LA/Portland Homeless Crisis and Wildfire Preparedness Debate. Jeff Bliss discusses how California hosts at least 50% of the nation's homeless, with numbers increasing, extending from downtown LA to Malibu. Homeless encampments pose a constant wildfire threat due to warming or arson fires. Developer Rick Caruso successfully protected his Palisades property by proactively investing in brush clearance, equipment, and private fire crews, offering a model for prevention. Portland also faces a severe homeless crisis and high office vacancy. 1910 DONNER LAKE

Welcome to our second episode with women and non-binary firefighters who have written books about their experiences working both in fire and on hotshot crews more specifically. Our guest for this episode is HOTSHOT author River Selby (they/them), who spent seven years as a wildland firefighter—four of which were as a hotshot—from 2000 to 2010. They've since gotten their undergrad and MFA (in fiction) at Syracuse, and are currently working towards a PhD in Nonfiction with an emphasis in postcolonial histories, North American colonization, and postmodern literature and culture. This unique background allowed River to create a phenomenally in-depth book that covers not only their own experiences of working on crews and personal vignettes of life on and off the fireline, but it also paints a rich history of different fire ecologies across the American West (and world), and how colonization and fire suppression in the Western US (and elsewhere!) have set the stage for our modern relationship with fire. In our conversation, River and I talked about how firefighting allowed them to heal and grow, in a way, from the addiction, homelessness and violence that they had experienced in their youth. We spoke about some of the more academic themes of the book, including how colonization really informed our modern culture of fire suppression and—by extent—the culture of hotshotting. We spoke about the importance of Indigenous practices and land stewardship in righting this ship, as it were, and chatted a bit about our own experiences with hotshot culture and how it framed our experiences on fire crews. Click here to buy River's book HOTSHOT: A Life on Fire!Click here to read an excerpt of HOTSHOT, which was published in High Country News in August.Click here for River's book tour dates over the next few weeks. Click here to support Life with Fire's Patreon, which is helping keep this ship afloat while Amanda is in grad school.

Have you ever won an argument but lost everything that actually mattered?You were right, they were wrong, you proved your point - but somehow you walked away feeling emptier, more disconnected, and further from peace than before you started. Here's what nobody tells you about the addiction to being right: it's a zero-sum game where everyone loses, and your ego would literally rather be correct than free. The problem isn't that you have opinions - it's that defending them has become more important than connecting with reality.This episode exposes why being right becomes more valuable than being happy (and how to catch yourself in that trap), the wildfire metaphor that shows how much energy you waste putting out fires you created by needing to be correct, and what actually happens to that energy when you stop burning it on ego battles. You'll discover the sugar test that proves when you're defending lies to yourself, why miracles only occur when there's zero self-interest in the miracle-worker, and the exact moment the speaker shifted from debating to dancing through conversations. Plus the brutal truth about victim mentality, regret as a guidance system, and why your cells are literally changing when you let go of rightness.Hit play to learn why the less opinions you have, the more genuine connection becomes possible - and what to do the moment you realize you've been defending lies.New episodes out every Monday and Thursday at 10 AM Eastern Time The Greek God Physique Blueprint - https://www.justinegliskis.com/The Greek God Physique Strategy Call - https://calendly.com/egliskiscapital/greek-god-physique-strategy-callEmail egliskis@pm.me to get in contact with meDiscover a podcast designed for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, offering insights on stress management, health and wellness, and overcoming imposter syndrome, while emphasizing work-life balance, energy alignment, and inner peace; explore topics like burnout recovery, business automation, scaling a business, business growth strategies, client management, mental resilience, overcoming anxiety, and achieving clearer thinking for sustainable success, using the blade of awareness, solving emotional dysfunction and unveiling the trickster within.

Tabitha Holman was diagnosed at 39 with de novo Stage IV breast cancer. Tabitha is an elementary school teacher, and mother of two young boys. At the time of her diagnosis, she was considered too young and low-risk to access a timely mammogram when she found her lump. Now she is focusing her efforts on advocacy in hopes of improving access to screening, research, and care. In this episode, Tabitha reads her essay “Hair Karma” from the 2025 Hair issue of Wildfire Journal. Her piece is about the emotional complexity of losing her hair during chemotherapy—just months after giving birth—and the surprising, full-circle moment that made her stop and wonder. April and Tabitha will talk about kindness, having cancer and being post-partum, and advocating for medical care that goes against the standard of care. They also discuss grief and living with MBC.

Novelist and screenwriter Bruce Wagner returns to discuss his exceptionally timely new novel Amputation—a strange, exuberant, and ultra meta work set against a topic I've talked about a lot this year, the January LA wildfires. Bruce, an L.A. native and prominent literary figure in the city, explains how the book came together in less than two months, why he resists “political novels” even when writing inside a political moment, and how language (not legacy) keeps him making art. We also talk about real-life figures who appear as characters (Stephen Colbert, Mayor Karen Bass, Debra Winger, and a Timothée Chalamet student double, among others), the surrealism of driving through miles of leveled neighborhoods, and the deranged comic-tragic chorus of the Nextdoor app. Bruce also reflects on being an L.A. “outsider who outsided his way inside,” why the book is opera, not noir, and what it means to keep walking the “narrow, burning road to the palace.” Guest Bio: Bruce Wagner is the author of fifteen novels, including the “cell phone” trilogy, The Marvel Universe, The Met Gala and Tales of Saints and Seekers, Roar: American Master, and now Amputation. A longtime Hollywood insider/outsider, he has written for film and television and is currently published by Arcade.

Wildfire smoke is deadly and getting deadlier. A recent study published in Nature estimates that if warming continues at the current rate, smoke exposure could kill 70,000 Americans a year by 2050… and researchers expect that Washington could feel some of the biggest impacts. Some researchers say the study points to some of the strongest evidence so far that climate change is endangering people in the United States. Smoke pollution can cause coughing and throat irritation, but it can also lead to long-term respiratory and heart issues. The West Coast in particular is expected to see the biggest increases in smoke pollution. So we’re bringing you another “ask a doctor” segment, where we ask medical professionals to give us the information we need to stay healthy.

In this episode, Raina reads her essay “I Wish I Cared Less” from the 2025 Hair issue of Wildfire Journal. Her piece is about the painful, exhausting, and at times almost comically intense world of cold capping, and what it looks like to want something so badly—not just hair, but agency, normalcy, identity—and to have to let it go. April and Raina discuss the act of surrendering, family support, maintaining appearances, and the language used around breast cancer.

Nine months after the January wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu, FEMA may destroy homes that survived the fire damage but do have smoke damage, due to new flood standards known as FEMA flood levels. A nine-year-old kid named Jameson went to a Phillies baseball game and caught a foul ball, then he gave the ball he caught to an 80-year-old woman, because she's “way older.” Three people have been charged with stealing more than $40,000 in FEMA disaster relief funds meant for displaced residents who were impacted by LA's January wildfires.

Good morning, I'm Cedric and this is your EM Morning Brief for Tuesday, September 30th, 2025. Hazardous surf and rip currents impact the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic due to Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda, with limited U.S. coastal impacts mainly to surf and minor coastal flooding. Wildfire activity continues in the Pacific Northwest and California, with updates on evacuations and containment efforts. The USGS reports no damaging earthquakes in the past day. Congress has yet to reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program, potentially affecting home closings in flood zones. State-specific updates include air quality advisories in Texas, high surf and rip current warnings in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, and wildfire containment statuses in Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, and Hawaii. Stay tuned for more in-depth updates throughout the day.00:00 Introduction and Invitation to Share Your EM Story00:17 Hurricane and Tropical Storm Updates00:47 Wildfire and Seismic Activity Reports01:13 National Flood Insurance Program Status01:36 State-Specific Updates01:38 California Wildfire Containment02:05 Texas Air Quality and Weather Conditions02:28 Florida Coastal Hazards02:47 Georgia Coastal Advisory03:07 South Carolina Coastal Advisory03:24 North Carolina Coastal Advisory03:43 Washington Wildfire Incidents04:06 Oregon Wildfire Incidents04:25 Hawaii Fire Status04:38 Wyoming Fire Status04:56 Conclusion and Continuous UpdatesShare your story, Operational Tales - https://emnetwork.substack.com/p/operational-talesSources[NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIATCPAT4.shtml][NIFC IMSR | https://www.nifc.gov/nicc-files/sitreprt.pdf][USGS Latest Earthquakes | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/][Newsweek | https://www.newsweek.com/americans-flood-insurance-lapse-10795860][Yahoo/Consumer | https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/government-shutdown-could-disrupt-flood-225856344.html] Yahoo+5National Hurricane Center+5National Hurricane Center+5][NWS FWD/HGX WWA — Ozone Action Day | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=hgx&wwa=all][NWS HGX Fire Weather note | https://www.weather.gov/hgx/][NWS Melbourne coastal hazards | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=FLZ141&product1=High+Surf+Advisory][NHC Imelda Advisory | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIATCPAT4.shtml][NWS Charleston hazards | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=SCZ050&product1=High+Surf+Advisory][NWS Jacksonville/CHS coastal statements incl.

In case you missed it, last week was NY Climate Week. There were well over 1,000 events — from summits with CEO and heads of state, to film screenings, concerts, parties, boat cruises, pitch sessions, hackathons and much more. I tried to sum up my experience at New York climate week in a special episode two years ago. This year, of course, the context was different with a US administration no longer interested in climate, and a lot of green hushing, hand wringing and new language that aims to be less politicizing.To me, one of the most interesting things about NY Climate Week is that it's not the only one. Climate weeks are spreading. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, San Diego, Shanghai, Bangkok, Panama City all have climate weeks. There might be dozens more in the works. No city on the planet is immune from the impact of climate, and most cities have thriving ecosystems of organizations, innovators, investors, policymakers, researchers and more working to advance climate solutions and adapt to a changing planet. In this conversation I'm joined by Nishant Mani and Dan Thorman, co-founders of the LA Climate Week. Nishant and Dan saw a need to bring together their community. They volunteered to lead and have built LA Climate Week into a successful example that people anywhere can follow to create their own week of solidarity, learning and action. We talk about their backgrounds, the founding story of LA Climate Week, the impact of the LA wildfires on last year's event, lessons they've learned and much more. So whether or not you were in New York last week, I hope you'll enjoy this conversation and consider how you can help your local climate community wherever you are.

High-severity wildfires that burn communities are obviously bad. But what about high-severity fire that burns in the backcountry? Guest Dr. Dick Hutto, Emeritus Professor of biology and wildlife biology at the University of Montana and author of the recently published book A Beautifully Burned Forest: Learning to Celebrate Severe Forest Fire, makes the case that high-severity fire has been unfairly demonized and this fire forms an important and transitory habitat type. Rethinking high-severity fire has policy consequences. Do we invest as heavily in fire risk reduction for wildlands or is funding better spent in and near communities? Do we invest as heavily in fire suppression where fires are burning far from human habitations? And what do we do after fires burn—do we log and replant or leave it be? Listen to hear Dr. Hutto's prescriptions.Want to learn more? Check out Dr. Hutto's website on fire ecology. Support the show

The Dodgers dominated with an 8-0 shutout over the Diamondbacks, clinching their 12th NL West Division title in 13 years. Meanwhile, an after-action wildfire report revealed no single point of failure in L.A. County's January evacuation efforts. Huntington Beach Police Chief Eric Parra highlighted low crime and homelessness rates, while also discussing plans for 90 acres of new development and restaurants in the city.

Have the Brits gone too far enforcing draconian free speech laws when it comes to social media? Yes. Is this story not the same as people have been claiming it is? Also yes. The assassination of Charlie Kirk has become fertile ground for people to birth their conspiracy theories. From Israel to disappearing bullets to fake text messages, we're separating fact from fiction.GUEST: Josh FirestineLink to today's sources: https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/sources-september-22-2025Buy the OG Mug Club Mug on Crowder Shop now! https://crowdershop.com/products/og-mug-club-mugLet my sponsor American Financing help you regain control of your finances.
