delta Air Lines flight DL-3788, an Embraer 175 operated by SkyWest, was flying between Minneapolis and Minot International Airport in North Dakota. Minot is also a US Air Force base for B-52 bombers. During the approach to the airport, the pilot executed an “aggressive maneuver” to avoid a B-52 on a convergent path. Minot Airport has no radar. Air traffic control visually ensures there is sufficient separation between aircraft on approach to landing. Avelo to ground West Coast flights, says decision won't affect Tweed or Bradley Avelo Airlines has announced that it is closing its West Coast flight network by the end of the year. That includes its base at Hollywood Burbank Airport and all destinations to and from California, Las Vegas, Oregon, Montana, and Washington state. Avelo started operations in 2021 at Burbank. Financial difficulties and insufficient profitability are cited as reasons for the shutdown. Breeze Airways Expands On West Coast As Avelo Retreats Avelo Airlines and Breeze Airways both operate point-to-point routes in underserved markets. Avelo flies used 737s with a basic product offering. Breeze flies new A220s with Wi-Fi and premium seating. As Avelo pulls out of the West Coast, Breeze plans to expand into markets that have been served by Avelo, including Arcata, California (ACV), Burbank, California (BUR), Eugene, Oregon (EUG),
