A hiking ban in Nova Scotia is getting lots of attention this summer, from Joe Rogan to former Freedom Convoy supporters. Although the ban has now been lifted for parts of the province, the rules have ignited an international debate about government overreach during fire season. Some Nova Scotians are calling the criticism fearmongering and want outsiders to butt out of the province's affairs. We hear from an emergency management expert who says governments should prepare for more backlash against wildfire rules as the climate changes and summers become potentially more restricted.

August 30, 2025 - Wildfires by VOCM

Have you noticed especially hazy skies where you live over the last few summers? While many parts of the world are experiencing more frequent and intense wildfires, even places that are nowhere near the fires are being impacted by the smoke from fires hundreds or thousands of miles away. Wildfire smoke gets so high in the atmosphere, it can be blown across a continent in a matter of days. In this special bonus episode, we're going to learn the how and why of wildfire smoke that drifts around the world. And we'll talk a little bit about how to stay safe when air quality goes down. Our guests are Professor Joel Thornton of the University of Washington and Dr. Gregg Furie of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide | Transcript

Time now for our daily Tech and Business Report. KCBS Radio news anchor Holly Quan spoke with Bloomberg's Todd Woody. Fire crews in Napa County are continuing to battle the Pickett Fire, which has burned 6,800 acres and continues to threaten more than 200 structures. One Bay Area city is taking steps to minimize the risk from large fires for homes within its city limits. Berkeley is mandating homeowners maintain a Zone Zero.

Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast where we examine James 3:5–12, as he uses vivid imagery of fire to show how the tongue—though small—can defile the whole person, spread destruction through gossip and slander, and be influenced by the old nature and the devil. In this remastered episode, we trace Biblical parallels and historical examples to highlight the danger and reach of sinful speech. Yet the episode also points to hope: the child of God, transformed by the new birth and led by the Holy Spirit, is called to a sanctified tongue that praises God and blesses others, with an invitation to accept Christ to avoid the eternal consequences of a real hell.

Wildfires and torrential rains kick things off, giving way to an unexpected deep dive into lawn care—think mowers, stubborn mushrooms, invasive roots, and the perils of septic tanks. The conversation meanders through the joys and woes of home maintenance: unblocking drains, swapping out bathtubs, and the unique challenges that tall folks face in the shower.Then the real thunder strikes with a full rundown of the Ozzy Finale. We dissect the lineup: who jammed with whom, why Sammy appeared, the mystery guest from that numbered band, whether Ozzy could truly deliver, Sabbath's chemistry, and Jake E Lee's elusive presence. Our verdict? Plenty to debate. We pull back the curtain on the business side of Ozzy Inc.—especially those notorious songwriting credits, or the glaring absences thereof. Did the Blizzard of Ozz rhythm section get a raw deal? Where does Jake E Lee fit into the narrative?Just as Todd's yard troubles escalate, so does the drama: Vinnie Vincent enters the spotlight and the infamous Kiss contract he refused to sign. We break down the songwriting clauses, ask if Vinnie revitalized Kiss or got left in the cold, and trace his tumultuous ride from joining the band to his final departure. Playing devil's advocate, we also unpack the broader debate over singers and songwriters—do vocalists deserve the credit, or is the band bigger than any one front person?#MetalPodcast #RockTalk #OzzyOsbourne #BlackSabbath #KissBand #Songwriting #MusicBusiness #GuitarHeroes #VinnieVincent #MusicDebate Linktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksMerch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

Karrah Youngblood - Exposing A Predator: WildfireTW: Violence and sexual assaultKarrah Youngblood is a professional artist, single mom, and unexpected memoirist from Oklahoma. She never planned to be an activist, but standing up to the man who hurt her — and so many others — turned into a fight she couldn't walk away from.Karrah is now telling her story: The story of what happens when one woman refuses to stay silent, despite every reason to. Wildfire, A Memoir, is about how Karrah Youngblood stood up to one of the most documented predators in modern history – and to the systemic injustice that protected him at every turn. In Karrah's own words: “My art has been featured by NPR, TMZ, and Comic-Con, but Wildfire is the creation I'm most proud of. Telling my story seemed like the obvious thing to do since a serial predator tried so hard to stop it. Writing and Publishing Wildfire feels like the closest form of Justice I will ever receive.

State Lawmakers have paved the way for Governor Newsom's redistricting plan to go before voters on a November ballot, but not all voters are sold on the idea of taking a partisan approach to draw up California's district map--even if Texas plans to do the same in an attempt to tip the mid-term elections in the GOP's favor.
