Hannah Murray will start by looking at the bestseller lists on Amazon.co.uk and The Sunday Times, the oldest and most influential book sales chart in the UK, and seeing what new entries there are.Guy Lloyd is our resident UK Publishing Expert. In a 40 year publishing career, Guy worked for some of the biggest publishing houses in the business, including Penguin Random House, BBC Books and Virgin. He joins us once a month for all the latest book news. This month he's talking about the new EU tariff on small parcels causing bad ripples in the book trade, new books coming out by Mariam Margolyes and Nick Hornby, and why The Correspondent by Virginia Evans is doing so wellGillian Edwards' debut novel 'The Posting' is based on her mother-in-law's jaw dropping account of her life in WWII, including her memories of the Japanese prison camp survivors. Caroline James is the celebrated author of later life fiction. Her latest novel 'The Nile Cruise', which asks 'will the magic of moonlit nights on the Nile bring romance and renewal? Or will whispers of the past and the infamous curse of Tutankhamun cast a shadow when least expected?' ...Chris Mapp's debut novel 'Songs of Expectation' was inspired by the true story of 100,000 British children from pauper backgrounds who, between the late 1860s and 1939, were sent to Canada as cheap labour. They were called the 'British Home Children' and in 2010 the British Government formally apologized for its involvement. Chris' father was one of them, and led a remarkable life from pauper child to Whitehall Civil Servant, via a Canadian farm. P N Johnson now writes fast-moving thrillers after a long and successful career in television journalism with the BBC and ITV. He became the face and voice of regional Crimestoppers, and created the successful TV series 999 Frontline. His new novel 'Killer on the Set' has large parts set in Spain, mostly in Valencia and Mojacar. One of the leading characters is a Spanish hero cop called Blanca Lopez. Andrew M Buckley's debut novel 'Diagonal' re-imagines a forgotten heroine called Felicia Brown, a little-known artist who was the first and only British woman to die in the Spanish Civil War.

September 2 is the annual commemoration of Saint Brocard (1170-1231). A group of Christian hermits led by St. Brocard settled on Mount Carmel—the biblical site associated with the Prophet Elijah (900-850 BC). These hermits built a chapel dedicated to Mary and eventually became known as the Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. They viewed Mary as their spiritual mother and the "Lady of the place," integrating the contemplation of Elijah with devotion to the Virgin. Central to this devotion is the Brown Scapular.

Shania Twain holds the record for the biggest selling country album of all time: Come On Over. Growing up poor in a Canadian mining town, who could have foreseen that the woman born Eileen Regina Twain would go on to sell over 100 million records, cross country music into pop, and become one of the most recognisable voices on the planet?Her life has been extraordinary, dotted with hit albums and huge shows, songs known by their opening line worldwide, and fans ranging from country music loyalists to Harry Styles. There've been plenty of lows too, including almost losing her voice completely to Lyme disease. Shania Twain may be a little more raspy, but she's got stories.This episode was captured at the legendary Power Station in Midtown Manhattan (the recording studio where Bruce Springsteen made his biggest albums, where David Bowie recorded Let's Dance, and Madonna crafted Like a Virgin). It was the perfect place to sit down and travel back in time with Shania, as she reflected on the little Miss Twain that became the star. Stick around after the chat for a very funny story about what happened that day at the studio. Let's just say Take 5 alumni Lin-Manuel Miranda may have been involved (and Amanda Seyfried... and Hamilton star Phillipa Soo).Shania Twain's song choices: Dolly Parton - 'Coat of Many Colors'Tanya Tucker - 'Texas (When I Die)'Olivia Newton-John - 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'Tina Turner - 'What's Love Got to Do with It'Aretha Franklin - 'Respect'00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene at the Power Station01:50 The Legendary Power Station Studio02:35 Dolly Parton - 'Coat of Many Colors'03:15 Growing Up Poor and Dolly Parton's Influence06:45 Reflecting on Childhood and the New Album 'Little Miss Twain'07:30 Singing in Bars as a Child and Tammy Wynette09:01 Tanya Tucker - 'Texas (When I Die)'09:30 Tanya Tucker: A Voice Beyond Her Years11:00 First on Stage at Eight Years Old12:45 Singing in the Bars of Timmins, Ontario15:30 Mother's Dream: The Next Tanya Tucker16:00 Dreaming of Horses Instead of Fame17:05 Olivia Newton-John - 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'17:45 Olivia Newton-John: Crossing Genres and Breaking Boundaries20:30 Nashville, Crossing Over to Pop, and Doing It Her Way24:00 The First Video, a Target Budget, and the Belly Button Scandal27:10 Tina Turner - 'What's Love Got to Do with It'28:00 The Queen of Comebacks29:45 A 15-Year Break and Losing Her Voice30:30 Lyme Disease, Vocal Cord Surgery, and Finding a New Voice34:20 Aretha Franklin - 'Respect'35:00 Aretha's Brilliance and Owning the Song37:30 Respect, Recognition, and Not Feeling Like a Star38:30 Finding Peace in the Bush40:00 Full Circle: A Message to Little Miss Twain41:00 A Surprise Visit from Lin-Manuel Miranda, Amanda Seyfried & Phillipa Soo42:30 Next Time: Darren Hayes43:30 Double JThis episode was filmed for season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe on ABC TV and ABC iview.

Two Ohio passengers face felony charges after an alleged attack inside a passenger cabin on August 15, 2026, in a case handled at Port Canaveral by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office; authorities did not identify the ship. Disney Cruise Line christened Disney Destiny at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, with Broadway performer Susan Egan as godmother, ahead of a November 20 maiden voyage on four- and five-night sailings to The Bahamas and the Western Caribbean; the 144,000-gross-ton, LNG-powered vessel is the third in the Wish class. And Virgin Voyages' Valiant Lady marked five years since her July 1, 2021 delivery from Fincantieri's Sestri Ponente yard, a run that now points toward a 2028 Scandinavia and Baltic program introducing Amsterdam as a homeport.

The Space Show Presents George Tyson, Tuesday, 7-28-26.The Space Show featured George Tyson, CEO of Orbital Construction Pioneers, discussing his company's concept for building large orbital structures using additive manufacturing with bio-based materials, primarily plant-based epoxies and fillers like hemp. He detailed the “First Step” project, which aims to create a rotating disk-shaped space station called Station 520, with initial construction relying on materials grown and processed in orbit. Tyson explained the current research phase, focusing on material testing and 3D printing technology, and mentioned partnerships such as with Exo Scientific for life support systems. The conversation covered technical aspects like structural design, launch costs, regulatory considerations, and the long-term goal of establishing an Earth-independent space economy. Tyson also introduced the Interplanetary Regen Network (IRN), a proposed consortium to collaborate on space development. The discussion included questions from co-host John Jossy and other participants about feasibility, timelines, and potential applications of the technology.George discussed his experience from 2005 when he participated in a space tourism assessment, finding that while there was public interest, it wasn't sufficient to support expensive space tourism flights. He advised companies like XCOR to focus on flying scientific experiments multiple times before sending them to the ISS, which XCOR had planned to implement before other issues arose. The discussion also covered current space tourism status, with John noting that Virgin is not doing well and Blue Origin has shifted focus, while SpaceX is doing some tourism but not much, and George expressing interest in stratosphere balloon rides as a more viable luxury tourism option.The group discussed their experiences with early television technology, particularly watching the Apollo landings on black and white TVs. They shared personal anecdotes about watching the moon landings in various locations, from hotel rooms to living rooms, and compared these experiences to modern large-screen TVs and electronic devices. The conversation also touched on advancements in electronics, including high-speed oscilloscopes, with Marshall sharing a story about purchasing a $250,000 oscilloscope for work at TI.George Tyson, CEO of Orbital Construction Pioneers, was our main guest. His large program focused on his flagship “First Step” project, which involves building Station 520 - a 320-meter diameter orbital station that will use additive manufacturing with biological materials grown in orbit to create panels and structures. The station will be constructed using about seven vehicles the size of Starship, with initial framework and plants lifted from Earth, and will serve as a manufacturing hub producing fresh water, oxygen, and food while processing waste products from customers.George talked about his company's development of plant-based biopoxy materials for space construction, explaining that they have tested various formulas including hemp for fillers and are working on 3D printing capabilities. The team discussed their plans for a disc-shaped space station (Station 520) with a 3-meter-thick wall structure that would be hollow with different gravity levels, though specific details about density and mass remain undetermined as they are still in research and testing phases. George outlined their approach to becoming Earth-independent through aquaponics and hydroponics systems that would process waste materials from other stations while providing oxygen, water, and food in exchange for technical support and resources.George explained their 3D printing process using hemp fibers, noting they currently chop fibers to quarter-inch lengths and mix with wood pulp as filler. When asked about launch costs, George indicated they expect costs to eventually reach around $100 per kilogram, similar to what was needed for space manufacturing in 2005, though initial costs will be higher. George confirmed they have experience dealing with regulatory bodies, having previously obtained space flight approval for a training course in 2006-2007, and expressed confidence in working with the FAA to navigate new regulatory challenges for their space manufacturing facility.George explained that his space development project is still in early stages, with ground testing planned before any FAA approvals will be needed. He described his background in mechanical engineering and NASA experience, which led him to form Black Sky Training and later explore 3D printing applications for space development. The team is researching the possibility of using plants for space construction, inspired by a DARPA proposal about growing structures in space.Our guest mentioned his recent presentation at ISDC, noting that while time constraints affected the full presentation, there was significant interest and engagement from attendees, leading to opportunities for further discussions. John Jossy introduced George to Daniel Tompkins and his project, Grow Mars, which involves self-replicating greenhouses using local resources for algae production and 3D printing. George expressed interest in collaborating with Tompkins and requested John share his contact information. George also shared that despite a board member's resignation, the organization is seeking new members to bring fresh perspectives and challenge existing assumptions.George explained the construction process for building a space station, describing how they would use a metal frame (called Stelimer) to create a structure that could be shipped from Earth, which would then be sheeted with the same material. He clarified that while current stations would use 3D printing within a framework, future stations would print beams and frames directly and confirmed that the 3D printers could operate in vacuum conditions without requiring gravity. The discussion also covered surface texture options for the 3D-printed materials, with George suggesting several methods including spray guns and specialized formulas for smoother finishes.George also shared plans for Station 520, emphasizing the importance of developing robotics for operations like sheeting and farming to minimize human involvement. He mentioned collaborating with Exo Scientific on a regenerative life support system and expressed interest in connecting with other private space station companies. George also noted that a revised business plan, including a clearer roadmap, would be published soon, potentially for submission to the ISDC business plan competition. John Jossy proposed collaborating on a blog post about space settlement progress, to which George agreed. The discussion concluded with George sharing ideas about large rotating space stations for long-duration missions, including concepts for growing food and raising animals.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentWe use Zoom phone numbers for program participation.For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

“Good Girl” consciousness isn't a personality trait. It's actually a rigid, self-righteous construct. It's a way you're trying to feel safe, loved and worthy; but truly it kills your desire, alienates you from others, diminishes your creativity and inhibits intimacy.In this episode, grace breaks down how the most common signs the good girl programming are running your nervous system, your relationships, and even your business. She traces where the programming comes from, why it often collapses into martyrdom or control, and what it takes to trade goodness for a more pleasurable, wild wholeness instead.We discuss —(0:33) what good girl consciousness is — a pattern in your nervous system and a paradigm about how the world works(6:55) not feeling “good enough” to want what you want(8:36) being rigid about everyone else's behavior and beliefs(12:41) believing it's your job to save others, and resenting those who aren't trying to “save the world”(15:39) the real point of a spiritual practice is not being a good person(19:34) driven by the fear of being misunderstood and performing so people won't leave you(33:41) the suffering artist story surrounding your gifts(40:02) pride in hyperindependence and the fear of “wanting too much”If you enjoyed the episode, check out —finding your true Gift

Anna and Avery break down yesterday's total solar eclipse — a 182-mile-wide shadow that swept from the Arctic through Greenland and Iceland to northern Spain, giving millions of people up to 2 minutes 18 seconds of totality. Plus: astronomers find three supermassive black holes sharing one distant galaxy (two are about to merge), Virgin Galactic pushes commercial spaceflight back to February 2027, and Rocket Lab signs a new launch customer for Neutron even as the rocket's debut slips further.**Full show notes:**Today's episode — S05E166, Thursday August 13, 2026:**Main story: The August 12 total solar eclipse.** The Moon's shadow crossed the Arctic Ocean, eastern Greenland, western Iceland, northern Spain, the Balearic Islands and out into the Mediterranean. Longest totality on land: 2 minutes 18 seconds at Látrabjarg, Iceland. Millions gathered across northern Spain, with the path also crossing A Coruña, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Valencia and Palma (Madrid and Barcelona were just outside the path). Observers reported seeing the solar corona, a prominence, and Jupiter, Mercury and Venus during totality.

Listen to Fr. Steve's Homily from August 11, 2026
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.Tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus : quae accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsae. 2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae, et quinque prudentes : 3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:sed quinque fatuae, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum : 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus. 5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.Media autem nocte clamor factus est : Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei. 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae, et ornaverunt lampades suas. 8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.Fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt : Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostrae extinguuntur. 9 The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.Responderunt prudentes, dicentes : Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis. 10 Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus : et quae paratae erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua. 11 But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.Novissime vero veniunt et reliquae virgines, dicentes : Domine, domine, aperi nobis. 12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.At ille respondens, ait : Amen dico vobis, nescio vos. 13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam

She was the daughter of Gavinius, a Christian priest in Rome, and the niece of Pope Gaius. The Emperor Diocletian's adopted son Maximian wished to marry Susanna, but she had no desire to marry any one, least of all a pagan. The patricians Claudia and Maxima were sent to Susanna by the Emperor to present Maximian's suit; but instead she turned both of them, and all their households, to the Faith. The enraged Emperor had Claudia, Maxima and their families executed, then had Susanna herself beheaded. The Emperor's wife, Serena, was a secret Christian, and took Susanna's body secretly and buried it. Soon after this Susanna's father Gavinius and her uncle Pope Gaius also met martyrdom.

31 And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.Et iterum exiens de finibus Tyri, venit per Sidonem ad mare Galilaeae inter medios fines Decapoleos. 32 And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.Et adducunt ei surdum, et mutum, et deprecabantur eum, ut imponat illi manum. 33 And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:Et apprehendens eum de turba seorsum, misit digitos suos in auriculas ejus : et exspuens, tetigit linguam ejus : 34 And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.et suscipiens in caelum, ingemuit, et ait illi : Ephphetha, quod est, Adaperire. 35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.Et statim apertae sunt aures ejus, et solutum est vinculum linguae ejus, et loquebatur recte. 36 And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.Et praecepit illis ne cui dicerent. Quanto autem eis praecipiebat, tanto magis plus praedicabant : 37 And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.et eo amplius admirabantur, dicentes : Bene omnia fecit : et surdos fecit audire, et mutos loqui.St Tiburtius was the son of the prefect of Rome and he was a Roman deacon. He was beheaded after suffering many cruel torments in 286 A.D.St Susanna was a holy virgin of high lineage. She refused to marry the son of Diocletian. She was beheaded after grievous torments in 295 A.D.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (8.7) The Kings clean out their lockers after Colorado ended their season, and Anze Kopitar walks away after eight straight playoff exits — we get into the exit interviews and what this franchise looks like without him. Traffic-wise there's relief and pain at the same time: the 5 is open in both directions at the Grapevine, but you're still staring down a 19-mile backup. Then we plan an escape — the Conway Cruise to Puerto Rico and the Virgin and British Islands, sailing within five to eight miles of Cuba. After that, a look at how car insurance companies can legally charge single people and widows more than married drivers, and a warning about a genuinely dangerous weight-loss trend making the rounds online in which people are deliberately trying to infect themselves with a parasite. We're not going to walk you through it — we're going to tell you why doctors want it to stop. We close on the big one: the City of L.A. is sitting on roughly 20,000 vacant lots while the homelessness crisis grinds on. Why isn't anything getting built? Plus a look at rising food insecurity across the country. #LAKings #Kopitar #NHL #StanleyCupPlayoffs #ColoradoAvalanche #LATraffic #Grapevine #I5 #LosAngeles #LANews #CarInsurance #InsuranceRates #Cruise #Caribbean #PuertoRico #Homelessness #AffordableHousing #VacantLots #FoodInsecurity #TalkRadio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 409 The Saint of the day is Dedication of Saint Mary Major Basilica The Story of the Dedication of Saint Mary Major Basilica First raised at the order of Pope Liberius in the mid-fourth century, the Liberian basilica was rebuilt by Pope Sixtus III shortly after the Council of Ephesus affirmed Mary's title as Mother of God in 431. Rededicated at that time to the Mother of God, St. Mary Major is the largest church in the world honoring God through Mary. Standing atop one of Rome's seven hills, the Esquiline, it has survived many restorations without losing its character as an early Roman basilica. Its interior retains three naves divided by colonnades in the style of Constantine's era. Fifth-century mosaics on its walls testify to its antiquity. St. Mary Major is one of the four Roman basilicas known as patriarchal churches in memory of the first centers of the Church. St. John Lateran represents Rome, the See of Peter; St. Paul Outside the Walls, the See of Alexandria, allegedly the see presided over by Mark; St. Peter's, the See of Constantinople; and St. Mary's, the See of Antioch, where Mary is supposed to have spent most of her later life. One legend, unreported before the year 1000, gives another name to this feast: Our Lady of the Snows. According to that story, a wealthy Roman couple pledged their fortune to the Mother of God. In affirmation, she produced a miraculous summer snowfall and told them to build a church on the site. The legend was long celebrated by releasing a shower of white rose petals from the basilica's dome every August 5. Reflection Theological debate over Christ's nature as God and man reached fever pitch in Constantinople in the early fifth century. The chaplain of Bishop Nestorius began preaching against the title Theotokos, “Mother of God,” insisting that the Virgin was mother only of the human Jesus. Nestorius agreed, decreeing that Mary would henceforth be named “Mother of Christ” in his see. The people of Constantinople virtually revolted against their bishop's refutation of a cherished belief. When the Council of Ephesus refuted Nestorius, believers took to the streets, enthusiastically chanting, “Theotokos! Theotokos!”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
Caroline Stokes tells CEOs something most of them don't want to hear: the AI question everyone is asking is the wrong one. She is the founder of FORWARD, a human capital solutions firm for pioneers, and the author of AfterShock to 2030: A CEO's Guide to Reinvention in the Age of AI, Climate, and Societal Collapse. Named to the Thinkers50 Radar Class of 2026, she was shortlisted for the Thinkers50 Leadership Award for a book she deliberately published digital-only to keep its carbon footprint near zero. Her route here was unusual. Raised between the UK and Singapore before the age of ten, she went from PR at Virgin to the early PlayStation team, then to executive search, then to coaching, and then back to school three separate times during and after the pandemic to study ESG at MIT, AI business strategy, and the new space economy. She is neurodivergent, and she credits that with how she reads systems and spots what a room is missing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT CAROLINE COVERS IN THIS EPISODE 1. THE FOUR SHOCKS ALREADY HERE Economic instability, climate disruption, AI acceleration and societal fragmentation are not separate agenda items. They are one interconnected system, and leaders who treat them separately are already behind. 2. WHY AI IS THE WRONG FIRST QUESTION Yes, learn it, the way you had to learn email in 1994. But the question a board should actually be asking is how long the organisation can sustain itself at all. 3. THE CEOs WHO ARE QUITTING INSTEAD OF ADAPTING Many are cashing in their chips rather than building the polymathic organisations this moment demands. Caroline explains who she will and will not work with. 4. THE 100-DAY REINVENTION Built after she watched leaders at a top-three technology company shrug off a mandate from their new CEO with "it'll take two years." Her warning to them: you will be laying people off before that. 5. FIGHT, FLIGHT, FREEZE, FAWN The four avatars every leader defaults to under conflict. Not knowing yours is how you quietly sabotage your own strategy. 6. CLIMATE AS AN OPERATING CONSTRAINT Not an ESG line item. If your people are breathing smoke and getting migraines, the work does not happen. Maslow, applied to the modern workforce. 7. THINK LIKE A SCIENTIST OR AN ARTIST Michelangelo started with a block of marble and no finished image. Everyone has to start somewhere in a reality with no playbook. 8. HER ADVICE TO WOMEN LEADING RIGHT NOW Follow the curiosity that keeps stalking you. Ask what your seven-year-old self would want from you, and then go learn something new. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT CAROLINE STOKES Founder of FORWARD and a global leadership strategist for the Fifth Industrial Revolution. A Sony alum who worked on the PlayStation launch and a PCC-level, EQ 2.0-certified coach, she moved from executive headhunting into leadership reinvention. She is the author of AfterShock to 2030 (2025) and Elephants Before Unicorns (Entrepreneur Press, 2019), and a co-author of the HBR Guide to Navigating the Toxic Workplace (2024). Her 2019 TEDx talk predicted the convergence of AI, climate and societal disruption now shaping boardrooms.

A health technology executive with three decades of experience, she has led product and commercial organisations, served on public and private company boards, and advises early-stage ventures. She started Inspiring Women around a gap she kept running into: women make up roughly 70 percent of the healthcare workforce but hold about 20 percent of the C-suite seats. Each episode is a direct conversation with a woman who has built something, aimed at the practical questions that rarely get asked in public. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ INSPIRING WOMEN WITH LAURIE McGRAW Website: inspiringwomen.show Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube. #Leadership #CEO #AI #Climate #WomenInLeadership #Thinkers50
The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 1 (7.31) A quiet Chino Hills street. A cut in power. One-man steps outside to check the electrical panel — and never comes back in. This morning we break down the disturbing new details deputies released Friday in the kidnapping and shooting that left 60-year-old Shukur Aikebaer dead and one suspect dead alongside him. Investigators have now identified both suspects, 67-year-old Zhengfeng Bo and 66-year-old Jianquan Bo, and the timeline of what allegedly happened on Monteverde Drive around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday is chilling. Then we shift gears — way up north. Tanya Bryant from TravelStore.com joins us at 6:20 to talk about the greatest Alaska cruise ever and what's next: The Allura, sailing to Puerto Rico and the Virgin & British Islands, February 19–27. Sign up by August 17 for the special. All the details at ConwayCruise.com. At 6:35, baseball drama. Two teams, 33 miles apart, living in completely different universes. Three World Series rings versus one playoff appearance in 13 years. With the August 3 deadline closing in and Shohei Ohtani's inflamed knee keeping him off the mound since July 3, the Dodgers are hunting big — and the name everyone keeps whispering is two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. Meanwhile, the Angels are heading in the other direction. Again. And finally at 6:50 — welcome to the jungle, because the heat is ON. Outdoor wedding this weekend? Good luck. We're asking how the OC is surviving this thing. #ChinoHills #BreakingNews #SoCalNews #InlandEmpire #SanBernardinoCounty #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #Dodgers #LADodgers #Angels #TradeDeadline #Ohtani #Skubal #MLB #Baseball #HeatWave #OrangeCounty #TheOC #SoCalHeat #ExcessiveHeatWarning #CruiseLife #AlaskaCruise #TravelDeals #ConwayCruise #MorningShow #Podcast #DailyPodcast #LocalNews #SouthernCalifornia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is a toggle that shows all in pricing, but it is buried where almost nobody will find it, and we make the case it belongs right on the initial search screen. Mark also found something stranger, the same hotel priced 10 to 15 dollars differently between his account and his wife's, which opens a real conversation about personalized pricing in the age of AI. On the hotel side, Hilton charged him roughly $280 a night for rooms he booked entirely on points, a good reminder to always check your folio before you leave. Then we get into whether premium economy is good enough for a 13 hour flight home from Seoul, why the footrest works great if you are short and terribly if you are tall, and how the snobbery in this hobby has quietly faded as award space has dried up. Plus Mark's 75,000 point Aeroplan booking to see Wrexham, the transfer bonuses ending this month, and the Virgin points to AMC popcorn trick that finally wore Shawn down. Let us know in the comments whether you would take the nonstop in premium economy or connect in business.
