Wren Baker is the 13th Athletic Director in West Virginia University history. It's fair to say none of his predecessors have navigated the changes and challenges that he's encountered. Forget about the “normal” requirements of the job, Baker is also leading WVU in the transition from college amateurism to a pay-for-play model.  It's uncharted territory for everyone involved and, for Baker, just another challenge that's being handled with both confidence and optimism. In this episode, the “Guys” dig deep into the new world of college athletics and learn Baker's plan for how WVU athletics will compete in a very new world.

19 years of combination experience. A Captain with Buckhannon Fire-Rescue in West Virginia. Cadre member with Insight Fire Training and adjunct instructor for West Virginia University extension. Like many others I've been fortunate to interview Firefighting wasn't on Joey's radar. While in college and being apart of a community service group the fire service came into the picture and Joey went for it starting out as a volunteer and then transitioning to a career Firefighter within a year. During his career Joey sought out the information he needed to be the best version of himself and for the fire service which unbeknownst to him led him down a path towards TIC's and the rest is history. I hope the conversations had between Joey and I can resonate with the listeners.IG: baxajl

Little has been heard from Zac Alley since his arrival in Morgantown.  West Virginia University's defensive coordinator is a rising star in coaching circles. You could say Alley's decision to join the WVU program is Rich Rodriguez's biggest recruiting coup yet. Alley's departure from Oklahoma gives Rodriguez the aggressive attacking nature that pairs well with his fast-paced offensive attack. In this episode, Alley reveals his motivation and goals in his role with the Mountaineers.  It's an insightful visit with Alley, who admits West Virginia University football changed his life before he ever arrived in Morgantown.

Bill McKenzie.It's a name that will forever be associated with West Virginia University football.  His story about life as a Mountaineer is as remarkable as improbable. The West Virginia kid from the small high school became one of the most recognizable names in WVU history with one single kick of a football. In this episode, Bill and the "Guys" celebrate the 50th anniversary of that play and the dividends it continues to pay. 

Send us a textWhat happens when 5,000+ geocachers descend upon Morgantown, West Virginia? Pure magic, unexpected friendships, and countless stories worth telling.Join us as we pull back the curtain on our Geo Woodstock 21 adventure – from the spectacular highs of performing our live podcast to a standing-room-only crowd to the technical woes that left our recording unusable (again). Before reaching Morgantown, Josh took a soul-stirring detour to Pittsburgh's Mr. Rogers statue where the beloved icon's voice still echoes beneath an arch overlooking the river – a moment he describes as "almost spiritual."Our Morgantown home base proved to be a geocacher's dream: a three-story Airbnb complete with hot tub (which Craig claimed immediately and repeatedly), arcade games, and ample space for late-night geocaching tales. We traversed the region collecting stamps for the Country Roads Challenge, discovered surprisingly exceptional margarita flights at Mountain State Brewing Company, and Josh fulfilled his destiny by donning full Barney Fife regalia at the Don Knotts statue downtown.The main event showcased geocaching at its finest – vendor halls brimming with gadget caches and trackables, a massive GPS maze chronicling the hobby's history, and the electric energy of thousands sharing their passion under one roof. The weekend crescendoed with Midnight Madness at West Virginia University, where our team of content creators squared off against Geocaching HQ staff in Family Feud, claiming victory despite Craig's memorable "nano" blunder that earned thunderous boos from the crowd.Whether you're planning for next year's Geo Woodstock in Hutchinson (near the world's oldest active geocache!), or simply love hearing tales of travel and community, this episode captures why these gatherings represent the heart and soul of geocaching.Have you experienced a Geo Woodstock yet?

When faced with the challenge of reviving a patient in cardiac arrest, paramedics rely on an arsenal of tools, techniques, and medications. Among these are two stalwarts of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS): amiodarone and lidocaine.   Although both drugs have long been included in protocols as viable options for shockable cardiac arrests, a new study published in Resuscitation sheds fresh light on their effectiveness, offering compelling insights into why lidocaine might deserve a closer look.   The research, led by Tanner Smida, MD/PhD candidate at West Virginia University, employed a meticulous approach known as “target trial emulation.” This method is designed to minimize bias in observational studies, aligning results more closely with what randomized controlled trials would reveal.   The study analyzed data spanning five years, from 2018 to 2023, drawing on over 23,000 cardiac arrest cases treated by EMS professionals in real-world settings.

In this episode, Doug Stuart chats with Chris Freiman, who's back on the podcast to discuss his new book, Libertarianism, the Basics. Chris is an economics professor at West Virginia University, and dives into the nitty-gritty of what libertarianism really is and brings us up to speed on some modern issues that libertarians care about.The two cover everything from why tariffs can get sticky—especially with Trump's policies—to the hot debate over living wages and immigration. Chris shares his take that maybe the world isn't as bad off as some people think, thanks to the free market and economic progress. He also brings some fun moments with Seinfeld references and talks about why he can't stay away from correcting economic misconceptions on Twitter (or X, as we're apparently calling it now).Listeners will get a kick out of hearing how his book, co-written with Jess Flanagan, tackles big questions in a way that's both deep and approachable. Plus, they ponder whether Elon Musk's new government efficiency venture will actually pan out and whether Musk is doing a good job or not. If you're looking to get a handle on libertarian ideas with a good mix of humor and thought-provoking discussion, this episode is for you. Tune in for a great conversation!

In this episode of Curing with Sound, James Mahoney, PhD, associate professor and neuropsychologist at West Virginia University, discusses the use of focused ultrasound for addiction treatment. Dr. Mahoney and the team at the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute are using neuromodulation to target the nucleus accumbens - the brain's reward center - to help patients with severe opioid use disorders who haven't responded to conventional treatments. The team recently published results from a clinical trial demonstrating that this innovative approach is not only safe but also effective at reducing substance cravings, decreasing actual substance use, and that these changes continued through a 90-day follow-up.  Discussion highlights: Adjunctive Therapy – The study uses focused ultrasound as part of an integrated treatment plan with patients also utilizing standard of care practices, including medication for opioid use disorder, and behavioral treatments, working with therapists and support groups. Comprehensive Benefits – Beyond reducing substance cravings, researchers noted increased treatment engagement among patients, and the return of more functional lifestyles, including reconnecting with family, and maintaining employment. Future Applications – Current research is expanding to other substance use disorders, including methamphetamine and cocaine, as well as behavioral addictions like binge eating disorder and gambling, with promising preliminary results.

Over the past several years, the debate around the 150-hour requirement for CPA licensure has centered on the need to streamline the accounting talent pipeline. But behind that discussion lies a broader, more ideological narrative—one that has been building over the past two decades—about the role of occupational licensing in general, and the CPA license in particular. In this episode of the FEI Weekly Podcast, we speak with Dr. Edward Timmons, Associate Professor of Economics and Founding Director of the Knee Regulatory Research Center at West Virginia University. As you'll hear, Dr. Timmons offers a unique perspective on the CPA licensure debate and breaks down the costs, consequences, and possible alternatives to the 150-hour rule—along with what reforms could mean for the future of accounting talent. Special Guest: Dr. Edward Timmons.

In this episode of The First Day podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., is joined by Geah Pressgrove, Ph.D., professor at West Virginia University and public relations maven-turned-research powerhouse, to explore the mighty mechanics of donor stewardship. Dr. Pressgrove pulls back the curtain on her groundbreaking 2017 research that distilled 26 donor engagement practices into five clear stewardship buckets: relationship nurturing, reporting, responsibility, regard, and recognition. These aren't just academic abstractions—they're real-deal tools nonprofit professionals can use to build better relationships with their donors, based on both personal touch and public acknowledgment. The discussion dives deep into the nuance of reciprocity, revealing that while public recognition might seem like a win, it can actually backfire, sparking donor mistrust if they suspect funds are being funneled into fancy galas rather than mission impact. Dr. Pressgrove emphasizes the difference between “regard” (a warm, personal thank you) and “recognition” (public displays of appreciation) and how both influence donor loyalty in different ways. Her research shows these stewardship dimensions don't just make donors feel good, they actually predict key outcomes like trust, satisfaction, and long-term commitment. Bonus points: the tools she developed are so practical, even nonprofits without research budgets can use them. Since publishing her original study, Dr. Pressgrove has expanded the research into global contexts—testing the stewardship model with museums, on websites, and through social media. She's observed how different nonprofit sectors (education vs. health, pets vs. religion) and generations of donors value different stewardship elements. For instance, younger donors crave responsibility and personal connection, they want to see their impact and be treated as partners, even if they're only giving $10. Meanwhile, older and high-capacity donors may appreciate traditional recognition, but only when it's thoughtfully tied to mission outcomes. One size most certainly does not fit all. The episode wraps with a passionate reminder that donor stewardship isn't just a nice-to-have, it's the linchpin of effective fundraising. If we chase new donors without nurturing the ones we have, we're basically buying new plants while forgetting to water the old ones. Bill backs this up with data: first-time donor retention hovers around 40%, but that shoots up to 70–80% after a second gift. In other words, love your donors and they'll love you back. Dr. Pressgrove urges fundraisers to embrace stewardship as a long game; personal, intentional, and research-informed.

1175 Unmasking the Climate Hoax: CO2, Lies, and the Fight for Truth For decades, we've been fed a dire narrative: climate change will drown us, scorch us, and end life as we know it—all because of CO2. But what if that's a lie built on shaky science and hidden agendas? In this explosive episode, Richard welcomes geologist and CO2 Coalition Executive Director Gregory Wrightstone, author of Inconvenient Facts, who dismantles the climate myth machine. He reveals how the EPA's Endangerment Finding strangles industries like coal and manufacturing, how flawed models exaggerate disaster, and why rising CO2 is actually greening the planet and boosting crops—not destroying it. From the economic wreckage of anti-fossil fuel policies to the political weaponization of science, Gregory exposes the elites' push for control under the guise of saving Earth. Tired of fear-driven propaganda? Want hard data over hysteria? This is the unfiltered truth they don't want you to hear! GUEST: Gregory Wrightstone is a geologist with over 35 years of experience studying Earth's processes. He holds a B.S. from Waynesburg University and an M.S. from West Virginia University, both in geology. As Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition, he advocates for a science-based approach to climate policy. Wrightstone is the bestselling author of Inconvenient Facts: The Science That Al Gore Doesn't Want You to Know and A Very Convenient Warming, challenging mainstream climate narratives with data-driven insights. A frequent media guest, he's appeared on platforms like Fox News and The Daily Wire, emphasizing CO2's benefits to humanity and the planet.

An improbable season continues to get better for the West Virginia University basketball team. The Mountaineers, picked 13th in the Big 12 preseason poll, have received an opening-round bye in this week's Big 12 Championship in Kansas City.  West Virginia earned the bye with a 72-65 win over UCF and Colorado's 76-56 victory over TCU.  WVU is seeded 8th and will meet the winner of the TCU-Colorado rematch in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. In this episode, the "Guys" analyze the victory over the Knights and preview the Big 12 tournament. Listener questions and comments complete the episode. 

"Actionable goals build. It's a mountain—recovery is a mountain. Think about the stops on that mountain that you need to make to get to the top.”   Millie Paladino had a successful, relatively injury-free collegiate career in running at West Virginia University and then Providence College, where she ran distances from 800 meters to 3,000 meters and was an all-American in the mile.   She turned pro and joined Team New Balance, and in 2021, made the final in the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in the 5,000 meters. But in the lead-up, a slowly developing injury began worsening, until in 2023 she had extensive surgery to correct a problem called Haglund's deformity, a bony growth on the heel that can damage the Achilles tendon.   Her recovery was longer than anticipated, changing her goals and challenging her spirit. But even on the more difficult days, Millie found ways to show up for her teammates and herself, developing a whole new appreciation for the person she was off the track. She invested in her relationships and even went back to school for urban planning (tune in to her about her cool running-related school project!).   Resources/links: Millie's Instagram Download the video for The Injured Athletes Club Recovery Summit: The Athlete's Toolkit A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 8 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!

In conventional political debate—particularly in Washington, DC—“law” is understood as top-down legislation: rules consciously designed and imposed by central authorities. John Hasnas challenges this unspoken assumption, pointing to the Anglo-American common law, a decentralized, continually evolving system that produces order without conscious design or political control. In his important new book, Common Law Liberalism: A New Theory of the Libertarian Society, he offers a theory of liberalism that demonstrates that the common law can serve as an effective alternative to traditional politically created legislation. Hasnas's thesis has implications ranging from modest (many government functions can be better supplied by the common law than by centralized legislation) to radical (if human beings do not need the state to make law, do they need the state at all?).Please join us for a discussion of this provocative new book featuring the author and Professor David Schmidtz, director of the Social Philosophy and Policy Center at West Virginia University, moderated by Cato's Gene Healy.

The skid is over for the West Virginia University basketball team.  Sunday's victory at Cincinnati snapped a three-game losing skid, and gave WVU more Big 12 road victories than it had in the previous three years combined.  (Yeah!) The Mountaineers will try for another league road win on Wednesday when they visit TCU. In this episode, the "Guys" dig deep in Sunday's game and preview the first of two regular season encounters with the Horned Frogs. Listener questions and comments complete the episode.
