With thanks to “forever” plastics, the earth has reverted to sand and dust. Dylan has been raised by her scientist mother, in a pod under the sea, and longs to escape the loneliness of being confined. The only friend she ever had was a pen pal from Mars, who disappeared. With great effort, she's escorted onto land, to the place of her mother's employment where she becomes the groundskeeper. Unofficially, she begins studying sand. After a few years, the company sends her on a vacation and she meets Melanie, possibly a robot. Love flourishes on the floundering planet, but death is never far, and Dylan's pen pal returns too late in Earth 7 (Graywolf Press 2026), a dystopian novel about the frailty of the planet, the ongoing need for scientific research, and the human struggle for survival.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — officially, Project Freedom was paused to give negotiations with Iran a chance. Unofficially? New reporting suggests key Gulf allies may have pushed back hard against the operation behind closed doors, raising questions about fractures inside the coalition confronting Tehran. Later in the show — the IDF says it killed a top Hezbollah Radwan commander in a precision strike on Beirut, marking Israel's first attack on the Lebanese capital in weeks. Also later in the show — Ukraine launches a massive drone assault ahead of Russia's Victory Day celebrations, reportedly striking a logistics hub near Moscow and targeting a Russian missile warship capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles.

They took years to build the rocket and minutes to launch it, sending two ordinary men where others had vanished forever. Officially, it was a simple trip around the moon. Unofficially, it was a gamble born of desperation, pride, and a belief that ignorance might succeed where genius had failed. They Reached For The Moon by William Oberfield. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Before the Moon became a destination, it was only a dream—distant, untouchable, and forever beyond reach. Today, it's easy to forget what an impossible idea space travel once was, no human would even orbit the earth for another 10 years after this story was written. No human being had ever seen the far side of the Moon until Apollo 8 circled it in December of 1968. For centuries, the Moon belonged to poets and storytellers—not astronauts.Seventeen years earlier, in 1951, William Oberfield dared to imagine what had never been done. He wrote this story at a time when rockets were crude, computers barely existed, and spaceflight was a lot closer to fantasy than engineering. Yet Oberfield looked up and saw not mystery alone, but possibility.Only four of William Oberfield's stories were published, this was the last of them. From the November 1951 issue of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy on page 80, They Reached For The Moon by William Oberfield…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Far from help and beyond certainty, a returning astronaut confronts a problem that logic cannot solve. Survival depends on a forbidden experiment that could unlock impossible insight—or erase him completely.

On the deadly sands of Mars, a grieving pioneer turns survival into a ruthless game of patience, grit, and vengeance. As the desert closes in, every mile reveals who is truly prepared to face death. Death Walks on Mars by Alan J. Ramm. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.A slightly belated—but very enthusiastic—thank you to TLD, who bought us a coffee before Christmas and somehow managed to wait patiently while we finally caught up.

For the Glory KC is back with the 160th episode of the show and the first of 2026!Sporting Kansas City officially had a relatively quiet week. Unofficially, they have a coach they are set to announce on Monday. Tom Bogert is reporting it, and the team was already teasing an announcement before he broke the story. It looks like it's long rumored Raphael Wicky, who we learned about over a month ago. We give our initial reactions to the news.While that's unofficial, the team did make one official move this week. Sporting KC traded with the Chicago Fire for 21-year-old right back Justin Reynolds. Couple that with the rumored transfer for Cesar Inga and suddenly Sporting KC nearly have enough defenders to actually play a soccer match.Sheena and I weigh in on all the news with preseason set to start next weekend. We recap the offseason and the state of the roster, coaching staff and all things Sporting KC headed into the 2026 season. There is still a lot of work to be done and hopefully it's a very busy week of announcements and press conferences to come.The KC Current got only bad news this week with the announcement that Mary Long tore her ACL. It makes the departure of Alex Pfeiffer even more stunning since the forward depth is nonexistent for the Current. That said, Bia Zaneratto remains available to sign according to her agent. Plus, we talk about happy news for several players who got married or engaged recently.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:The Columbus Crew hired a coach (only SKC are unofficially left without one)LA Galaxy's Puig has another knee surgeryUSL Championship have labor problemsHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC have their coach, right? - 4:53SKC signing and rumor - 15:51Where do things stand with SKC? - 26:59KC Current injury - 54:02Digital Crawl - 1:04:57As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

In the 2000s, Prince Andrew reinvented himself as Britain's “Special Representative for Trade and Investment.” Officially, he was bringing prosperity to the UK. Unofficially, he was building a network of dubious friendships — oligarchs, dictators, financiers — and a reputation for arrogance that alarmed diplomats. As luxury trips and questionable deals piled up, whispers reached Buckingham Palace. The Queen defended him. Charles worried privately. William took notes.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Officially, the Imperial Intelligence Agency's Headquarters are in Cairn House, Charterhall. Unofficially, the Palace works mostly in the field. An operation targeting Blackthorne Park's own agents in the Dagger Isles has gone sour, leaving both parties in the dark and out some very valuable assets. There's a mole, and the Palace needs them found. Victor Shaw - called Crown by his peers - has set you a task. He can trust no one else. He knows it must be one of three people involved in the operation: Hester Prichard, the cynical handler whose judgment has never been in question even if now her loyalties are, Luca Baine, the spy whose intelligence has ensured the Palace's supremacy despite the best efforts of our rivals, and the assassin codenamed Thistle, whose protege Hyacinth died on the operation under mysterious circumstances. No player of the Game can be unaware that they are under suspicion, and the leak might be sprung from Duskwall at any moment. In seventy-two hours, Crown will have to make a decision. The wrong one could be disastrous. The right one could be disastrous. And if Blackthorn Park gets a hold of the mole before us, it will be very embarrassing indeed...   Support us at https://ko-fi.com/desperateattune and at https://www.patreon.com/DesperateAttune Follow us at https://bsky.app/profile/desperateattune.bsky.social Edited by Zoheb (Klow)  Featuring tree, salty, Aadiyat and Zoheb Blades '68 by John Harper and Evil Hat Productions Music is 'Jingle Bells Forever!!!' by Sri T N Krishnan Cover art by Fahim Anzoom Rumman (botagainsthumanity) 

On Tuesday, a sprawling two-part Vanity Fair piece built from more than a dozen interviews with Susie Wiles, President Trump's chief of staff, dropped online. It is, without exaggeration, one of the most revealing portraits of an active White House power broker I can remember. Wiles describes Trump as having an “alcoholic's personality,” a striking characterization given his lifelong teetotalism. Trump, notably, did not dispute it. He later confirmed the description himself, calling it aggressive, possessive, and myopic.Wiles also took shots across the bow at several major figures. She labeled Elon Musk an “odd duck,” dismissed his politics, and triggered a very public response that included Musk taking a drug test near my own neighborhood to rebut claims of ketamine use. She endorsed JD Vance as the likely Republican nominee in 2028 while simultaneously describing his MAGA conversion as politically convenient. On Epstein, she confirmed Trump's name appears in the files, contradicted Trump's claims about Bill Clinton, and slammed Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the document release as a total failure. These were not slips. They were deliberate disclosures from someone who understands power intimately.Perhaps most telling was Wiles's admission that some Trump-era prosecutions look vindictive and that Venezuelan boat strikes were intended to pressure Nicolás Maduro politically, not just disrupt drug trafficking. That level of candor is rare. It reframes policy decisions as leverage rather than law enforcement, and it explains why the article landed like a grenade inside Republican circles.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Payrolls grew by 64,000 jobs, better than feared but far from robust. Unemployment climbed to 4.6 percent, the highest level in more than four years, signaling a labor market that is cooling but not collapsing. The Labor Department flagged unusual data uncertainty due to the government shutdown, muddying trend lines even further.Supporters of the administration argue that private sector employment remains solid and that government job losses were inevitable given debt and deficits. Critics counter that Trump ran as the “economy man,” and this is not an economy that inspires confidence. Manufacturing and professional services continue to contract, while gains are concentrated in health care and education. The Fed's recent rate cut looks justified, but the promised “golden age” is difficult to sell when affordability remains front and center for voters.A Prime-Time Address and the Politics of the MomentAll of this sets the stage for Trump's prime-time address from the White House, scheduled for Wednesday night. Officially, there is no news hook. Unofficially, this looks like a straight-to-camera year-in-review and year-ahead speech, a nakedly political address designed to reset the narrative as he approaches the midpoint of his second term. If there were a major announcement, such as a Russia-Ukraine breakthrough or a stimulus package, it would not stay secret. The absence of leaks suggests there is no surprise coming.At the same time, Speaker Mike Johnson is facing an internal revolt over expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies. Moderates in swing districts are desperate for a vote they can point to, even if it fails. Hardliners insist on abortion-related restrictions tied to the Hyde Amendment, and leadership is frozen. With discharge petitions circulating and Trump's own political strength under scrutiny, Johnson's power is only as strong as Trump's grip on the conference. Right now, that grip looks uncertain.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:23 - Susie Wiles in Vanity Fair00:04:49 - Kirk Bado on Susie Wiles00:35:30 - Update00:37:14 - Jobs Report00:39:43 - Trump's Primetime Address Announcement00:44:04 - Mike Johnson and the ACA00:50:37 - Kirk Bado on Nuzzi/Lizza and More01:13:57 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Unofficially announced yesterday, Rob Thomson will be back as the Phillies' Manager next season. The 94 WIP Morning Show is lukewarm on the decision- Joe DeCamara, Jon Ritchie, and James Seltzer are ok with it. Rhea Hughes wanted him out. Could there be a big Phillies contract traded- Ruben Amaro Jr. said over the weekend that he thinks so. Who could be it?

This week, we take a look at the details of the latest United Nations reform, the UN80 Initiative, which is designed to make the organization more efficient. Unofficially, it's also a move to convince the Trump administration not to cut U.N. funding even further. However, the initiative is unlikely to satisfy anyone. Meanwhile, China, the U.N.'s largest financial contributor, is pushing for a greater role at the organization, painting the U.S. as a threat to multilateralism. The country has been stepping up demands for more jobs at the institution for Chinese nationals. We also discuss how emerging donors are reshaping the aid landscape, blending commercial aims with development goals in ways that look different from traditional partners. As Western aid recedes, their rise brings new resources, priorities, and trade-offs. To analyze these stories, and others, Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger sits down with Business Editor David Ainsworth and Senior Global Reporter Colum Lynch for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

The Human Cost of the Delphi Case: Kathy Allen Speaks Out Richard Allen's conviction in the Delphi murders didn't just send him to prison — it sent him hundreds of miles away, to Oklahoma, far from his wife and legal team. Officially, prison transfers happen for many reasons. Unofficially, they can make mounting an appeal much harder. In this conversation, we focus on Kathy Allen — the woman who's been cut off from her husband for years, who appeared in the recent documentary to humanize a man many have already condemned. Defense attorney Bob Motta explains why she was never called to testify, and why he believes her presence could have made a difference in the jury's perception. This is the human side of the Delphi case — the part where the legal fight intersects with personal loss, where strategy meets heartbreak, and where the ripple effects of a conviction extend far beyond the defendant. #DelphiMurders #KathyAllen #RichardAllen #PrisonTransfer #TrueCrime #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #AppealProcess #BobMotta #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

India's buying cheap Russian oil. Trump's not happy. And now he's slapped 50% tariffs on Indian goods. Officially, it's about funding Russia's war machine. Unofficially? It might be about one man's ego, a Nobel Peace Prize dream, and India refusing to play along. From the MEA's unusually sharp statement to the PM's vow to "pay any price to protect farmers," we unpack the real stakes amid the India-US showdown over tariffs. - Is India's "multi-alignment" foreign policy reaching breaking point? - Why agriculture is a red line in India-US trade talks. - How diplomats handle unpredictable leaders like Donald Trump. - The shift in India's diplomatic tone - and why a career diplomat as EAM matters. - Will India hit back with counter-tariffs or play the long game? Veteran national security journalist Sandeep Unnithan joins host Dev Goswami to decode this latest round of diplomatic warfare -- from South Block's air-conditioned strategy rooms to the high-stakes oil politics of Moscow and Washington.

Toronto boasts a fascinating craft brewing scene, and the latest edition has a unique angle.

Same Swamp, Different BroodThe DC Madam & the Secret That Still HumsClose your eyes: DC, late ‘90s into the 2000s. Suits at the Mayflower, steakhouse hush-hush deals on K Street, the kind of power that smells like dry-cleaned wool, stale cigars, and cheap cologne. There was no Tinder. No casual fling on a swipe. If you wanted vice, you went through the shadows — or you called Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the DC Madam.She didn't run some back-alley hustle. Pamela Martin & Associates was an escort network for the capital's respectable sinners: contractors, agency lifers, moralists with Bible verses on their lapels. Palfrey kept her insurance policy — a spiral notebook stuffed with names, numbers, and notes that could melt marble. The Black Book.She told the feds: If I go down, I take them with me. A threat like that should've cracked the swamp wide open. For a moment, it did. Randall Tobias — Bush's AIDS czar — out. Senator David Vitter — Mr. Family Values — outed, then forgiven by his base because, well, power forgives itself.But that was it. The machine dribbled out just enough names to keep the wolves fed, then buried the rest. The notebook vanished into sealed court files. And Palfrey? She swore to reporters she'd never kill herself. In 2008, they found her hanging in her mother's shed. Officially: suicide. Unofficially: she was the prototype for “Epstein didn't kill himself” a decade before Epstein was the punchline.That's the pattern: every so often, like a cicada brood clawing up through swamp mud, the black book returns. New names, new rumors. But the roots never get pulled. Epstein was the next cycle — kids instead of consenting adults, island flights instead of Mayflower hotel rooms, rumored Mossad cameras instead of a battered flip phone. The same cycle: names teased, a few low-levels tossed to the mob, the real ringmasters vanish behind sealed files.We like to think the moral panic back then was quaint — grown men sweating bullets over consenting sex work when now you can hook up on an app before your third cocktail. But the real taboo still stands: the blackmail, the kompromat, the buried evidence that would show just how much the moral scolds and law-and-order saints have always been the filthiest ones in the room.Pam Bondi teases Epstein files. Cash Patel shrugs there's no list. Elon Musk huffs about betrayal. The base fumes: Where's the list? They'll be fuming decades from now, too. Because the truth is, you're not on the team that gets to read it.Once, an escort scandal nearly cracked the Capitol. Now, even child trafficking by billionaires fizzles out behind a security badge and a sleepy courthouse clerk. Same secrets. Same hush. Same swamp.You feel that hum? It's the cicadas. They'll be back. The black book always comes back. The swamp always hums.It's not the scandal that ever dies — it's your hope that this time, the list might actually matter.

In Episode 121 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, Angie Sparks and Mike Zaccheo recap a packed week of travel news, personal updates, and a deep dive into the recent "Magnificent Miles Meetup" in Chicago. They highlight a popular Facebook post comparing Andaz Maui and HR Maui, with opinions divided based on points cost and who's traveling with you. News-wise, they cover Hawaiian Airlines parting ways with Amex, a Citi to Wyndham 25% transfer bonus, Flying Blue dropping Delta award prices for 2026, and Aeroplan offering a 90% bonus on purchased points. Angie shared she's cutting back on card applications after a denial, while Mike celebrated scoring a 100k Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus.The main topic focused on the Chicago meetup, where despite weather and travel delays, most attendees made it thanks to their seasoned travel skills. Angie and Mike flew on AA (via Alaska for Mike), and stayed at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, using points and benefits like GOH awards and club access. Formal events included a Friday rooftop reception, Saturday learning sessions from travel experts, and a custom improv comedy show Saturday night. Unofficially, attendees self-organized through a Messenger chat for cruises, walking tours, karaoke, and hotel lobby meetups. Looking ahead, a fall meetup is planned with early access for their AT201 group and expanded capacity expected. Their takeaway tip?

Ana from Arizona shares her curious experiences growing up in a house that, while not officially haunted, certainly had its share of strange occurrences. From a mysterious figure in a white suit walking past her window to a night when the TV and every light in the house were turned on with no explanation, Ana recalls moments that defied logic. The creepiest of all? A deep, ghostly “shh” that echoed through the house when her dad was away, despite no one else being there. While nothing ever felt threatening, these unexplained events have stayed with Ana, leaving her with more questions than answers.

Ep. 845 - And with the 16th overall pick, the Arizona Cardinals select (fill in the blank). Well, we'll know soon enough. Officially, in three months. Unofficially, let the speculation begin. In other words, time to mock draft. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah, two of the prominent voices this time of year, released their first mock drafts. Craig Grialou and Darren Urban, who loves his mock drafts, breakdown who was mocked to the Cardinals. Also, the guys discuss the Dallas Cowboys' reported interest in offensive line coach Klayton Adams, the rise within the front office ranks of former Cardinals wide receiver (and Scottsdale Chaparral high alum) Darren Mougey, as well as their takeaways from Championship Sunday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lots of leaks this episode, as Mike, Paul, and Colleen diagnose a leaky strut, a defroster that's not working, a leaking brake system, and more. Send your questions to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to get on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full notes below: Greg has a Cherokee with a leaky strut. His mechanic suggested pressurizing it with shop air instead of nitrogen. He asks about Granville Strut Seal. Mike said he has a big success rate with Granville, and that he should definitely use it on all the struts. He disagrees with Greg's mechanic that shop air is ok to use to fill a strut. The reason to use nitrogen is to avoid corrosion inside the strut because shop air has moisture in it. The air valve in the top of the strut is probably where his air is leaking from. Jim has a Mooney M20C and the defroster ducting is falling apart. He's wondering how to replace it. They recommend taking out the glareshieild, grabbing out the tubing, and buying a new one from Lasar or the factory. The existing one might be repairable with epoxy or new fiberglass pieces. Paul cautions that it's possible something won't work after he gets it all back together. Mike thinks it's almost not worth fixing because of the complications in that tight of a space. Andy is trying to understand the carb ice potential of the Cessna with an O-300 that he's flying. He's heard it's very prone to icing, and the carb temperature gauge shows it's almost always in the yellow. To stay out of the yellow he would need to fly with the carb heat on almost all the time. Mike said the extreme dryness in a Minnesota winter would make carb ice unlikely. Nick has a few questions about his 182. He's first wondering when to replace the battery. Mike said that the way to check is an annual capacity check, and there's an official and unofficial way to do it. The official way is to buy a capacity checking instrument, but that's expensive. First fully charge the battery, then time how long it takes to go down to a certain level. If it gets below a certain ampere-hour rating, it's time to replace it. Unofficially you can draw current in the airplane and see how long it takes to draw down. But the act of the capacity check seems hard on the battery, according to Mike. Paul said Concorde has told him it's not an issue, and that checking them doesn't damage anything. Nick's second question deals with the brakes. When he bought the airplane he saw in the logbooks that they were being rebuilt once a year. He changed out the master cylinder, the flexible line, the o-rings, and he blew out the line. It's better, but he still has to occasionally fill the reservoir. Paul suggests checking the line near the calipers. If it's a solid tube, he said it's possible that fluid can work it's way back up the system. He suggests leaving a rag wrapped around the top of the reservoir and fly to check if that's where the fluid is coming from.

The number of people who have listened to all 400+ episodes of The Copywriter Club is likely small. Probably fewer than 100. But today's guest on The Copywriter Club Podcast is trying to add to that number. Copywriter Lauren Esmay has been listening to every episode and posting about them on LinkedIn. We talked about that as well as how she's built her business over the past few years and what's coming next. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: The P7 Client Attraction System The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh: In the next couple of weeks we'll post the official 400th episode of this podcast. Unofficially we're already past that number as we've had a handful of un-numbered episodes posted between the official one. If you were going to listen to every episode, I estimate it would take you about 14 days or so without stopping to eat, sleep or do anything else. I'm not suggesting you do that… but I'm not NOT suggesting that you do it either. Hi, I'm Rob Marsh, one of the founders of The Copywriter Club. And on today's episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, Kira Hug and I interviewed copywriter Lauren Esmay. Lauren recently took it upon herself to listen to every episode of this podcast and she's been posting her take aways from each episode on LinkedIn. Looking back on what she shares has reminded me of a lot of great, forgotten advice and ideas and insights shared by so many smart copywriters over the years. And as you'll see as you listen to today's episode, Lauren has used this content tactic to connect with a who's who of experts in the copy and marketing world. That's not all we talked about, so stick around to here more about Lauren's story. Before we jump into the interview, you know I'm going to talk a bit about the best copywriter community The Copywriter Underground. We are working hard to make it the most valuable copywriting community and training vault available anywhere. So we're constantly adding the latest information and help for our members. One thing that has changed recently is the standard Google, Yahoo and other big emailers are using to determine where the email you send ends up. Sometimes that's the inbox. Sometimes it's the spam or promotions folders. And sometimes they decide not to send your email at all. It's true. You hit send, your email service provider sends your message out into the ether… and Google can simply decide that's as far as it goes. So we've invited email deliverability specialist Matt Brown to share with the members of The Copywriter Underground exactly what you need to do to make sure that doesn't happen to you… or your clients. It's happening this month… June 2024. And if you want the latest insights on how to make sure your work hits the inbox, you need to be in this masterclass. We've shared some information about it along with all of the other benefits you get as a Copywriter Underground member at thecopywriterclub.com/tcu. Let me just add that if you know this stuff that Matt will be sharing, you'll be a much more valuable resource for your clients than a copywriter who just writes up some emails and hands over a google doc full of copy. In fact, if you add the skills Matt will be teaching to your services, you'll be more likely to land good, high-paying email clients on long retainers than if you just write emails. Join us at thecopywriterclub.com/tcu. And with that, let's go to our interview with Lauren. Kira Hug: Lauren, how did you get started as a copywriter? Lauren Esmay: So first, thanks for having me. My way into copywriting is much like many other people I've talked to. There was no linear path. I have several degrees in psychology and I went to med school for a bit. I did a lot of different things that I'm just like, I know I want to help people and this is how I'm going to show up.
