Podcasts about Unsung

Author Mark Beatty joins to explore three Victorians who shaped their era in very different ways yet rarely get the spotlight. We trace Grace Darling's 1838 sea rescue and the birth of tabloid celebrity; Josephine Butler's fearless campaign against the Contagious Diseases Acts and for raising the age of consent; and George Biddell Airy's half-century as Astronomer Royal, standardising Greenwich Mean Time for a world on the move. It's a conversation about media, morality, science, empire—and how private grief and public purpose can collide.Mark's trilogy on Darling, Butler and Airy is out now.

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall take a deep dive (ha) into the world of post Pearl Harbor salvage operations. The effort to get the Navy's battleships off the harbor bottom and back into the war was truly monumental. A gargantuan effort that began on December 7, 1941 and didn't end until months later. The guys go into the stories of rescue and survival aboard USS Oklahoma and then get into the salvage efforts of each of the battleships in the harbor, ending with the titanic effort to salvage USS West Virginia. Unsung heroes, both civilian and military, factor into this story, so make sure you check this one out! #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara #johnford #hollywood #fdr #president #roosevelt #doolittle #doolittleraid #pearlharborattack

Kimberly Warner is a filmmaker, author, and patient advocate whose work explores what it means to live fully in a body that doesn't always feel well. After studying pre-med and biology at Colorado College and pursuing graduate training in naturopathic and classical Chinese medicine, she veered from a clinical path toward a creative one, trading diagnostics for documentary and turning questions of health into stories of meaning. After developing a rare neurological disorder in 2015, Kimberly turned her artistic focus inward, embracing stillness, intimacy, and relationship as the foundation of her work. In 2019, she launched Unfixed, a media project that now includes award-winning films, limited series, podcasts, memoirs, and live roundtables. Her work has been recognized by PBS, Harvard Medical School, and the Invisible Disabilities Association, among others. Kimberly leads a larger advocacy role within the chronic illness community where she writes and speaks about her own patient experience. She is a member of the Global Advocacy Alliance, the PPAA (Patient and Physician Advocacy Alliance,) is a visiting faculty member with Global Genes, helped create a Course for Clinical Confidence—a medical school certificate course, is on the editorial board of the Journal of Health Design and is an ambassador for VeDA. She is also Life on the Level's Best International Contribution Award, Rainbow Advocacy's Most Innovative Storytelling Award, and the recipient of the Invisible Disabilities Association's Media Impact Award. Her forthcoming memoir, Unfixed: A Memoir of Family, Mystery, and the Currents That Carry You Home, will be published by Empress Editions in October 2025. She lives in rural Oregon with her husband, David, where they tend their small farm between creative projects. When she's not editing films, harvesting calendula, or writing for her beloved Substack audience, she's practicing what she preaches: loosening her grip, staying curious, and letting uncertainty become a place of peace.

We're back after a fairly shambolic three weeks in our lives (redundancy sure does suck) with this slice of fried gold from the 1980s. You've almost certainly heard the lead single from this record. In fact, the question as to who the singer is of the song "The Warrior" has quite likely come up on a pub quiz at some point, and you've quite likely got the answer wrong. The answer is not, as you may think, Pat Benetar. It's Patty Smyth. The single this album is named after was an 80s hit, and penned by the legendary Holly Knight. We won't go into a huge amount of detail on her here, but suffice to say we think she's criminally underrated given some of the ginormous tunes she penned in the 80s. Indeed, we cover that in extensive detail in our episode on her short-lived band Device. Scandal imploded soon after this record was released, and members of the band, Patty included, went on to have varying degrees of success in the late 80s and early 90s. Patty Smyth's story itself is a fascinating one, so fascinating in fact that we actually forgot to talk all about her marriage to Television's Richard Hell. That one glaring omission aside, we do a pretty deep dive into Scandal and her career afterwards.

How do I move forward in life without any queer representation in my life?Today we meet Troy Ford and we're talking about the queer book that saved his life: The Hobbit by J.R.R. TolkienTroy Ford is an author and editor, and the publisher of two popular newsletters: the writing-focused Ford Knows Books, and Qstack, an LGBTQIA+ Directory, Platform, and Community of newsletter writers and readers on Substack. His debut novel, Lamb, released in June 2025. Unsung, his short film with co-director Kimberly Warner of Unfixed Media, received the OurPride 2025 Innovative Storytelling Award. A native Californian, he grew up overseas in the Middle East and eventually settled in the San Francisco-Bay Area where he earned a B.A. in Rhetoric from UC Berkeley. Since 2019, he has lived in Sitges, Spain with his husband and AmStaff Terrier.In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.J.R.R. Tolkien was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over sixty languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.Connect with Troysubstack: troyford.substack.comwebsite: troyfordauthor.combluesky: @mrtroyfordauthor.bsky.socialinstagram: @mrtroyfordauthorOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy The Hobbit: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780547928227Buy Lamb: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9798992613810Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Episode: 2507 The Unsung Engineer: The Mechanical Arts in Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie.  Today, celebrating the mechanical arts.

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh opened their show by breaking down the Cubs' 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday and the White Sox's 6-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Later, they held the Pick 6 segment, where they debated the top sports stories of the day.

He's a Denver Broncos original who was a game changer even though he avoided the spotlight. From player to coach, we remember Lionel Taylor. Also, the influence of James Dobson on today's Conservative Christian movement following the evangelical leader's death. Plus, Manitou Springs grapples with the changing cannabis market in El Paso County. Then, Chandra shares her personal family story surviving Hurricane Katrina 20 years later. Finally, a college degree in Mariachi music, and the origin of the People's Republic of Boulder. 

In this lively episode of Mark and Pete, the duo tackle three curious tales from the worlds of culture, politics, and everyday life. First up: the passing of Ronnie Rondell Jnr, the Hollywood stuntman who made others famous while remaining largely unknown. From being set alight on the cover of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here to crashing through scenes in Batman and Robin and The Mighty Ducks, his life sparks reflection on the unsung heroes who risk everything but rarely get the applause. Next, the Tesco Meal Deal — a staple of students and low-income workers alike — has crept up in price once again. That 25p rise may sound small, but it's a big bite out of already-stretched budgets. Mark and Pete chew over what this means for ordinary folk, and whether it's time to rediscover thriftier ways of feeding body and soul. Finally, we turn to the world of politics and pixels: Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Volodymyr Zelensky appeared in a viral “Oval Office” photo looking like schoolboys in trouble — until the phantom foot gave away its AI origins. What happens when fake images shape real perceptions?

In this episode, Ralph and Luc take a respite from the US' current denialist frenzy and step back to celebrate recent global victories in the fight to preserve our environment.Since the climate does not follow national borders, we spotlight some news from around the world that gives us hope: the popular clamor for governments to tackle climate change, the newly favourable economics of renewable energy, alongside initiatives by cities, states and nations to foster a more livable planet.You can also watch this episode on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07a5_iLo83MChapters:00:00 Introduction1:46 How the Republican party lost their minds on climate and might kill us all3:53 Good news: Environmentalism is Popular!6:54 Local initiatives in CA, FL7:43 Cities are becoming greener and more walkable10:45 Climate reparations: Vanuatu's win at the ICJ12:12 Solar energy is much cheaper than a decade ago16:18 Wind power provides jobs in "red" states17:38 Worldwide adoption of renewables19:50 2024's big picture gains for renewable power21:08 Research & Development: harnessing innovation22:26 Staying hopeful: Why Ralph doesn't like "optimism"Sources:• International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) report “Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2023”, September 2024.• Washington Post, “Paris said au revoir to cars.

No producer or director of the 40s and 50s set out to make a film noir. They were simply trying to put together a film that would entertain and turn a profit, dammit! During the 40s and early 50s, TV was a non-entity or a new, expensive element in entertainment --- there was no competition for the 25 cents someone spent every week going to the movies. Consequently, the output of Hollywood was prodigious and many films noir, if not viewed through a modern lens, were simply “B” pictures, inexpensive work that was part of a double bill. The genre film noir encompasses many forms of 40s and 50s stories on its shadowed and fatalistic way… Melodramas. Crimers. Caper films. Heist movies. Police procedurals. Bad girl stories. Gangster films. Detective tales. Many of these films were inexpensive and thus, not worthy of notice or subtle categorization. They were “B”s. But some of the original and most impactful of the film noir genre were low-cost films imbued with the imagination, technical aptitude, and drive of their creators to transcend the double bill. They're a credit to the people who worked to put forward the best story possible, regardless of the constraints of budget. Unsung heroes. So, we're going to warm up the new season with a few of the under-funded “B” pictures that stood noir up on its legs and paved the way for more sumptuous, but no more impactful productions. We're going to start with an orphan of Poverty Row filmmaking, from the fabulous Producers Releasing Corporation, fresh from the war, 1945's Detour, directed by Edgar Ulmer and with a twosome at the top of the cast who made your hair curl with fatalism and dread. Noir enough for you? The tale begins in 1939 during the heyday of pulp magazines and their oeuvre, with a novel by Martin Goldsmith, titled Detour: An Extraordinary Tale.

We finish up Issue 63 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd with a Spotlight episode. We're talking about the great Steven Spielberg, but focusing on two of his less-celebrated films which we both love. Duel was the film that broke him out of his TV job into his illustrious career as a film director, and A.I. is the project he inherited from Stanley Kubrick and which time has proven to be one of his best.   The other parts of this issue are already available to download - Double Reel Monthly, Classics and Hidden Gems and the Remakes Tribunal. Issue 64 will be with you from August 25th.

The WIP Midday Show has spent most of their show today talking about Tanner McKee's standout performance. But now it's time to look some of the other unsung standouts from yesterday's game to give a look at who to watch the rest of the preseason and training camp.

Here's another quickie for you, only a half hour long. It seems not only are the portions at fast-food chains shrinking, so are the CHP episodes. Thanks to a team of amateur historians, WWII enthusiasts, and survivors, this interesting tale can now be told. It concerns a forgotten man named Mr. Lam Ping Yu 林炳堯, who left behind a WWII diary from 1944 that was rediscovered by chance in 2015. I hope you'll enjoy this story.

Like us, are you somewhat uncomfortable of about Pantera playing with Metallica? Why exactly might that be? We need to explore what it is about Phil Anselmo that gives people that icky feeling. This week we try to put some meat on the bones about the rumours that have dogged Anselmo for the last three decades of his career. White supremacist? Racist? Just a bit of a steamer?  What is it about this guy that has gotten him this reputation? Is it merited? And if it is merited, do we have any sort of obligation to act on that? The Pattern of Behaviour It's an issue that's dogged Phil throughout his career, but came into sharp focus at the conclusion of the Dimebash concert in 2016. The thing is though, focusing too much on that fiasco is that it allows flimsy and bad faith justifications. Too much alcohol is one. "Oh, he was just trolling" is another. They've been fairly successfully passed off as excuses for not just his misdeeds that night, but his behaviour more generally. That smokescreen has enabled millions of paying Pantera fans to handwave away the evidence of their own eyes and ears. Denial is a powerful thing, especially when a band is so intrinsically tied up in the carefully guarded nostalgia of countless nineties teenhoods. Anselmo's history with white supremacist rhetoric and imagery goes back a long way. It's been scattered, downplayed, obfuscated to such an extent that it's easy to lose track. We gather all those details in one place so you can make better informed decisions about where you spend your money and what sort of behaviour we seek to excuse on literally the biggest of the world's stages.

[2025 Addendum….sorry for the long-winded] Our second of three reruns which we're releasing for July, and second of three reruns celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and the second of three of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”)  series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself (as well as any other shows which have elected to join us in the time since my drafting this on July 2nd) is just one of, this time, four contributions we made to the series that year. I'll share links to the other three below, as well as two other bonus links which are acutely relevant to two of them (as well as to C1E96, our “fresh episode” from last month). The Theme of 2023's MoVGM was sort of the opposite of the year prior. 2022's theme was a celebration of “big named composers”, like Yuzo Koshiro or Nobuo Uematsu, or The Follin Brothers and so on. Names that probably EVERYBODY already knows, 2023's theme was “unsung and undersung composers”. Names that were not nearly as well-known as they should be. And so, our Channel 2 contribution followed the same format and design philosophy of our 2022, only with the opposite theme. It's a little longer, though, because in addition to the same “four and four” as before, we added a ninth and final pair - tracks by unknown composers”. Production notes on this episode relative to the 2022 rerun: by this time, two major changes had happened: 1) I had upgraded from the $100 RODE Podmic I had been using to the current $400 Shure SM7B that I use today, and 2) I had started actively editing out “Umm”s from our conversation. I can't guarantee that I caught every single one of them. But they'll certainly be much less present and much less invasive. It still won't rise to the level of a 2025 production (and sounds a little worse with the SM7B's presence boost turned on at the time, which I've since turned off), but it comes appreciably closer than C2E8.

Jimmy Failla is on vacation, so we went to the Fox Across America rolodex and gave a call to former Utah Congressman and host of the “Jason In The House” podcast Jason Chaffetz. Jason welcomes in our brand-new affiliate, WBEN in Buffalo, and then reacts to the Senate narrowly advancing President Trump's “one, big beautiful bill.” Jason then is joined by Kentucky Republican Congressman and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who provides an update on his investigation into former President Biden's use of an autopen. Former GOP National Spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko explains why she is disappointed but not surprised by the rise of Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party's nominee for New York City Mayor. Retired US Navy SEAL officer Mike Sarraille discusses his Fox Nation special, "The Unsung of Arlington." Former Acting ICE Director Jonathan Fahey shares his thoughts on “Alligator Alcatraz”, the new immigration detention camp in Florida's Everglades that is surrounded by gators. Indiana Republican Congresswoman Victoria Spartz gives her take on when the $3.3 trillion megabill will ultimately end up on Trump's desk. Campus Reform reporter sheds light on what's driving the rise in patriotism among Gen Z Americans.

In 2003, Keith Richard—an accomplished logistics expert with no military background—made a decision that would forever alter the course of his life. Tasked with leading a rapidly mobilized operation to deliver critical fuel and supplies to U.S. military forces in Iraq and Kuwait, Richard stepped into a war zone as a civilian leader, navigating a role typically reserved for seasoned military personnel.Thrust into the chaos of war, Richard had to rely on sheer discipline, unshakable grit, and calm resolve to guide both his team and himself. The job was unrelenting—issuing orders that sent unarmed civilian truck drivers into hostile territory, often with no guarantee of return.“Civilians are the unsung heroes of the Iraq War and should be recognized for their patriotism and commitment to support the military,” Richard reflects.In his gripping new memoir, Sand, Grit and Dangerous Supply Missions: The Unsung Civilian Heroes of the Iraq War, Richard recounts his extraordinary journey with humility and raw honesty. From modest beginnings along Mississippi's Gulf Coast to directing a multibillion-dollar logistics campaign in the Middle East, he shares the unseen sacrifices made by thousands of civilian contractors during wartime on this episode of the Security Clearance Careers podcast.

We've had in the past devotee appreciation days. We call them D.A.D. — Devotee Appreciation Day. We did it for maybe four years, and by the fourth year, I remember driving home and saying to Nirākulā, "How do you feel?" She said, "Alright." And I said, "Well, I don't feel quite right." We felt some anxiety. As we discussed it more, we realized that we were both feeling some anxiety, and we were able, finally, by Krishna's giving us intelligence, to understand what it was. We couldn't say enough about the devotees, although we tried. For those of you who were there during those times, the D.A.D.s, everyone would try. Some, the overachievers in our group, which is 99% of the population, would get up and try to exalt as many devotees as they could. In fact, in those days, it might have even been possible for the valedictorian, the 1600-SAT-type person, to think of everybody and say something about each one. But it was rare and hard, and for those of us who are not so capable, it seemed like "a dwarf," as Prabhupāda sometimes said, "reaching for the moon." Somehow, we felt unfulfilled that we weren't able to say enough. Or maybe that feeling when we fell asleep at night, we woke up at one in the morning and thought, "Oh, I missed somebody!" And it made us realize that it's not possible to fully express our gratitude to the devotees for their association. I'm saying for everyone involved, because I know other devotees felt like that, too. But we can express our gratitude to one another by holding space the way we've been asked to by Krishna and our spiritual masters: to show up for our services and set an example for others. And whenever we have the opportunity, when it comes naturally, to fully express, or as far as possible, express our gratitude to the devotees. (excerpt from HG Vaisesika Dasa's talk) We were in the U.K., and I was asked to speak with Jāhnavī Jīvana's mom, and who many of you have met, Guru Charaṇa Padmā. She's a lovely devotee. And we were talking about the six loving exchanges, and one realization I had was that a loving exchange can be something like, which was really valuable to me, was giving gifts and giving the gift of service to someone. I remember the devotees who have given me service, and it's a gift that, you know, as they say, keeps on giving. So, as you know, we have so many devotees that have been here for decades, and we're welcoming soon, so many new faces. Let's open our hearts to them as well and make them feel as loved and supported and appreciated and valued as we all feel for the devotees we know really well. And if we have some service that we can give to them, do it. It's the biggest gift that you can give to someone, because, you know, what's the saying? “Your sevā will save you." I'm sure all of you have experienced that somewhere in your lives already. I know we have, I continue to experience that. So, if you have the opportunity to encourage someone, especially someone new to the community, please, please do it. Let them feel the completeness, the acceptance, the care that we all give to each other who we've known for so long. That's one of the most valuable things that we have as a family and a community.

In this episode of DISCovering You, Victoria and Heather dive into the often-overlooked low DISC factors—the behaviors and traits that fall below the midline on a DISC assessment. While most discussions focus on high DISC traits (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Compliance), Victoria explains how the low end of each scale holds just as much insight into personality, communication, and team dynamics. The conversation explores how low traits manifest differently than their high counterparts, challenging the assumption that “high is better.” Using personality models like Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies and the Enneagram, Victoria draws rich comparisons to deepen understanding. Whether you're a DISC nerd or DISC newbie, this episode will help you see yourself—and others—with more clarity and compassion.Timestamps & Topics[00:00:00] Welcome & Emoji IcebreakerVictoria and Heather kick off with their current moods, a discussion about emoji use, and how emojis could represent DISC types.[00:06:00] Introduction to Low DISC FactorsWhy low scores on the DISC profile matter, and how they reveal different—but equally valid—personality tendencies.[00:08:00] Low DTraits: Patient, accommodating, consultative.Comparisons: Obliger (Four Tendencies), Peacemaker (Enneagram 9).Misconception: Low D doesn't mean unmotivated.[00:12:00] Low ITraits: Analytical, decision-making based on facts, not feelings.Comparisons: Upholder (Four Tendencies), Loyalist/Skeptic (Enneagram 6).Misconception: Low I doesn't mean unfriendly.[00:14:00] Low STraits: Fast-paced, multitasking, comfortable with change.Comparisons: Questioner (Four Tendencies), Enthusiast (Enneagram 7).Bonus: A fun tap/clap pace exercise to illustrate energy differences.[00:17:00] Low CTraits: Risk-taking, rule-bending, freedom-focused.Comparisons: Rebel (Four Tendencies), Challenger (Enneagram 8).Misconception: Low C isn't careless—it's innovative.[00:20:00] Key Takeaways & Wrap-UpUnderstanding low traits brings depth to team-building, communication, and self-awareness.[00:21:00] Announcements & Contact InfoInfo on coaching, team sessions, and the podcast's summer break.“We don't improve our profiles—we lean into them, learn about them, recognize our challenges, and leverage our strengths.”If you're interested in learning more about team building, coaching, strategic hiring and onboarding, let's connect!discoverwhatworks@gmail.comhttps://pod.link/1614071253https://discoverwhatworks.org/https://www.facebook.com/VictoriaDISChttps://www.instagram.com/discoverwhatworks/https://www.linkedin.com/in/discoverwhatworks

Tsvetta Kaleynska gives investors an overview of the retail picture and where it stands as tariffs paint an uncertain background. While she notes companies like Target (TGT) facing numerous headwinds, it's not the same across the industry. Tsvetta considers Walmart (WMT) a favorite due to its fortress-like balance sheet backed by an acquisition she believes went unnoticed by investors. She also likes Amazon (AMZN) due to its high exposure in A.I. Tom White offers example options trades for Walmart and Amazon. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this ep you're about to hear from the ONLY Australian boxer to have achieved #1 ranking in the world pound for pound! This year (2025) our girl, Diana Prazak, was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and given these incredible (and under-celebrated) accolades I'm here to make some noise. Fun fact... Diana was the main event at the first pro boxing fight I attended back in 2014, fighting the tough-as-nails opponent Shotgun Shannon O'Connell (former guest on the show). What a fight! We talked about her unexpected (and late) entry into boxing, her rise to number one in the world, and how she stayed grounded despite getting little recognition from back home. Diana doesn’t hold back. She shared the raw truth about what it took to keep showing up in a sport that gave her everything and nothing at the same time. We got into the reality of being a woman in boxing, what it means to fight through trauma, and how she’s now using her story to help others, especially young people who need it most. This is one for the underdogs, and just the kind of story that inspires the sh*t out of me... I hope you enjoy it just as much.

For many Americans, Memorial Day holds multiple meanings—the arrival of summer and its seasonal delights can sometimes overshadow its true significance, yet ceremonies and parades across the nation honor our nation's fallen heroes. For families of those fallen, Memorial Day is not contained to just one day. Bonnie Carroll is a retired Air Force Reserve Major and founder of the TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors), and she joins the Rundown to share how her organization supports grieving military families year-round. This Memorial Day, we commemorate eighty years since the end of World War II and remember the sacrifices made for freedom. Robert Edsel, author of Remember Us: American Sacrifice, Dutch Freedom, and Forever Promise Forged in World War Two, joins to discuss his new book and what the holiday means for Americans.

Memorial Day means mowing the lawn and grilling – while you're outside we've got a company to keep in mind and a few CEOs worth watching. (0:21): Jason Moser and Bill Mann discuss: - What Jony Ive and Sam Altman are cooking up for hardware with OpenAI and io. - MercadoLibre's founder and CEO Marcos Galperin stepping down, and the unsung CEOs that should be getting more love. - Target's continued retail woes, and how Home Depot and Lowe's are holding up until the macro tailwinds return. (19:11) With summer officially kicking off, we thought it was a good time to catch up with Trex CEO Bryan Fairbanks. Motley Fool analysts Andy Cross and Sanmeet Deo caught up with Fairbanks about the war on wood decks, how the company is handling tariffs, and why he expects business to boom as the macro picture clears up.

Today I am joined by my friend and fellow podcaster Brock Bevelle. Hes a retired police officer and a man in long term sobriety from opioid addiction. He also manages the Tiktok and IG accounts called @Fentanylprojectaz where he interviews people on the street in active addiction. We are going to talk about what its like to be in long term sobriety and actually get into some of our dark addiction stories that keep us sober that we dont normally talk about. I also wanted to bring awareness to Brocks work where he is actually in the streets trying to help people kick fentanyl addiction. He offers basics like hygiene kits, sunscreen, and water, but he also offers emotional and recovery resources. Not only that, he is literally saving lives on a regular basis. There are many videos on Tiktok where he Narcans people who are actively overdosing. Its heartbreaking, but also so inspiring to watch as he gives hope to so many people. The main reason I wanted to talk with Brock again is because I wanted to find out how we as a community can support people like him who are on the streets every day. If you are inspired by Brocks work and you feel called to help, Ill encourage you to send him some supplies through his amazon link. Ill leave it in the show notes at odaatchat.com, or you can also find it on IG and Tiktok under @fentanylprojectaz So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think! =J
