The Kansas City Cover-Up & The Killer Hiding in Plain Sight In 1947, Elizabeth Short was found brutally murdered—her body severed, her name erased, replaced forever by “The Black Dahlia.” For nearly 80 years, the case has remained unsolved… or has it? Author Eli Frankel believes the mystery is built on a fatal misunderstanding—one that begins not in Hollywood, but in Kansas City, with a second victim and a killer hiding in plain sight. GUEST: Eli Frankel is a Hollywood producer, investigative researcher, and author of Sisters in Death. After years combing through original case files, witness statements, and overlooked connections, Frankel has constructed a bold, evidence-driven theory linking the Black Dahlia murder to an earlier killing—identifying a single suspect he believes got away with murder twice.

Dr. Jamie Ellis joins Beekeeping Today Podcast to discuss improving honey bee health, colony management strategies, and how beekeepers can strengthen their colonies heading into spring. Jamie shares insights from his work in research, extension education, and beekeeper outreach, helping bridge the gap between academic science and real-world beekeeping practices. The conversation explores how beekeepers can make better management decisions by understanding colony biology, seasonal dynamics, and the pressures that modern honey bee colonies face. Jeff, Becky, and Jamie discuss the importance of monitoring colonies closely as winter transitions into spring. This includes evaluating colony strength, assessing food reserves, and preparing for rapid brood expansion that often accompanies early nectar flows. Jamie emphasizes that successful beekeeping often comes down to careful observation and timely intervention rather than rigid adherence to calendar-based management. The conversation also touches on common misconceptions that beekeepers encounter when managing colonies and the importance of staying adaptable in response to changing environmental conditions, pests, and disease pressures. Jamie's ability to translate complex research into practical guidance makes this episode particularly valuable for beekeepers at all experience levels. Whether managing a few backyard colonies or operating a larger apiary, listeners will find useful reminders about the fundamentals of good colony management and the importance of staying curious about the biology and behavior of honey bees.

Grab your ADHD Thrive Decoder Kit here: http://adhdthriveinstitute.com/123 If you're raising a child with ADHD and sleep feels like a nightly argument, nobody wins. What if bedtime isn't a parenting problem at all? What if your child isn't resisting sleep… but their body is trying to take out the trash? In this powerful solo episode, Dana Kay reveals one of the most overlooked biological stressors impacting children with ADHD: poor detoxification. Sleep is not just rest. It is the brain and body's nightly cleanup crew. When detox pathways are sluggish, overloaded, or genetically compromised, children can wake between 1–3 a.m., feel wired but exhausted, experience red cheeks, itchy skin, anxiety, sensory overload, and morning meltdowns before the day even begins. Dana walks through three major detox systems — liver, gut, and lymphatic system — and explains how genetic mutations like MTHFR, GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1, combined with oxidative stress and environmental toxin exposure, can create internal pressure that looks like ADHD behavior. Through the story of Dara and her daughter Reese, she shows how supporting detox pathways changed sleep first, and regulation followed. If sleep plans work for other kids but not yours, this episode will help you understand why.

He is trained as a scientist at Oxford University and Harvard University, and then he became the vice president of Global Business development for a biotech company. During the pandemic, he found himself in a unique situation which led him to start his Amazon e-commerce business. He became a seven figure seller in just 11 months and now has a new business model of acquiring distressed assets, and he also owns a boutique Amazon account and launch management agency. So welcome to the podcast, Pradeep.Pradeep 00:00:36 Thank you so much.Josh 00:00:37 I love that you made the mention of when we go to conferences. And as you listen to speakers speak on stage or even listening to podcasts time and time again, we hear the same optimization strategies and the same keyword strategies, and it's just a new tool that people are using. But instead what you're saying is like, the hard stuff is what people aren't necessarily talking about. People aren't getting into the weeds of cogs and negotiating with suppliers and renegotiating on an ongoing basis, and the finer details of logistics and where you're warehousing things.Josh 00:01:14 And with Amazon, you know, reducing inventory limits across the board for people. What are people doing now to kind of prepare themselves for a world where Amazon does limit you completely and with maybe 1 or 2 months worth of inventory and that's it. And how are you staging your inventory and still winning on Amazon in that environment and then cash flow? I mean, all of these things are such great topics. So yes, let's do a deep dive into each of these. Let's start with the cogs first.Pradeep 00:01:45 Yeah, sure. so what we see is quite interesting with cogs. the cog numbers to start off with, sometimes a minimum, we say 3 to 5, but as Amazon and e-commerce goes more expensive, I think it's about 8 to 10. So if you're buying something for $1, you should be above 8 to 10 in terms of selling prices, if not more, right? What we see is again and again people are saying, hey, we have particularly beginners, hey, we have this 3 to 4, but with inventory, PPC, shipping and all these things, it's just the profits are gone.Pradeep 00:02:21 Before the pandemic or during the pandemic is very profitable. And this is, by the way, experienced. This sounds stupid. I find I find myself finding myself stupid explaining this to someone, but we actually see it every day. Seven, eight, nine figure sellers saying you want this brand because the cogs have gone too expensive because they haven't worked out. Fundamentally, the multiples and the multiples have to be really strong now and the bigger multiple margin to sell. So those cogs are fundamentally negotiable, and you have to have the right product and the cogs are cheap. Price number one. It sounds stupid, but that's what we see. Number two is the negotiation. Hey, we bought 100,000 units. Next time we're going to have three 400,000 units. But you're still selling for the same price. Why? Your your factory should be giving you a note or, you know, handle cash flow or a cheaper price because they're getting raw material cheaper. And what we see is, you know, I sign NDAs, but what we see is some of these aggregators and others who are famous when they go back and some of these factories are quite savvy, say, hey, you raise X amount of money.Pradeep 00:03:29 All of a sudden your cogs are gone up. So, you know. So I think that's again how you negotiate and how you have exclusive agreements for a period of time, particularly on your best selling products. We do this in pharma and other business tools all around the world. You want it for five years. This is the price. If the if if inflation goes down or if the market changes, this is going to be a price. We have the power to change it not you. So it might be having exclusive agreements. And that's how sophisticated you guys we have to get in e-commerce. Because this is no longer a, a mom and pop kind of operation. This has to be sophisticated. Even if your mom and pop or a guy in a basement. That's how you should be thinking. you know, solar. It could be a corporate on your own, but you've got to think like that. So, cogs and how you define the first cogs, the renegotiate the cost is very important.Pradeep 00:04:19 Then thirdly, how are you people storing cogs, right. How are you doing unit economics and how are you storing Excel sheet or software and so forth. And that has to be updated on a daily basis. we see fundamental mistakes and we see fundamental errors as well. You can pick it out straight away from, profit and loss statements as well. so that's something people have to be aware of. And it gets really hard because if you have multiple brands, multiple products, multiple inventory, you know, it's all over the place.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how buyers find information online and how builders position their websites to stay visible. Greg Bray, president of Blue Tangerine, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how AI is reshaping search engine optimization (SEO), website content and digital marketing strategies for home builders. As AI-powered search tools become more widely used, the way people discover information online is evolving rapidly. Builders now need website content that balances compelling storytelling with clear, structured information. How AI Is Changing the Rules of Search Traditional SEO strategies focused on optimizing entire webpages around specific keywords. AI-driven search tools now analyze content at a deeper level. “We're learning that the way AI tools are using the content on your website has moved down a layer,” Bray said. “The paragraph level or the section level on the page is where they're looking for the data and the answers.” This shift is affecting how brands measure online visibility, and many companies have seen website traffic decline as AI tools become more prevalent. Why SEO Still Matters Although some marketers worry AI could replace traditional search engines, SEO remains essential for digital visibility. AI tools still rely on search engines, but approach queries differently. Instead of a single search, they generate a “query fan out”—multiple related searches that provide broader context and more detailed answers. Websites must contain straightforward, accessible information that AI systems can interpret and connect to buyer questions. Structure and Clarity Matter for AI Visibility Website structure is increasingly important as search evolves. AI systems prioritize clarity and organization, making well-structured content easier to interpret. Short sections, targeted headings and concise explanations help both AI tools and human readers quickly find relevant information. “Clarity wins over clever,” Bray said. “Being very explicit about the idea and breaking those ideas up using section headers makes it easier for AI tools to interpret your content.” Utilizing FAQs to Help AI Understand Content Frequently asked questions (FAQs) are an effective way to structure website content for AI visibility. This format encourages clear questions and concise answers that address common buyer concerns. FAQ sections should focus on information rather than marketing language. Bray recommends making the first sentence of each answer a direct response to the question, followed by two to three sentences providing additional context. The Role of Public Relations for Home Builders Beyond website content, third-party signals—such as media coverage and industry mentions—are increasingly valuable for AI search systems. These external signals reinforce credibility and show that a company is active and trustworthy. “It's not just looking at the results from your website,” Bray said. “It's also looking at how you show up in other places, including social media, videos and PR coverage.” How Builders Can Start Adapting for AI Search Builders can start small when improving digital visibility. Pick a single page and imagine walking a buyer through it. Structure the content as clear questions and answers, so AI tools and visitors alike can quickly find the information they're looking for. Tune in to the full episode to discover how builders can adapt their websites for the future of online search and AI visibility. To learn more about Blue Tangerine, visit https://BlueTangerine.com/.

Nonprofit leaders often overlook website maintenance, security, and speed. Yet, a nonprofit website is critical infrastructure for fundraising, donor trust, and search visibility. In the early days of the internet, a nonprofit's website was little more than a digital brochure: a static page listing a mission statement, a mailing address, and perhaps a grainy logo. Today, that same website is the organization's front door, donation engine, volunteer recruiter, grant validator, and public trust ledger all at once. For nonprofit leaders, the shift has been profound. A slow or insecure website is no longer an inconvenience. It is an operational risk. On a recent episode of the Nonprofit MBA Podcast, Stephen Halasnik from Financing Solutions sat down with Garrett Goldman, co-founder and CEO of StateWP, to explore what nonprofit executives need to understand about website security, performance, and governance in 2026. The conversation revealed a critical truth: nonprofits must stop treating their websites as one-time design projects and start treating them as mission-critical infrastructure.
Gas prices in Southern California are skyrocketing, with Los Angeles County seeing averages of $5.17 per gallon and some stations charging over $8. The surge is attributed to the war in Iran and California's regulatory policies. The national average has jumped nearly 50 cents since the conflict began. Drivers are struggling, especially those relying on their vehicles for income. Experts note that reduced in-state gasoline production is exacerbating the problem. Websites like GasBuddy.com can help drivers find the cheapest prices nearby. The situation highlights the vulnerability of consumers to geopolitical events and the impact of local regulations on energy costs. Is the $8.21 price a sign of things to come?
Send a textAfter an enthusiastic recommendation from former guest, Cameron Scott, Andy Batt streamed into a late night EDT interview of Playwright's Spotlight, and, as always, what an insightful and inspirational conversation it was. In this interview, we discuss the origins and evolution of Andy's own playwriting and how it influenced the development of the MadLab theatre company and venue. We breakdown MadLab's themes and schedule, premises and rhythms as well as the market of Columbus, Ohio. We also discuss the the draw of original works, submission requirements, mistakes, details, process, and rejections, the importance of format (or lack there of) in addition to physical and dramatic action. We wrap our conversation with criticisms or love of the classics and absurdists, simplicity vs complexity, and advice for taking that "leap".Andy Batt started in theatre in 1997 with no experience, training, and have never even thought about doing a play before, and after a couple years of the acting bug, his best friend and mentor brought him over to MadLab, a non-profit organization where they started producing original work together. Now, almost 30 years later, he has done almost every job there is to do in theatre - from acting, directing, and playwriting. In 2009, he was able to shepherd MadLab through the process of buying its own space in downtown Columbus, OH. Each year they produce five to seven original productions including "Theatre Roulette", the longest-running shorts festival in Ohio.For tickets to MadLab's 2026 Theatre Roulette season visit - https://ci.ovationtix.com/35811To view the video format of this episode, visit the link below - https://youtu.be/g65kmGtSrI0Links to sites and resources mentioned in this episode - MadLab - https://www.madlab.net/index.htmlLenaea High School Theatre Festival - https://www.lenaea.org/Play Submissions Helper - https://playsubmissionshelper.com/Websites and socials for Andy Batt and MadLab Theatre -www.madlab.netFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/andy.batt.18IG - https://www.instagram.com/andypbatt/Websites and socials for James Elden, Punk Monkey Productions and Playwright's SpotlightPunk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlJames Elden -Twitter - @jameseldensauerIG - @alakardrakeFB - fb.com/jameseldensauerPunk Monkey Productions and PLAY Noir - Twitter - @punkmonkeyprods - @playnoirla IG - @punkmonkeyprods - @playnoir_la FB - fb.com/playnoir - fb.com/punkmonkeyproductionsPlaywright's Spotlight -Twitter - @wrightlightpod IG - @playwrights_spotlightPlaywriting services through Los Angeles Collegiate Playwrights Festivalwww.losangelescollegiateplaywrightsfestival.com/services.htmlSupport the show
In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome back Tara Dawn Chapman, founder of Two Hives Honey and author of For the Bees: A Handbook for Happy Beekeeping. Tara first joined the podcast during the series on building a bee business, and she returns to discuss her new book, her unconventional path into beekeeping, and why she believes every beekeeper should begin by understanding honey bee biology. Tara shares how a beekeeping class sparked a dramatic career change—from working in intelligence and traveling internationally to launching a beekeeping operation in Austin, Texas. Starting with just two colonies, she quickly expanded her apiaries and built a successful enterprise by focusing on creative revenue streams like agritourism and education rather than relying solely on honey sales. Much of the conversation centers on Tara's philosophy of teaching beekeeping through the lens of biology and the superorganism. Her book emphasizes understanding how honey bees interact with their environment—especially how weather patterns and floral resources shape colony behavior. Rather than relying on fixed calendar schedules, Tara encourages beekeepers to observe resource availability and environmental signals to guide management decisions. Tara also discusses the challenges of writing a book for beekeepers across diverse climates, the importance of visual storytelling through illustrations, and the realities of managing bees in Central Texas, including extreme summer heat and the presence of Africanized honey bee genetics. Finally, she hints at future plans to expand her work helping beekeepers develop sustainable bee businesses—possibly through new educational programs or mentorship opportunities.

In this re-released episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts revisits one of the most powerful and controversial conversations the show has ever aired. This episode was too important to leave buried in the archives. Kaylor sits down with traditional birth companion Billie Harrigan to unpack how modern birth became medicalized and what that can mean for mothers, babies, and families. Billie shares her own traumatic first birth story and explains why many women describe hospital birth as a violation of consent, agency, and dignity. Together, they explore when Western medicine is genuinely lifesaving, why the "clock" drives so many interventions, and how calm, family-centered birth environments may support bonding and nervous system regulation. They also discuss common fears around home birth, the role of fathers, and the deeper question: is birth a medical emergency or a physiological process? If you're planning a family, questioning the system, or care about informed consent and sovereignty, this is an episode worth hearing twice. Episode Highlights: birth trauma, home birth, informed consent, medicalization of childbirth, PTSD postpartum, nervous system regulation, oxytocin and bonding, c-sections and "failure to progress", induction timelines, father's role in birth, neonatal breathing support basics, Western medicine in true emergencies Takeaways: Birth is usually a physiological process, not automatically a medical event Interventions can create cascades that lead to more intervention and more trauma Trauma is often linked to violation, loss of agency, fear, and helplessness A calm environment may support bonding and nervous system regulation after birth Fathers can be a stabilizing anchor by staying connected, calm, and present Having a transfer plan can reduce fear without defaulting to hospital-first thinking Parents feel stronger when they understand options, risks, and consent boundaries If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

Grab your ADHD Thrive Decoder Kit here: http://adhdthriveinstitute.com/123 Sometimes it's not your child having a bad day. Sometimes it's that you are parenting a completely different nervous system, depending on what went into their mouth yesterday. In this eye-opening episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, Dana Kay unpacks one of the most overlooked biological stressors driving ADHD symptoms: delayed, invisible food reactions. If you've ever felt like your child's behavior shifts overnight — same child, same house, same rules — this episode explains what may actually be happening beneath the surface. Dana walks you through the full biological chain reaction: trigger foods, IgG-mediated immune flares, cytokine release, gut inflammation, intestinal permeability, and how inflammation travels upstream to the frontal lobe. She explains how symptoms like meltdowns, rigidity, emotional volatility, and impulse control struggles often begin days before the behavior appears. You'll also learn about opioid-like food peptides formed from gluten and dairy (gluteomorphin and casomorphin), how artificial dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 5 have been shown in studies to worsen hyperactivity, and why guessing at food changes often leaves parents exhausted and confused. This episode introduces Biological Stressor #3 inside the ADHD Thrive Decoder framework: Invisible Food Reactions. Most importantly, Dana helps you shift from "What's wrong today?" to "What touched their system yesterday?" — a mindset change that can quietly change everything.

What happens to e commerce when AI agents start shopping instead of humans?Maju Kuruvilla, Founder and CEO of Spangle, joins the show to unpack a shift most companies are not prepared for. If AI agents become buyers, the entire digital shopping experience must change. Websites today are designed for human psychology, not machines making decisions.In this conversation, Maju explains why context is becoming the most important layer in commerce. From marketing clicks to storefront visits, most companies lose the context that originally inspired a purchase. The future belongs to systems that can capture, carry, and act on that context across every channel. The discussion explores agent driven shopping, the limits of traditional customer data systems, and how AI can reshape both online and physical retail experiences.Key Takeaways• Context matters more than identity. Knowing what someone is trying to do right now is often more valuable than knowing who they are.• Most e commerce experiences reset the customer journey. When someone clicks from an ad to a site, the original inspiration is usually lost.• AI agents will shop differently than humans. They are not influenced by visual design or marketing psychology the same way people are.• Commerce will not become fully agent driven. Instead, brands must design experiences that work for humans, agents, and hybrid interactions.• Physical retail may benefit the most from AI driven context because stores can blend digital signals with real world behavior.Timestamped Highlights00:00 Why the next generation of e commerce will be built for AI agents, not just human shoppers.02:08 The hidden problem in online shopping today. Most websites lose the context that brought the customer there.06:11 Buyer agents and seller agents. How commerce may evolve into AI systems negotiating purchases.11:38 Why a simple request like “buy a red sweater” is actually a complex problem of interpretation and context.16:30 How AI could transform physical stores through dynamic recommendations and real time shopping guidance.22:30 Why collecting endless customer data might be the wrong approach to personalization.27:59 The future of autonomous shopping and why personal AI agents may eventually handle everyday purchases.A Moment That Sticks“Context is what matters. The fact that I bought a TV before is interesting, but not important. What matters is what I am trying to do right now.”Practical Insight for BuildersIf you are building AI driven commerce tools, start with the product layer.According to Maju, the foundation is making your product catalog intelligent. AI systems need rich product understanding so they can match intent with inventory. Once the catalog becomes machine readable and context aware, everything else becomes easier to automate.Call to ActionIf you enjoyed this conversation, follow the show and share this episode with someone working at the intersection of AI, commerce, or product development.New conversations every week with the builders shaping the future of technology.

This data-driven approach to content creation is presented as the cornerstone of a successful content strategy.The discussion then shifts to the technical aspects of website performance, highlighting the significance of structured data (schema markup) and the Open Graph protocol.

The episode also touches on the latest trends in web design, mentioning innovative tools like PeachWeb, Spline Design, and Dora that are shaping the future of web development.A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to a real-world case study, where Favour shares impressive growth metrics from a client who doubled their website traffic and saw a massive increase in image search impressions by focusing on technical SEO and content structure. This practical example serves as a powerful testament to the effectiveness of the strategies discussed.The conversation also features a guest, Tree, who shares her struggles as a small business owner in the tree service industry.

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Priyadarshini "Priya" Basu of Washington State University to discuss two major topics shaping the future of beekeeping: the upcoming COLOSS North America meeting and the evolving science of honey bee nutrition. COLOSS (Prevention of Colony Losses) is an international nonprofit network of more than 2,000 honey bee researchers across 113 countries. For the first time, a multi–task force North American meeting will be held June 6–12 at Washington State University in Pullman. The event will bring together researchers, beekeepers, veterinarians, inspectors, and growers to discuss nutrition, pathogens, pesticides, climate change, and landscape impacts on honey bee health. Workshops, tours, and hands-on sessions will provide practical learning opportunities for attendees at all levels. Priya also shares updates from her lab's nutrition research, including pollen landscape mapping across North America, micronutrient analysis, supplemental forage strategies, and how nutrition interacts with stressors like pesticides and disease. The discussion covers practical considerations for trapping and storing pollen, differences between pollen substitutes and supplements, winter feeding strategies, and how nutrition influences brood production and colony resilience. This episode connects cutting-edge research directly to real-world beekeeping decisions — from hobbyists to commercial operations.

Buried. Sealed. Denied. Veteran crash-retrieval investigator Ryan S. Wood joins Richard Syrett to trace decades of leaked documents, witness testimony, and multinational recovery operations pointing to objects not made by human hands. Is this revelation genuine disclosure, strategic psy-op, or the first crack in a planetary cover-up? If something too large to transport crashed, where did they hide it today. GUEST: Ryan S. Wood is one of the world's leading investigators of UFO crash-retrieval evidence and classified disclosure-era documents. A systems engineer and longtime aerospace researcher, he has spent decades assembling and analyzing thousands of pages of leaked memoranda, witness testimony, and technical reports pointing to a covert, multinational effort to recover and study non-human technology. Through projects like MajesticDocuments.com and UFOdex, Wood has become a central archivist of the hidden history behind alleged retrieval programs—and a relentless seeker of what governments may know, and conceal.
