Howdy & aloha! We are HERE, you are THERE, and you're now rockin' with the best!This episode goes belly to belly

In this episode of The Confab, Max sits down with Barry (Podhome) and ChadF to chart where independent podcasting is headed and why Podcasting 2.0 still matters. They dig into keeping speech free via open RSS, the practical trade-offs of centralized platforms, and how value-for-value actually works in the wild—from Lightning boosts to Monero tips, funding tags and fiat donation pages. Barry shares Podhome's ethos (don't deplatform lawful speech), its all‑in features for creators, and what's next on the product roadmap. ChadF traces the lineage from No Agenda to today's Podcast Index, explains the messy reality of wallets, Keysend vs LNURL, and why onboarding listeners is the real nut to crack. Max, Barry and ChadF also cover chapters and artwork as creative glue, treating your show like a business without expecting it to pay the bills, and why word‑of‑mouth still grows the best shows. If you were ever wanting to start a podcast, then there's some really good advice to get going.ChadF closes with his recent “vibe coding” builds, including a self‑hosted music player for The Doerfels and his StableKraft app that curates value‑for‑value music into a proper listening experience—all pushing the open, independent future we want to see.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools DONATE TO THE FAMILIES ----> https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneSUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ---> https://billandkeonne.org/VALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 says: “Listen up! This episode of Unrelenting does not hold your hand, does not apologize, and does not slow down for anyone still buffering at 1x speed. Darren and Gene come out swinging with no prep, no script, and no mercy—ripping through Hollywood myths, AI insanity, podcasting delusions, streaming failures, and the slow cultural rot nobody else has the spine to call out. You will hear brutal honesty about AI replacing reality, OnlyFans eating Hollywood alive, why streaming ruins everything, and how modern media turned itself into a participation trophy factory. They tear apart: The Bobiverse, cryonics, AI minds, and digital immortality Why fashion is dead and everything is just recycled garbage How OnlyFans out-earned Hollywood without permission Why AM radio still works and most streamers don't The ugly truth behind podcasting, value-for-value, and fake engagement AI video ads, Grok, face-swapping scams, and why your brain isn't ready This is two hours of unfiltered conversation, long-form, unsanitized, and hostile to bad ideas. No clips. No trends. No sponsors whispering in ears. Just raw discussion, real laughs, and the kind of takes that get you shadow-banned if you don't already own your platform. If you want: Safe opinions Algorithm-approved thinking Bite-sized nonsense Stand down. This is not your show. If you want: Real talk Long-form chaos Media deconstruction with teeth Lock it in. Rip the knob off. This is Unrelenting.“ Unrelenting: where discipline means no mercy, no bullshit, and no excuses. Thanks for listening. Please support the show! –>> DONATE NOW

Frankenstein (2025) is Netflix's upcoming adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel, directed by Guillermo del Toro. In this video, we break down everything currently known about the 2025 Frankenstein movie, including story details, cast, themes, and how this version differs from past adaptations.Guillermo del Toro has described Frankenstein as a deeply personal project, focusing more on tragedy, obsession, and humanity than traditional horror. But with Netflix handling distribution and expectations already high, this adaptation faces serious pressure to stand apart from decades of Frankenstein movies.Donate Here - https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=Y6TSU94STL9PUAll our Links - https://direct.me/theundergroundWhat is our Value for Value System?Value for Value is a listener based business model where you determine the value our content is worth.

ChatGPT 5.1 says: “In this hard-hitting and hilariously honest episode of Randumb Thoughts, host Darren O'Neill tackles a wild mix of music legend tributes, live-performance controversies, skyrocketing electricity bills, social-media crackdowns, and a pair of unbelievable delivery-driver nightmares that could only happen in modern America. The show opens with a heartfelt look back at Raul Malo, the powerhouse vocalist of The Mavericks, whose passing leaves a void in the country-Americana world that no AI-generated voice could ever touch. Darren dives into Malo's remarkable vocal range, musical roots, and decades-long impact — a must-hear segment for fans of Roy Orbison, classic country, roots music, and real live performance. From there, things heat up as Darren breaks down the viral debate ignited by Dave Grohl:Is Taylor Swift actually singing at her concerts? Using audio analysis, machine-learning vocal isolation, and multiple tour recordings, Darren unpacks whether the world's biggest pop star is delivering a truly “live” experience — or a tightly-controlled, choreographed illusion. If you're into music production, audio engineering, live-show authenticity, or pop-culture controversies, this section is pure gold. Then the show jolts into the real world with a deep dive into why electricity bills are exploding across the United States, especially in Democrat-run states. Darren unpacks new data, state-level energy mandates, and the high-cost consequences of “green policy theater.” A must-listen for anyone frustrated by their rising utility costs or interested in energy policy, cost-of-living issues, and political accountability. And just when you think the insanity peaks… Darren drops two outrageous delivery-driver stories involving Jewel-Osco, Uber, Lou Malnati's, ID checks gone wrong, and frozen pizza that wasn't supposed to be frozen. If you enjoy real-life fails, consumer-service trainwrecks, and the absurdity of the gig-economy, you'll be laughing and shaking your head at the same time. Finally, Darren wraps up with a value-for-value thanks, holiday updates, and a reminder to appreciate every moment — especially the ones the algorithm can't steal from us.” Thanks for listening!

This week we discuss how democracy is never permanent - its cyclical - and where in the cycle we are now. We show how the bureaucratic blob is accelerating this cycle and how misplaced maternal instincts could also be to blame.  We are a value for value podcast so please consider supporting the channel with your time (liking, sharing and commenting on our content) OR by sending some treasure to us using the methods below: Send Bitcoin to: bc1qsv6j2xjkg9vcmp5f4slgt95xk5mekjvndcty25 Send Solana to: oDhxvLuvNxg8Pi4d9YHGgfnUw524AE1PKjb6iNuYJqS Send Ethereum or US Tether to: 0x035cc00A983c3ecfC99029bE859DF9DC746Ac867 If you haven't set up a Crypto Exchange yet you can use our link here: https://www.coinspot.com.au/join/WRFH5C

Click Here,Text Us,Get a Shout-Out next episode.This Episode recorded and rendered on Reaper DAW.Hit play on a cozy, candid ride through creative tinkering, 80s nostalgia, and the kind of gratitude that only grows after a hard season. We start in the studio where we stress-test a new workflow, recording in Reaper and Audacity at the same time to chase better sound without risking the show. That practical look at tools and trade-offs opens into a broader conversation about making independent media in a value-for-value world—keeping the feed free, leaning on community, and learning in public.From there we move to the table—Thanksgiving memories, a second quiet dinner at home, and a cat that insists on a cameo. Music threads it all together. We found WSQK, a Stranger Things–themed internet radio station that spins 80s tracks and sly story nods, and it turned into an all-day soundtrack. The nostalgia isn't just fun; it's a mood shaper. That sets up a timely dive into why singing helps your health, pulling from BBC reporting on reduced stress, steadier heart rate, group bonding, and the simple joy of joining in rather than just listening.We also chew on a science headline: the oldest sequenced RNA from a woolly mammoth calf frozen in Siberian permafrost. It's a fascinating claim that deserves both curiosity and caution, so we unpack what RNA can reveal, what speculation might overreach, and how to love science without surrendering our questions. The emotional center lands in a personal story of recovery after a 2019 stroke—losing speech, movement, everyday skills—and the slow return of strength through prayer, rehab, family, and time. Gratitude shifts from a holiday word to a lived practice, and that's the heartbeat carrying us forward.Want to be part of the flock? Share a thought, send a voicemail, or drop us a line.

In this video I reflect on my mentor Harry Browne, read his poignant letter to his daughter, and explain how Browne's central lesson—"no one owes you anything"—shaped my thinking and my book The Unchained Man. I break down the practical implications of that truth for relationships, business, and personal responsibility, showing how earning respect and offering real value (value-for-value) frees you from entitlement and leads to more durable happiness.

Click Here,Text Us,Get a Shout-Out next episode.A simple question sets the tone: what are you thankful for? We lean into the heart of Thanksgiving with real talk about gratitude, grief, and the quiet kind of joy that shows up even when life feels thin. From travel prayers to table rituals, we trace the holiday's roots across cultures and the way harvest traditions still whisper to us now. Faith makes an appearance, not as a lecture, but as an honest thanks to the Creator and an open invitation to anyone who needs a little hope this week.Then we turn the dial to the modern frontier: an AI country act called Breaking Rust climbing a digital chart. We break down the song's polish and the uncanny gap where breath should be, asking whether music needs human imperfection to feel true. Is chart success a mirror or smoke? Are follower counts inflated or earned? You'll hear a candid debate that balances curiosity with skepticism, and a clear call for your take. If you've listened to Walk My Walk, we want to know what you hear—and what you don't.Between the moments of reflection and the AI debate, we roll up our sleeves in the studio: rescuing old hardware with Linux Lite and Mint, running Umbrel for a home server, and stress-testing a Raspberry Pi for recording. It's a small stand for openness, tinkering, and making the most of what you have, rooted in the same value for value ethos that keeps our show free and listener-powered.

We have reached half a (MIL)estone so let's give it a half assed effort!In Episode #500 of 'Meanderings', Juan & I discuss: six years of podcasting, the origin story of why we originally started, stats and highlights across YouTube and audio, mishaps (spiders, dead mics, random street cameos), how our focus on value has changed over the years, community shout-outs (thanks for the surprise cake, Mum!), the lessons learned from interviews and long-form chats and why we've kept ads out of the show, what “doubling down” means for us, clearer topic lanes across our channels (tech, AI, books, art, fitness) and staying open, decentralised and listener-supported while the tech and monetisation landscape evolves.

Send us fan responses! The fastest way to lose your power is to give it away with your signature. We unpack how that happens every day—through forms, licenses, and registrations—and what it takes to reclaim control with private trusts, family covenants, and clear jurisdiction. From the opening beat, we ground the conversation in value-for-value boundaries, the reality that time is a resource, and why your name already functions like a business in the public.We walk through the practical effects of operating under a public trust tied to labor, then flip the lens to the private side: contracts, covenants, and family law that predate corporate governance. You'll hear how to think like a private family, not a public dependent; why nationality and allegiance matter; and how lineage, records, and tribal identity anchor your authority. We explore concrete steps: document your family story, keep internal agreements, and build entities that manage assets, disputes, and succession on your terms. Along the way, we preview our Atlanta training with trust attorneys, credit experts, and private practitioners teaching status correction, 508(c)(1)(a) structures, holding companies, offshore options, and grant strategy.Money talk gets real when it meets accounting. We break down why every debt is an account, how GAAP fundamentals protect you, and where contract law intersects with liability assignment, business credit, and lawful tax credits. You'll leave with a sharper map: when to stay private, when to interface with the public, and how to keep clean books that reflect intent, not chaos. If you've felt the gap between hard work and lasting wealth, this conversation connects the dots between structure, status, and legacy.Ready to operate with clarity and build a protected family enterprise?

What if the problem isn't your concrete, but how you run your business? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Seth Tandett talks with Tamson Omps, Director of Operations at Thomas Concrete, about how ready-mix producers can finally take control of their margins. Tamson lays out the seven areas that make or break profitability in the ready-mix business—from equipment maintenance and driver retention to scheduling and waste management. Whether you manage a single plant or oversee a regional operation, this episode gives you a practical, no-nonsense look at what's actually driving your profits (and losses) today. What You'll Learn • Why does Tamson say “we don't sell concrete—we sell truck space”? • What simple maintenance strategy can save thousands in downtime? • How can ready-mix companies cut driver turnover by focusing on the right incentives? • What's the real cost of a truck sitting on the jobsite? • How does batching setup and admixture sequencing impact load times and profit? • What can schedulers do to eliminate wasted hours in the yard? • How can waste and return concrete be turned into an extra revenue stream?

Mass timber is often promoted as faster, cheaper, and greener—but does it really hold up against concrete? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, we examine where timber actually competes, where it falls short, and what owners and engineers need to know before choosing it over concrete. From speed and aesthetics to fire ratings, insurance, and durability, this conversation exposes the tradeoffs that get lost in the marketing.What You'll Learn- What exactly qualifies as mass timber, and why is CLT the dominant product?- Can timber's speed of construction outweigh prefabrication challenges?- Why do acoustics and fire safety force timber to rely on concrete toppings?- How do insurance and durability concerns stack up against concrete?- Are sustainability claims for timber real—or just another sales pitch?- Where does concrete still deliver advantages timber can't match?Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Mass Timber and Concrete04:38 – Understanding Mass Timber Products09:00 – Advantages of Mass Timber in Construction13:40 – Design Considerations and Aesthetics18:22 – Durability, Maintenance, and Sustainability22:48 – Cost, Insurance, and Market TrendsGuest InfoName: Garrett BraunEmail: gbraun@blueneststructural.comWebsite: https://www.blueneststructural.com/Company: Blue Nest StructuralConcrete Logic AcademyEarn PDHs the easy way.
