As fires burn across the prairies, our guest describes the moment she had to evacuate her community, and the nightmare she and her neighbours have been living through since. Elon Musk announces he's turning his focus away from Washington and back to his companies -- and a Washington reporter takes stock of the Tesla tycoon's adventures in government. The Ontario Hockey League's top team hasn't had an ostensibly mandatory sexual violence prevention training in years. And our guest says that's especially disappointing given the reckoning happening in the sport right now. Some investors are using the acronym TACO -- as in "Trump Always Chickens Out " -- to describe the president's tariff flip-flops. And the journalist who coined was flabbergasted to hear it denounced by in the Oval Office. And, we hear from the passenger who captured the mayhem that ensued when a pair of pigeons made its way into the cabin of commercial plane. As It Happens, the Thursday edition.

What if we could detect and suppress wildfires within minutes—not hours? In this episode of All Things Wildfire, we sit down with Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Dryad Networks, to explore the cutting-edge technology redefining wildfire defense. From solar-powered IoT sensors that detect fires in their earliest stages to SilverGuard, an autonomous drone system poised to revolutionize fire suppression, this conversation dives deep into the future of wildfire resilience.  We uncover how parametric insurance could reshape wildfire risk models and why collaboration between tech innovators and insurance providers is essential. Carsten shares Dryad's bold vision: a world where wildfires are extinguished before they can spread—using AI, sound wave suppression, and a fast-reacting web of intelligent systems.  Key Takeaways: Dryad's SilverNet detects ignition in minutes—before smoke is even visible. 85% of wildfires are caused by human activity, increasing the need for early intervention. Parametric insurance may unlock faster claims and incentivize prevention tech. Autonomous drones and sound wave suppression may be the future of firefighting. A call for industry collaboration to achieve fully integrated wildfire response systems. If you're in wildfire prevention, insurance, or technology—this is a must-listen episode.

Welcome to the second episode in our series about community-level wildfire resilience, supported by Fire Aside! We spoke with Fire Aside CEO and co-founder Jason Brooks about how Fire Aside—a home assessment platform that allows agencies to have direct 1:1 engagement with residents on resilience actions they can take—fits into bigger picture policy, data and decision making around community wildfire resilience in California and beyond.Fire Aside was developed in Marin County, CA alongside the county fire department there, a partnership that was spurred by Jason's own interest in improving the wildfire resilience of his own property and not knowing exactly where to start. That was in 2020—now, Fire Aside is being used by over 100 departments in nine states to increase the efficiency of their home assessment processes and improve engagement with residents who want to improve their defensible space and home hardening. It's become clear that increasing resilience actions at the neighborhood level, rather than just the homeowner level, is the best way to meaningfully reduce risk in the WUI, where fires often spread home to home rather than via vegetation; this scale piece is a huge part of what Fire Aside does, and is what makes it such a compelling technology in an era of urban conflagrations like those in LA this winter (or Boulder, Lahaina, Paradise etc before). Jason and I spoke about the impetus for developing the platform, as well as how it can potentially be utilized to help inform decision making and even funding needs at the city or county level. Down the road, the data procured from Fire Aside may even be useful in informing state policy or other big picture decision making. (Disclaimer: Fire Aside does not own any of the data that is compiled through the app/platform. Residents and departments using the platform own this data.)We appreciate Fire Aside's work and their support of this series on community resilience—if you or your organization are responsible for wildfire risk assessments, we really can't recommend this technology enough. A few action items!Consider following Fire Aside on Linkedin. Check out some Fire Aside testimonials on Youtube. Slightly unrelated but please consider supporting justice and exoneration for firefighter Brian "Hakiym" Simpson.

Ready to explore Flagstaff, Arizona? Today, we're diving into why this mountain town is a fab spot for LGBTQ retirees. Our special guest, Nancy Sullivan, spills the tea on everything from the breathtaking nature to the welcoming vibe for our community. We chat about the outdoorsy lifestyle, the rising cost of living, and how the climate's changing—spoiler alert: it's getting warmer! Plus, we'll dish on the arts, culture, and those delicious local eats that make Flagstaff a hidden gem. So grab your hiking boots, and let's get ready to fall in love with Flagstaff!Flagstaff, Arizona, is a hidden gem for LGBTQ retirees looking for a vibrant and welcoming community. With stunning natural beauty, outdoor adventures, and a climate that keeps things cool in the summer, it's no wonder that people are flocking to this high-desert paradise. Nancy Sullivan, a music professor at Northern Arizona University, shares her journey of moving from Seattle to Flagstaff for a job opportunity, and she hasn't looked back since. She describes the friendly atmosphere and liberal values that make Flagstaff feel like home, especially for those in the LGBTQ community. Retirees can enjoy a myriad of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and even horseback riding right from their doorsteps, thanks to the abundance of trails and parks. Nancy's enthusiasm for her small ranch outside of town, where she lives with her wife and their animals, paints a picture of a life filled with adventure and tranquility. The climate in Flagstaff is another standout feature, especially for retirees who prefer a cooler environment compared to the scorching heat of Phoenix. Nancy discusses the high-desert climate, the changes due to climate change, and how the elevation impacts the weather patterns. She stresses that while the winters can be snowy and cold, they also offer opportunities for winter sports, making it a year-round playground for outdoor enthusiasts. For those considering Flagstaff as a retirement destination, Nancy emphasizes the need to acclimatize to the elevation but reassures that the lifestyle is worth the adjustment. The community spirit and the beautiful landscapes are definite pros, making Flagstaff an attractive option for anyone looking to retire in a friendly and engaging environment.Takeaways: Flagstaff is a stunning place filled with outdoor activities, perfect for nature lovers who want to stay active during retirement. The cost of living in Flagstaff can be a bit high, especially housing prices, so plan your budget accordingly. The LGBTQ community in Flagstaff is incredibly welcoming, making it a safe haven for retirees looking for inclusivity. Climate change is impacting Flagstaff, with hotter summers and less snowfall, so it's good to be aware of changing weather patterns. Wildfires are a real concern in Flagstaff, and retirees should have a solid emergency plan in place. Transportation options in Flagstaff are pretty good, with a decent public bus system and lots of bike-friendly routes available. Links referenced in this episode:wheredogaysretire.com

In this week's episode of then & now, we present a recording of a recent panel discussion focusing on L.A. wildfires past, present, and future. This program is part of the “Why History Matters” series presented by the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Department of History—a series dedicated to the belief that historical knowledge is an indispensable, and often missing, ingredient in public debate.”Why History Matters: L.A. Wildfires Past, Present, and Future,” brought experts together to explore how historical and indigenous perspectives can reshape our understanding of wildfires, especially in light of the devastating Los Angeles County fires in January 2025. The discussion, anchored in the Fowler Museum at UCLA's “Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art” exhibition, interrogates prevailing narratives that frame fire solely as a destructive force, instead foregrounding indigenous epistemologies that recognize fire as a vital ecological process and a generational resource. Professors Hitoshi Abe, Gerald Clarke, Jr., and Char Miller distinguish three primary drivers of contemporary wildfire crises: climate change, fire suppression policies, and patterns of urban expansion into fire-prone landscapes. To more effectively mitigate and adapt to the escalating risks posed by wildfires, these panelists discuss ways to integrate traditional ecological knowledge with contemporary land management and urban policy.Moderator:Stephen Aron is the Calvin and Marilyn Gross Director and President of the Autry Museum of the American West. A specialist in the history of frontiers, borderlands, and the American West, Dr. Aron holds degrees from Amherst College (B.A.) and the University of California, Berkeley (M.A., Ph.D.).Panelists:Hitoshi Abe is a Professor in the Department of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of California, Los Angeles. Professor Abe is currently the director of Paul I. and Hisako Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies and holds the Terasaki Chair for contemporary Japanese study. In 2017, he established xLAB, an international think tank initiative that examines architecture's elastic boundaries and considers new possibilities through interdisciplinary collaboration in the study of the future built environment.Gerald Clarke Jr. is a Professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies and Special Advisor to the Chancellor on Native American Relations at the University of California, Riverside. He is an enrolled member of the Cahuilla Band of Indians and lives on the Cahuilla Indian Reservation. Gerald oversees the Clarke family cattle ranch and remains heavily involved in Cahuilla culture. Char Miller is the W.M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College. His teaching and research reflect his fascination with all things environmental.

Can we effectively limit wildfire risk or change the fire risk profile using deliberate grazing? Or is this just wishful, simplistic thinking: "Cows eat fine fuel so that stops fire, right?" These are questions that demand scientific answers, not just anecdotes or coffee shop opinions. Sergio Arispe has worked with other researchers in the Western U.S. to better understand numerous questions around grazing for fire control and to fine-tune the timing, duration, intensity, and frequency of grazing that is most effective in shifting the plant community toward fire resiliency. A current ranch-scale research project aims to understand winter grazing effects on cheatgrass populations and associated wildfire risk in the subsequent summer. This is a timely topic for most rangelands in North America and especially drier ecosystem types with any species of exotic annual grasses.

After the devastating 2020 Labor Day fires, the Oregon Legislature passed a bill that was supposed to lead to more wildfire awareness and resilience. It created a map of areas at high risk of fire. But that map led to a huge backlash from property owners. Now one of the democratic state senators who helped create the map is sponsoring a bill that would repeal it. We’ll talk to Jeff Golden, who represents the Ashland area, about why – and what should happen instead.

Join Jim and Greg for a special edition of the 3 Martini Lunch, as they spotlight some of the most underreported stories of 2025. Which critical issues are the media ignoring entirely? And when the stories are covered, what vital context is missing? Today, Jim and Greg each offer three key examples where the press is failing the public.First, Jim sounds the alarm on the national debt and the media's refusal to grapple with the long-term consequences of unsustainable entitlement spending. With Democrats now opposing cuts proposed by DOGE, the press is fixated on the political drama while ignoring the looming fiscal disaster. Meanwhile, Greg blasts the media for siding with illegals in deportation cases while downplaying or completely ignoring the violent crimes committed by individuals living in the U.S. illegally.Next, Jim flags the lack of serious reporting on China's growing aggression in the South China Sea, warning that the threat is real but getting very little coverage or condemnation. Greg turns to California, where wildfire victims are still waiting on government permits to rebuild their homes, just as he and Jim predicted would happen months ago.Finally, Jim asks why more Americans aren't demanding that U.S. colleges prioritize American students over international applicants. And Greg calls out the media's near-total silence on the brutal persecution and killings of Christians in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other parts of the world.Please visit our great sponsors:This spring, get up to 50% off select plants at Fast Growing Trees with code MARTINI, plus an extra 15% off at checkout on your first purchase!  Visit https://fastgrowingtrees.com/MartiniFuture-proof business operations with NetSuite by Oracle.
