Hey everybody! Episode 186 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Luis Eduardo Luna. Luis is one of the luminaries in the field of plant medicine as has a career that spans nearly seven decades. He has worked alongside and learned from some of the greats such as Richard Evans Schultes, R. Gordon Wasson, Albert Hoffman, Pablo Amaringo, the McKenna's, Dolmatoff, and many more. We spoke about his life growing up in Colombia, his early years in a Catholic monastery, how a chance encounter with Terrance McKenna and ingesting yagé changed the course of his life and work, and the extraordinary life he lived and created as one of the pioneers of researching the idea of plant intelligence and how indigenous groups of the Americas used plants to shape their cosmosvisions. It was a fascinating conversation and I was very happy and honored to have Luis on.

Send a textA county's name hides a better story than any barroom legend. We pull back the curtain on Colonel James Hobart Ford—the Union officer whose grit, speed, and stubborn discipline shaped the ground beneath Dodge City long before gunfighters made it famous. From Ohio roots to the Colorado Territory, Ford rose fast, helped raise the 2nd Colorado Infantry, and proved himself at Glorieta Pass, where Union forces stopped Confederate designs on the Southwest. Then came the crucible: the Kansas–Missouri border, where guerrilla raids and burned homes defined the fight and where Ford's aggressive command went head-to-head with bushwhackers like Quantrill.We follow Ford into the decisive sweep of 1864, where his leadership mattered at the Battle of Westport and across the pursuit of Sterling Price, driving Confederate hopes out of Kansas and back into Arkansas. As the Civil War shifted to the plains, Ford took command of the District of the Upper Arkansas, often working from a tent under open sky. Here the mission changed: protect the Santa Fe Trail, balance settler pressure against Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Kiowa resistance, and hold a fragile peace along a corridor that powered trade and migration. Out of this work rose a modest sod outpost that later became Fort Dodge, a linchpin for the region and a seed for Dodge City's explosive future.Ford died at 38, never seeing the cowboy capital take shape. Yet five years later, Kansas named Ford County in his honor—a recognition not of legend, but of logistics, patrols, and hard choices made along a dangerous border. We share archival insights from the Ford County Historical Society and the Ford County Legacy Center to bring his story to life: a portrait of a commander who traded romance for results and left a county that still bears his name. If you're ready to rethink Dodge City's origin story through the eyes of the soldier who secured it, press play, subscribe for more frontier deep dives, and leave a review sharing the detail that surprised you most.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

More than half of Connecticut's federal delegation is skipping the president's State of the Union tonight. All the snow we got this winter has put a strain on our region's road salt supply. A bridge in Westport is yours if you want it — you'll just have to move it yourself! Plus, a long-lost whale song resurfaces.

It's Ash Wednesday on The Rizzuto Show and apparently the only thing we're giving up for Lent is self-control.In this episode of your favorite comedy podcast, we celebrate possibly the weirdest St. Louis holiday ever: Cow Milked While Flying in an Airplane Day. Yes, that's real. Yes, it happened in STL. Yes, the milk was parachuted. We are not making that up. Welcome to history class, Rizz Show style.Then things immediately spiral into a deeply intellectual debate about our favorite body parts… which naturally becomes a “would you rather lose a hand or your dong” discussion. We tried to be body positive. We failed. Spectacularly.Speaking of failing, we dive into a wild story about insurance companies hiring private investigators to spy on people who file injury claims. Snowboarding while claiming a bad back? Bold move. We break down how insurance companies really operate, what gets people busted, and why maybe—just maybe—don't post your fraud on TikTok.It's also Lent, so the crew goes around the room declaring what they're giving up. Learn gives up the F-word (we'll see how long that lasts), Moon commits to no food after 7PM, and Rizz pledges to “add gratitude” which immediately goes off the rails. This is what spiritual reflection looks like on a daily comedy show, apparently.We also get into:Why swearing might scientifically make you strongerClean ways to insult someone when profanity is off the tableWhether cursing actually makes you vulgar (Rafe has thoughts)Weird “favorite band” confessionsAnd Rafe officially announcing his headlining shows at the Funny Bone in Westport over Easter weekendIt's chaos. It's Lent. It's dong math. It's neighborhood profanity therapy. It's everything you expect from The Rizzuto Show comedy podcast and absolutely nothing your priest would approve of.If you like sarcastic humor, weird news stories, pop culture commentary, and a daily comedy show that somehow always goes sideways, welcome home.This comedy podcast is proudly coming to you from 105.7 The Point in St. Louis — where we celebrate Thumb Appreciation Day and still manage to turn it inappropriate.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Here's how swearing can make you physically %$@#!-ing stronger41 DUI arrests by trooper dismissed after many drivers were deemed sober embarrassing failureDaughter Moves Wedding to Hospital So Terminally Ill Father Can Walk Her Down the AisleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show — your favorite chaotic comedy podcast broadcasting straight out of St. Louis — we celebrate one of the most important holidays of our generation: Thumb Appreciation Day. That's right. The digit that lets you text, game, hitchhike, and argue in comment sections finally gets the respect it deserves. Naturally, this turns into a completely unnecessary debate about favorite body parts, which spirals immediately into hypothetical amputation scenarios. Because maturity.But before we derail entirely, we dig into an actual piece of Saint Louis history: the anniversary of the 1930 aviation stunt where a cow named Elm Farm Ollie was flown in a plane and milked mid-air — with the milk parachuted down to spectators. Aviation innovation or Midwest flex? You decide.Then Rafe Williams officially announces his upcoming headlining run at the Funny Bone in Westport during Easter weekend. Yes, Holy Thursday through Saturday. Yes, new material. Yes, we tried to roast him about it. It's what we do on this daily comedy show.The second half of the episode turns into absolute chaos during the One Second Song Game. Classic rock riffs. Panic sweats. Led Zeppelin confusion. Nazareth vs. Grand Funk meltdowns. A Boston debate that gets way too passionate. And a clutch Pink Floyd guess that seals the deal. If you love music trivia and watching grown adults unravel over one-second guitar riffs, this comedy podcast delivers.As always, expect sarcastic humor, weird news, entertainment gossip energy, and that unmistakable Rizz and the gang vibe that makes this the best comedy podcast coming out of STL.You don't come here for polish.

We are so excited to welcome interior designer Elizabeth Bolognino to the show! With offices in Westport, Connecticut, and South Florida, Elizabeth is known for her signature "Layered Minimalism"—a style that blends clean, contemporary lines with traditional warmth and comfort. Elizabeth joins Caroline and Liz to explain why "minimalism" doesn't have to mean cold or empty: She breaks down the psychology of beige (and why it's actually good for your brain), her "secret sauce" for making neutral rooms interesting, and why she treats rugs like the "shoes" of a room. Plus, she shares her forecast for the next big kitchen trend: the "Unfitted Kitchen." Quick Decorating Takeaways: The "Touch Test" for Budgeting: When deciding where to splurge and where to save, Elizabeth has a simple rule: If you touch it, spend the money. Invest in high-quality sofas, fabrics, and rugs because you physically interact with them. Save money on items you only look at, like curtain rods, side tables, or decorative hardware. Rugs are the "Shoes" of the Outfit: Elizabeth believes you should never design a room from the top down. She starts with the rug because it grounds the space and dictates the palette—just like you wouldn't pick your shoes last when planning an outfit. Try an "Unfitted" Kitchen: To make a kitchen feel more like a living space and less like a sterile lab, Elizabeth suggests removing upper cabinets and using furniture-style pieces. Try swapping a built-in island for a large work table or using an antique armoire for pantry storage.

Is Origin Air and Westport part of a wider regional issue in rural New Zealand? Origin's Westport to Wellington flight is in jeopardy. It's not the first small airline in the first small town to face this trouble. In fact, as a result of this trouble, the Government set up the Regional Infrastructure Fund for essential air services. I suppose the key is the word "essential" – is Westport to Wellington essential? The fund, it is suggested, is going to turn the airline down. Why? I don't know. So we seem to have a rock-and-a-hard place scenario. Is life on the Coast about Hokitika? You can fly from there so is that good enough? Add the insurance issue on the Coast in and how many hurdles does a region need before it becomes a bit hard? Before you essentially just need a lot of Government support to keep the lights on? Of course it's the cold, hard reality of a small country with a small population that has decided, rightly or wrongly, to spread themselves out all over the place. Numbers matter. Planes need to be full, businesses need demand. The equation has to make sense. How much air connectivity is the right amount? What about freight vs people? What about product to market that requires speed, not the volume of a train or truck? How far should you have to drive? Hokitika is not far away. In fact, it could be quicker to go from Westport to Hokitika than it is from the North of Auckland to the South of Auckland where the airport is. We do, once again rightly or wrongly, expect a lot in small town New Zealand. We love the quiet of the country and rural New Zealand, just with all the first-world services and conveniences, if you wouldn't mind. It's also true to say that small towns all over the world have the same issues. Places like Australia with its size, even more so than us. But if you don't have an air link and you don't have insurance and you can't find a GP and the dentist is in the city on the other side of the alps, you get to a tipping point where it all starts to become a bit hard. Is the Coast, or parts of it, in danger of that very scenario? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey everybody! Episode 183 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Thoryn Stephens. Thoryn is the CEO and founder of Brain.One which is doing really interesting work in human optimization. We sat down and spoke about his life, how, as a young man, he came across huachuma in Ecuador and how that had a transformative impact on him, various other plant medicines, consciousness, BCI and AI, his work as a molecular biologist, and the future of technology. It was a really interesting conversation, and I think Thoryn has a lot of wisdom and insights to share.

Blenheim residents say AA Insurance has stopped offering new home insurance policies in their town, following similar decisions in Westport and parts of greater Christchurch. The insurer would not confirm that Blenheim and the neighbouring settlements of Renwick and Seddon were subject to its temporary halt. Insurance Council CEO Kris Faafoi says the insurer is still supporting their current customers, and it's important for people to shop around. "They all make their own business decisions about how much exposure they want to have on their books." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AA Insurance's decision to stop offering new home insurance policies in Westport due to flood risks has prompted discussion about the future of climate-based buyouts. There's been debate over whether the Government will fund buyouts for homeowners living in areas at risk for weather damage, with many experts ruling the move as unlikely. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says there's a Natural Hazards scheme in place for homeowners impacted by flooding or landslides - and it's important to ensure people have the right insurance measures in place.

According to Westport residents the AA insurance announcement yesterday is not the start of their troubles at all. They've been having trouble with insurance for ages even before AA decided to stop issuing new cover. Westport resident Glenys Elley told Heather du Plessis-Allan that, "Even if a company has a policy, it doesn't guarantee that they will continue that policy on." She says that some people were fine with the application process for insurance until they entered their postcode, at which point the application was denied.

There's a belief there may come a point when insurers' goodwill runs out in areas most exposed to climate risk. AA Insurance has told Buller District Council it's temporarily stopped offering new home and landlord cover in Westport due to flood risk, though existing policies can still be renewed. MinterEllisonRuddWatts insurance partner Andy Horne told Mike Hosking it's unusual for an insurer to be this open. He says the reality is insurers are increasingly making risk-based decisions about where they'll offer cover. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We end the week with a reality check. I was a bit underwhelmed by the Government's response to the last couple of week's weather events. $2 million is not a lot of money, which in a way is good because it indicates the damage isn't that bad. The damage is that bad. It's just the big stuff, the roads and bridges and infrastructure, is being paid for out of contingency budgets in various Government's departments. Fine. But as I asked, and got no real answer to, is that the plan, is it? Build it, watch it get destroyed, patch it up, watch it get destroyed and patch it up? It's not my favoured plan. I asked Penk, Mitchell, and Luxon what the big picture is. There is one, they reassure us. Not sure of a timeframe, which is political speak for "it's on the never-never". Yet in the Post from AA Insurance to the Buller District Mayor is the news they will be suspending cover for the region. No new business in the postcode of 7825, Westport, Carters Beach, and Cape Foulwind. This is where this goes. Just how many letters from how many insurance companies do you want before the big calls need to be made? Matata should have been the red flag and that started 20 years ago. Already Wellington, for other reasons, has insurance issues. The Upper Hunter Valley in New South Wales has been dealing with it for years. Even if you can get cover, it's at least $50,000 a year. There are, rightly or wrongly, sadly or not, chunks of the country that look problematic. Ignoring them or relying on an ever-increasing contingency budget is not going to make them any less so. The Government.is always the last port of call in crisis. The taxpayer will always be the one asked to provide the accommodation and bridge and food when the climate tips life upside down. Federated Farmers said it's not acceptable to have State Highway 2 to Waioweka cut off. Correct, it isn't. But the Government's answers are more band aids. AA Insurance's answer is no more cover. One of them is missing the point. One of them is showing you how this unfolds. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Cindy Mitchener and Andie McCombs. First up, as it's the anniversary of the Auckland Anniversary floods, the panel talks to Amy who lost her home in harrowing circumstances. Three years on, she now calls herself a climate refugee. Then, AA Insurance says it will no longer offer new home policies to the residents of flood prone Westport. The former mayor of Buller, Jamie Cleine says central government needs to get on board plans to develop Westport's future resilience. And finally, Dr Samantha Marsh discuses a landmark US court trial involving TikTok, YouTube and Meta over claims the platforms deliberately addict and harm children.

In 1828, the poorest residents of Edinburgh vanished. Their bodies were sold to anatomists. When Margaret Docherty's body was found hidden in straw, it revealed that Burke and Hare, two Irish immigrants, had become serial killers.

A major insurance company has temporarily stopped offering new home insurance policies in Westport because of the town's flood risk. Climate change correspondent Kate Newton reports.

Long before we consciously think about it, we're already making choices. How much to push. When to stay quiet. What feels possible — and what feels off-limits. Most of those decisions aren't random. They're guided by beliefs we've been carrying for years, often without realizing where they came from.This episode of That Greenwich Life is an invitation to slow down and examine those beliefs — especially the ones LIMITING us. So many of the limits we accept as “just the way things are” aren't rooted in truth at all. They're inherited, learned, and reinforced until they feel immovable. But they don't have to be.My guest, Sarah Sadie Newett, is the founder of SSN, an award-winning movement practice studio in Westport that has built a deeply devoted community of people who return week after week — not just for physical results, but for transformation. She has decades of professional experience as a dancer and aerialist and has performed alongside artists including Lady Gaga, The Roots, and Lil' Kim. She has collaborated with major wellness and fashion brands such as Max Mara, Alo Yoga, Rhone, and Beyond Yoga. Through movement and her own journey of sobriety, Sarah helps people challenge long-held assumptions about their bodies and abilities, creating space for confidence, trust, and possibility. Whether working with athletes, creatives, mothers, or high-performing professionals, her clients consistently leave feeling capable of far more than they imagined.This episode is about more than physical flexibility or strength. It's about what becomes possible when beliefs change — not just in thought, but in practice. Because when your beliefs evolve, the way you move through your life evolves with them.Thank You to Our Sponsors: • RMA of New York — our Season 2 Presenting Sponsor and leading fertility care provider • Jack Rabbits Gymnastics and Soccer Club — a beloved children's movement and enrichment space helping kids build confidence, coordination, and joy through play • Room for Paws Pet Resort — a trusted, full-service pet resort providing exceptional care and peace of mind for families and their furry family membersLet's Connect!If this episode inspired you, please follow, rate, and review That Greenwich Life so more women can find these conversations.
