In this episode of The Wrap, Chris Whalen says the private credit unwind is now spreading to consumer credit funds and warns that retirees and pension funds will feel the pain most — while the firms that sold these products face devastating reputational damage. On the Fed, he calls Trump's handling of Powell "truly incredible, almost like he wants to screw it up" and warns Powell could remain Fed Chair for three more years if Trump doesn't back down. He says the Fed is late, oil above $100 is not a monetary problem but a political one, and that if Trump puts Marines in the Persian Gulf it could effectively end his presidency. He's buying gold and silver on the dip and watching the K-shaped economy crack wider.Thank you to our partners at Goldco.

Today, we welcome Carl Gawboy to the Native Lights podcast. Carl, born to a Finnish mother and an Ojibwe father, was raised in Ely and is a member of the Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe. Carl is an artist, whose primary medium is watercolors. But he turned to pen and ink for his recent graphic book Fur Trade Nation: An Ojibwe's Graphic History. For a number of years, Carl taught in the Indian Studies departments at the College of St. Scholastica and the University of Minnesota – Duluth. He was given an opportunity to develop a course and that turned into a history of the fur trade. His research revealed that every Ojibwe person, in one fashion or another, worked in the fur trade industry—as trappers, guides, interpreters, cooks, canoe makers, etc. He talks about the book that inspired him to turn his research into a series of black and white drawings. Those evolved into the 2024 book Fur Trade Nation and, more recently, Giclee prints and a calendar. Carl and wife Cindy live in Two Harbors and enjoy spending time with their family and a special feline friend.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood-----For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media. instagram.com/ampersradioinstagram.com/mnnativenewsfacebook.com/MNNativeNewsNever miss a beat.

Come along for some tales from an Island off the coast of Southern California! You can find all of our wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts Santa Catalina Island, nicknamed "Catalina" or "Cat Island", is a charming island getaway located 22 miles off the coast of Southern California. History The island has a rich history dating back thousands of years. The first inhabitants were the Tongva people who lived on the island for over 8,000 years. In 1542, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain, became the first European to set foot on the island. He named it Santa Catalina after Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of sailors. The island remained sparsely populated until the 19th century when it was used as a hunting ground by wealthy mainlanders. In the 1860s, William Wrigley Jr., the chewing gum magnate, purchased a controlling interest in the island and began its development as a resort destination. He is credited with the island's iconic Catalina Casino, which was originally a ballroom dance hall, and the town of Avalon. Locations The island is 21 miles long and 4.2 miles wide, with an area of 76 square miles. Avalon, the main town and port, is located on the eastern end of the island. It's a pedestrian-friendly town with colorful buildings, shops, restaurants, and casinos. Two other settlements are Two Harbors, a smaller village on the island's west side, and the Isthmus, a seasonal community located on the narrow strip of land connecting the island's two halves. Tourist Attractions Catalina is a popular tourist destination known for its Mediterranean climate, stunning scenery, and outdoor activities. Here are some of the top things to do: Explore Avalon: Walk along the Avalon Harbor, browse the shops on Catalina Avenue, or take a glass-bottom boat tour to see the underwater world. Visit the Catalina Casino: This iconic landmark is now a centerpiece for entertainment, dining, and shopping. Hike in the Interior: The island has miles of hiking trails that offer stunning views of the ocean, mountains, and valleys. One popular hike is the Trans-Catalina Trail, a 38.5-mile route that traverses the entire island. Go Ziplining: Experience the thrill of ziplining through the island's canyons and forests. Relax on the Beach: Catalina has many beautiful beaches, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and stand-up paddleboarding. Go Kayaking: Explore the island's coastline by kayak and discover hidden coves and sea caves. Take a Golf Cart Tour: Rent a golf cart and explore the island at your own pace. This is a great way to see the sights and get off the beaten path. Go Scuba Diving or Snorkeling: The waters around Catalina Island are home to a variety of marine life, making it a great place for scuba diving and snorkeling. UFO Sightings Catalina Island is known as a UFO hotspot. There have been many reported sightings of unidentified flying objects over the island for many years. Some people believe that the island's location and magnetic field make it a prime spot for UFO activity. Whether you believe in UFOs or not, the sightings add to the island's mystique and allure.

About 200 guest converged for the fourth Sauna Days event at Larsmont Cottages, North of Duluth, Minnesota, this past weekend. Some came from near, and many came from far. All were able to enjoy the multitude of saunas, speakers, nature, and locally crafted food, beverages, and live entertainment. The recipe for a comfortably numb sauna gathering is much like a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe. We don't need too many ingredients to make something scrumptious. The foundation for Sauna Days 2024 was 12 mobile saunas and one lämpömassa enriched brick and mortar sauna. Then, sprinkle in various food tents, strategically located hydration stations. Add a pinch of LMNT hydration packets (flavors of choice) and a curation of interesting speakers. Finally, as icing on the cake, infinity cold plunge access into the world's largest freshwater lake. Familiar faces A good number of the 200 plus Sauna Days 2024 attendees were repeat vendors and offenders. Familiar faces helped foster countless spontaneous re-connections either on the bench, by one of fire pits, at the bar, on the rocks, or in the lake. “So great to see you again!” And they meant it. “Is this your second or third Sauna Days?” The spontaneous gatherings were akin to traveling from stage to stage at an outdoor music festival. Then, bumping into familar faces from year's past. And, like attending a music festival with great bands and few yahoos, at Sauna Days, everyone knew the lyrics. Songs include: keep sandals outside the saunas, help fill up the löyly buckets, ask who is ready for steam before throwing water on the rocks, and by all means, close the sauna door. Far and wide As sauna becomes more popular, Sauna Days continues to draw people from places beyond the Great Lakes sauna belt region. I found myself on the bench with a couple who came all the way from the Yukon Territory. Other Canadians included Kyle Wilson, Homecraft Saunas, and his wife from Vancouver BC. We had guests from Salt Lake City, Oregon, Northern and Southern California, Florida. And yet none of these participants received the Furthest Traveled Award. That accolade was awarded to Jake Newport from Finnmark saunas. A close second went to Mika & Wendy from the British Sauna Society. The three represented the UK well, proucly wearing their signature British Blue robes as sauna uniforms. Speaker's corner The Brits added some great flavor to the Sauna Days speaker series. Jake Newport shared a slide of a map of Great Britain, showing 100 dots around the British coastline, representing the number of mobile sauna activations there. “Pretty much every beach around the coastline now has a public sauna.” We breathed along with Nick Fox, Learned about Sauna and Sobriety, gleaned insight into the future and scale of Therme Group's wellbeing oasis's (bigger than Yankee Stadium!) with President Robbie Hammond. The Steam Masters Many were quietly sharing that a highlight experience for Sauna Days 2024 was getting wacked around by one of the three Steam Masters. The three administered venik treatments in either the Steam Lodge or Deep Wave Sauna's Black Night sauna. We were blessed to have three steam masters lead rounds of venik treatments. Dan from The Banya House, California Alex, and B Alex from BSaunas in Buffalo, NY. In addition to Sauna Days being the first weekend of May, the Steam Masters introduced us to a sister event first weekend of October: Banya Fest at a stately church camp just outside Minneapolis/St. Paul. A highlight of the weekend was learning more about the ancient practice of Eastern European banya and venik treatments, documented as a Sauna Days presentation and a soon to be released Sauna Talk podcast. Sauna in nature As wonderful as it was to experience multiple saunas scattered throughout the grounds at Larsmont Cottages, once again, nature seems to provide us with the best amenity. Larsmont Cottages is set along the shores of Lake Superior. Sauna Days guests were treated to rosy red skyline sunsets, night skies bursting with stars, and even a Hawaii-esque rainbow, as we celebrated a passing shower in the later afternoon sun. Northern Minnesota sauna is always enjoyed in nature. Sauna in nature is bigger than all of us. And no bigger than within Sauna Days 2024 at Larsmont Cottages, Two Harbors, Minnesota.
