This episode updates you on how the Big, Bloated Bill in Congress will impact nonprofits and philanthropy. And this week's interview offers a deep dive into how the proposed law would impact nonprofits that hold up America's social safety net.What happens when government cuts to essential services threaten to recreate the horrors of decades past? How do nonprofits navigate serving vulnerable populations while fighting for their very existence? In this powerful episode, Edward Hershey, CEO of Home of Guiding Hands, reveals the critical connection between defending democracy and protecting society's most vulnerable members—people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who depend on services that are now under unprecedented threat.Hershey shares the stark reality of operating a $35 million nonprofit with 1,200 employees while 90% dependent on government funding that's facing massive cuts. From paying payroll on credit cards due to delayed government payments to witnessing a 40% underfunding crisis finally addressed only to be threatened again, his organization's story illuminates how attacking nonprofits, government programs, and philanthropic funding creates a dangerous triple threat to democratic values. The conversation traces a direct line from the horrific institutional conditions exposed by Geraldo Rivera in the 1970s to today's policy decisions that could force a return to those dark days.Through personal accounts of rallying 300 constituents, confronting elected officials, and maintaining hope among staff and clients, Hershey demonstrates that defending democracy isn't abstract—it's about ensuring that government remains "of the people, for the people" by protecting the infrastructure that cares for those who cannot advocate for themselves. His message is clear: we are judged as a society by how we treat our most vulnerable, and preserving that care is preserving democracy itself.You can find all the episodes of this podcast plus our blog, toolkit and other resources at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fundthepeople.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Russia's military captured four Ukrainian border villages in the Sumy region of Ukraine on Tuesday. It follows an intense bombing campaign of Ukraine's cities and towns over the weekend by Russian drones. It also comes as Moscow holds a major security conference over the next two days. Also, a US-backed aid group has begun distributing humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. But Hamas has warned Palestinians to stay away from distribution sites, claiming that the aid group is using those sites to gather intelligence for Israel. Many Palestinians have heeded those warnings — meaning food is still not getting to people in the territory who need it. And Turkey's president calls for a new constitution against a backdrop of protests over the jailing of an opposition leader.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on President Trump ramping up his criticism of Russia's Vladimir Putin.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso share their thoughts on the recent National Restaurant Association Show, the biggest restaurant event in the world that's held each year in Chicago. Their perspective? Expect more innovation around beverages, personalization, and AI. Then they discuss Darden's announcement that it would shutter two Seasons 52 locations on the heels of announcing that 15 Bahama Breeze units would close. Is something wrong at Darden or is this just following the trend of other companies course-correcting in a difficult season? Next they talk about McDonald's new late-night hours, which includes much of its system staying open until midnight or later. That follows the announcement that McDonald's would hire 375,000 more employees — clearly beefing up the workforce as it prepares to accommodate the shifting consumer behavior around dayparts. Finally, Sam and Alicia talk about Portillo's intent to expand more into nontraditional locations, starting with a new unit in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. Find out why they think this is a smart move for the Chicago-based hot dog chain. For more on these stories: Darden shutters two Seasons 52 locations in addition to Bahama Breeze closuresMcDonald's expands late-night hours at most of its restaurantsPortillo's plans smaller locations at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and in The Villages, Fla.

The Rivanna Conservation Alliance wants to know! The group is conducting a study of the presence of Lontra canadensis. The creatures have been spotted throughout the Rivanna River watershed—in rivers, streams, and even backyard ponds!While they're best known for their playful antics, river otters are also important indicators of stream health. They depend on clean water, healthy riparian buffers, and abundant prey sources (including fish, amphibians, and benthic macroinvertebrates) for survival. As such, their presence or absence within our waterways can provide valuable insights into the overall health of our rivers and streams.To learn more, the Rivanna Conservation Alliance has launched the Rivanna River Otter Monitoring Project to gather valuable data on river otter populations while encouraging community members to get outside and explore our local waterways. This project aims not only to inspire public appreciation for river otters, but also foster a deeper community connection to our rivers and streams and the diverse wildlife populations they support.To learn more and consider a donation, please visit the Rivanna Conservation Alliance.Second-shout out: Cville VillageCan you drive a neighbor to a doctor's appointment?

From concerts to a golf car scavenger hunt, this community offers a lot of variety for its residents. We have details about shows that will take you back in time, a great way to spoil your dog for and yourself, and a couple of car shows that might appeal to you, too. 

Dr Michael Lange hosts the longest running, continuous, doctor hosted radio talk show in the country called "ask the Dr". Dr Lange has been hosting this show since April of 1993 nonstop. Dr Lange hasn't in over 30 years taken off more than two weeks from the radio show. Dr Susan Summerton has been a guest host since 2023. Dr Summerton is also on staff at the Lange Eye Institute in The Villages Florida. She is involved in R&D of supplements along with Dr Lange and Fortifeye Vitamins. Dr Lange and Dr Summerton start off the show discussing how important carbs and sugar are right after working out to replenish muscle glycogen. If you want to thrive you have to have some carbs in your diet. Today's show was discussing the powers of consuming more of the correct fruits and vegetables. More and more studies are being published on the dramatic health benefits of consuming more fruits and vegetables. A large meta-analysis of millions of people concluded that if we consume at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily we can reduce our chances of early death and also reduce many general health issues and diseases. Studies also indicate that increased omega levels in the blood from omega 3 fish oil supplements reduced the rate of death from all causes. Dr Lange briefly discussed the all new Lumenis Opti Light IPL and Opti Lift that is now at the Lange Eye Institute in the Villages Florida. The institute is getting amazing results for the dry eye / meibomian gland dysfunction patients using a combination of Opti Light and Opti Lift. They discuss ocular allergies in some detail today and tell listeners how to treat these eye conditions. Dr Lange and Dr Summerton discuss a new anti-aging skin cream they carry at the Lange Eye Institute called One Skin. Both drs discuss the B&L Infuse daily contact lenses in some detail. They claim this is their lens of choice for all of their patients, Dr Lange especially loves the lens for his dry eye patients and athletes. Dr Susan Summerton does a segment on the power of blueberries and also goes into some detail the powers of a new skin cream called One Skin. Dr Lange told his audience that there are many fake "dr Lange social media" accounts on the internet and scammers are using his images to try to scam people out of money. So please beware. Dr Lange will never ever ask for any money for anything. Both doctors discuss floaters and dry eyes with callers. Dr Lange educates listeners and viewers about the nutritional values of Fortifeye Organic Blue Green Superfood and Fortifeye Super Omega. Both doctors can be seen at the Lange Eye Institute five days a week in the Villages of Florida.

Why is Rosé the go-to wine for celebrity-owned brands rather than Chardonnay or Cabernet? Why are the younger generations of wine drinkers choosing Rosé over red? Is the Rosé boom just a trend, or is its popularity here to stay? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Rasmus Emborg & Jens Honoré, who co-published the Rose Revolution. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Highlights What are the main differences between wines from Domaine Tempier and Domaine Ott? What makes some Rosé wines better for aging than others? How did Gerard Bertrand's background influence his winemaking style? Which Provençal cuisine dishes pair best with the Rosé wines? Why do so many celebrities who come to the wine world choose to make Rosé? Which celebrity wines are worth buying? How has social media impacted the Rosé Revolution? What does the future look like for Rosé's popularity? Why have more men started drinking Rosé? Which wine regions should wine lovers visit to immerse themselves in the world of Rosé?   Key Takeaways Why is Rosé the go-to wine for celebrity-owned brands rather than Chardonnay or Cabernet? As Rasmus and Jens explain, Rosé is much easier to embrace for a broad audience. Rosé has a lot of lovers, but they don't have any enemies. So you can be a serious musician, a rocker, a pop star, and embrace Rosé. When you're just a celebrity and not a winemaker it's way more bankable and easier to market. We tried a lot of those wines and I'll tell you, some of them are pretty good, big bang for the buck. Brad Pitt, John Legend, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jon Bon Jovi, Cameron Diaz and Kylie Minogue Why are the younger generations of wine drinkers choosing Rosé over red? Rasmus and Jens observe that young people don't drink much red wine, but they drink a lot of white wine and Rosé because it's kind of like a celebratory wine. It's become a wine you kind of gather around. You don't disagree about it. You can't be talked down to if you don't know the terroir, the grapes etc. If it's endorsed by a rapper or rock music or whatever, it enhances that experience. Is the Rosé boom just a trend or is its popularity here to stay? Rasmus and Jens believe that Rosé has established itself as a third wine category. We'll still see the quality improve and higher price points. In France, 3 out of 10 bottles are Rosé, globally, it's about one out of 10. They are seeing a trend of Rosé taking market share from red wine whereas white wine is stable.   About Rasmus Emborg & Jens Honoré Rasmus Emborg is a journalist who has worked in the media industry for over 25 years.

How did Rosé get a bad reputation as not being a “real” wine? How did Marcel Ott revolutionize the world of Rosé wine? Why is Grenache a popular grape for making trendy pale Rosés? How do Rosé's beautiful bottles both help and hurt its reputation? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Rasmus Emborg and Jens Honoré, the author and photographer, respectively, who have published Rosé Revolution. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Highlights How did Jens and Rasmus develop a love for Rosé? What does Rasmus find most satisfying about owning a vineyard? Why did Jens and Rasmus want to produce their book independently? Why did Jens choose to photograph the winemakers in black and white, using an analog camera? What was the most challenging aspect of writing Rosé Revolution? Why was Marcel Ott's pioneering decision to treat Rosé as a wine in its own right so radical in 1912? Why did Rosé have such a bad reputation? What makes Grenache such a good grape to make Rosé? Are there benefits to the shape of the iconic Domain Ott bottles? What are some of the wildest bottle Rosé designs Jens found in researching Rosé Revolution? Why does Rasmus believe we'll see more Rosé being sold in brown bottles in the future? What role do ultra-premium Rosés play in the market? Beyond great quality, what factors have made Whispering Angel so successful?   Key Takeaways Rosé wine is made from red wine grapes, and it's the skin that gives color and tannin to the wine. If you let the wine ferment with the skin, you end up with a red wine. Rosé wine was produced as an afterthought, rather than with the intention to make it. This is part of why Rosé has had a bad reputation because it's been considered a byproduct. Marcel Ott was fascinated by Rosé wine because he thought that this was a wine that had the taste of the grapes most precisely. Marcel Ott was the first one to choose the variety of grapes that gave the best Rosé, to position the vineyards in the best possible way to make good Rosé and to choose the harvest time with the ambition to make the best possible Rosé. Grenache is a grape with thin skins and very little pigment so it brings little color to the wine. This is the kind of Rosé wine that is the most trendy these years. It's pale, dry, crisp wine, what we call the Provence style. But also, Grenache has this natural sweetness that applies well to the Rosé wine category as well. Rosé, with its beautiful colour in a transparent, creatively designed bottle, looks great on the shelves in the liquor store. It looks good on Instagram. And I think this is a part of the popularity of Rosé. At the same time, it's also a reason why the bad reputation of Rosé wine remains with some of the wine establishment. At the same time, it's much easier to recycle brown glass than clear glass.   About Rasmus Emborg & Jens Honoré Rasmus Emborg is a journalist who has worked in the media industry for over 25 years.
