Podcasts about Yvanna Cancela

I want to thank my very last Here Weed Go! (At least when it comes to the Arizona Daily Star edition) guest Sean Williams for coming onto the show. Read his story Purple Haze in Harper's Magazine too! We actually spent most of October and the beginning of November trying to figure out how to make our interview work, because Sean lives full-time down in Australia, and of course, on top of walking around upside down, the Aussies are like 18 hours ahead in the future, or something like that. But it was great to finally get to sit down and talk with Sean, and hear about what it takes to really get into reporting there, on the spot, on the scene. Not to make a direct comparison to what Sean does, because he has to travel to far away lands into literal war zones or occupied territories, but I'll be doing a lot of on the spot reporting in my new job. To start, beginning on January 16, I'll begin my new broadcast television career as a multimedia reporter for KGUN9 here in Tucson. That means pre-recorded stories and live-on-camera look-ins for me. I'll be making my living off the evening news, as Don Henley might say. So, if you live in the Tucson area and have cable television, you'll actually be seeing a lot more of me. It just won't be all weed, all the time. And I am OK with that. But I will miss this job, this role, forever. There won't be a day that I won't have some memory of this magical one year and eight months jogged.  My move to TV of course means that, as of 11:01 p.m. on January 11, 2024 I am no longer an employee of Lee Enterprises or the Arizona Daily Star, and thus no longer the host of Here Weed Go! and curator of TucsonMarijuanaGuide.com. At least, for now, anyways. While the name "Here Weed Go!" and all the episodes, content and stories I created under that name will forever be the property of Lee Enterprises, I haven't completely closed the door to producing, hosting, editing and distributing an interview-based podcast focused on the cannabis industry on my own. In fact, I have a few episodes saved I will eventually release, perhaps here under the Here Weed Go! banner or under a new, spiritually related banner. When I'm ready to establish that new show back in the cannabis space, you'll know about it. Especially if you follow me on Instagram at @ReporterEddieTravels. In the meantime, for the next few months, I just need to commit myself to some other moving parts in my new role on television, reporting live and making mini-news-documentaries 3-to-5 nights a week before taking on the podcast mantle again, though I love it dearly. But to all my friends out there in the Tucson and Phoenix cannabis community, don't worry: I'll still be out at all the AZCannafriends events and vendor fairs that I can, and I will still be looking for a great story to let Tucson know about. Before I close this out, I want to give a shout out to a few people, the ones who really made this crazy experiment possible. To my mother (and first real guest!), Samantha Longenbaugh, thank you so much for always being a fan of the show and everything I do. There were many phone calls you told me to keep my head up and spirit high, and they all paid off with, what is up to now, the best job I've ever had. And you were the best guest I ever ended up interviewing. To Yvanna Cancela, I owe you so much for introducing me to the Las Vegas cannabis community before MJBiz in 2022. You were the first person to really give me the idea to mix my weed and travel stories, and I will forever be grateful for that. To Chris Law and Pascal Albright, your efforts to edit my rambling question/answer sessions into coherent, cogent interviews will always be appreciated. Especially now that I do all that editing of said rambling myself! The industry is small, so here's to working together again sometime in the future. And finally, my biggest thanks are reserved for my former editor-in-chief and biggest professional advocate: Jill Jorden Spitz. Jill, thank you so damn much for taking a chance on cannabis content here at The Star, and thank you so much for taking a chance on me. Before I somehow stumbled into what I once called "The Best Job in The World," I was working the breaking news beat, the very same beat I'll be leaving Thursday. I had pitched an idea for a pot podcast earlier, but word about development on such a project seemed to have stalled. Dissatisfied with the role at The Star, I pursued an offer to become a business reporter in Austin, Texas, and was deciding between staying or leaving. A few hours after being offered the job in Texas, Jill called me to let me know she had approval from corporate to run with the podcast idea. It was all a go, if I wanted it. Although the pay in Austin would have been higher, and the nightlife more my speed, I knew what my answer was going to be. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to cover cannabis becoming legal in my home sate. It was going to be the best job in the world. And it was. "We're gonna change the world," I told her. I hope, with this crazy project of mine, I at least changed your world in some way. If I did, or you want to hear what I'm up to in my new job, you can email me at epcelaya@gmail.com    And don't forget, keep smoking and proving them wrong.

On this episode, we go over what preventative steps for COVID you can take if you or someone you know ended up traveling for Thanksgiving. Also, we talk about Biden’s inaugural committee (bideninaugural.org) and nominations for his economic advisers. Then, we discuss Mark Kelly’s swearing in and our pet project: the Utah monolith. ----more----For more, visit our website: https://www.quicknewsdaily.com/ Mostly accurate transcript:IF YOU TRAVELEDI want to start out the show by sharing recommendations from experts about what steps to take if you or someone you know actually did end up traveling for Thanksgiving. I also want to make it clear, there’s no judging if you did, or if a close family member did; just make sure you or they take the proper precautions going forward. Dr. Deborah Birx, who’s sort of the head of the White House COVID task force since she’s a little kookier than Dr. Fauci, has several pieces of advice. First, if you traveled, assume you were exposed to the virus and that you’re infected. Second, make sure that if you develop any symptoms at all, you should get tested so that doctors can count it as a confirmed case. This isn’t some conspiracy theory to make the positive test numbers higher, it’s just so doctors can start treating you as a COVID patient; remember, the treatments we have now work best early in the disease, not when you’re about to go on oxygen. Admiral Brett Giroir is leading the federal government’s testing response, and he said that you need to be extra careful when you get home, but that you may not need to do a strict quarantine. He does say you should decrease unnecessary activities for a week, and get tested about 3-5 days after you get home. I’m going to step in here and say that if you can, just do the 10-14 day quarantine. We want to prevent as many infections as we possibly can. Dr. Abraar Karan from the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical school pretty much agrees. He said if you traveled but don’t have known exposure (so exposure confirmed by someone testing positive), you should quarantine for 10 days automatically. If you have known exposure, then quarantine for two weeks. He also recommends getting tested when you get back from traveling, as well as 3-5 days later. This is because it might take the virus a little while to incubate and actually create enough of itself to show up on a test. Dr. Karan stresses that quarantining correctly is also important. You should stay in your room as much as humanly possible, and wear a mask and avoid other people when you have to leave it. Just some more general information about what we can expect: the incubation period for the virus in your body ranges from 2-14 days, and people usually start feeling symptoms around day 5 or 6. This means that we’ll start seeing the effects sometime between the first and third weeks of December, according to Dr. Tom Frieden, who used to be the director of the CDC. And, obviously, if you test positive for COVID, make sure to tell everyone you saw at a gathering, or make sure whoever tests positive tells you. By the way, the CDC is actually studying if they should shorten the quarantine period from 14 days down to maybe something closer to 7-10. Surprisingly, this is supported by a lot of the leading doctors, including that Dr. Frieden (he’s the one I trust most because he was Obama’s CDC pick). He says that the most risky time for asymptomatic people is in the 4-7 days after being exposed. They’re looking at this change because it’s easier for people to swallow one week away from their normal lives, as opposed to two, so in theory they’ll follow the rules. Dr. Fauci even said that this two week period discourages people from getting tested because if they come back positive, they have to miss work, and people are pretty concerned about losing that pay. BIDEN/HARRIS UPDATESLet’s do a quick check in on the Biden/Harris Administration and what they’re working on. They announced yesterday that they formed the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which is a group that’s responsible for organizing inauguration-related activities. Delaware State University president Tony Allen was named the CEO, and Biden campaign chief operating officer Maju Varghese was named the executive director. Yvanna Cancela, a state senator from Nevada, and Erin Wilson, the Biden campaign’s national political director, will be the deputy executive directors for the committee. This group also announced the launch of their website, which is bideninaugural.org. They have a store with some cool merchandise in there (t-shirts, hats, water bottles, coasters, that sort of thing), and almost everything seems to be in the $20-$30 range, so it’s worth checking out. The website link is in this episode’s description. I’m actually pretty interested how this inaugural is going to be with COVID. It’s such an iconic moment to be sworn in on the steps of the Capitol, and there’s just Reagan’s second inaugural that looks different, in terms of the ones we have on video, since that had to be moved indoors because it was like 0 degrees outside. I would guess that everyone up there could be tested and cleared, but would you want to take that chance? And would that just be inviting crowds to gather? It’ll be interesting to see. As for their actual administration, I forgot to mention yesterday that Janet Yellen was officially announced as Biden’s nominee to be the Treasury Secretary, which was fun to see being made official. Wally Adeyemo was nominated to be her deputy after previously serving as the chief of staff of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as well as the deputy director of the National Economic Council and deputy national security adviser. If he’s confirmed by the Senate, he’ll become the first black deputy secretary of the Treasury. Just in general, it’s amazing how diverse President Biden’s administration will be. Especially since we just had four years of a cabinet that could have been from 1960. Every picture of meetings of the top leaders of government is like 96% old white guys with various stages of male pattern baldness. Speaking of inclusion, Cecilia Rose was nominated as the chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. She would be the 1st black CEA chair, as well as the 4th woman to do so. She’s currently the dean at Princeton. Other members of the CEA that were announced were Jared Bernstein, Biden’s top economic adviser during the Obama administration, as well as Heather Boushey, who’s the co-founder of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. As for what this Council of Economic Advisers does, they’re like a think tank; basically, they’re experts who will give Biden guidance on economic policy.MARK KELLYSomething cool to watch for tomorrow is Mark Kelly getting sworn in as a senator in Arizona. Since his race was technically a special election for John McCain’s old senate seat, not a regular election, he can get sworn in before January. If we look just a bit down the road, that’s sort of unfortunate because it means he has to run again in 2022, which could be tricky. Midterms are almost always best for the party that doesn’t control the White House, and in a state that usually votes Republican, it could get tough for him. However, he’s a really strong candidate (I mean, obviously he’s got great thoughts and ideas on the real issues, but he’s an astronaut for crying out loud), so maybe it’ll be easy for him. Let’s hope so. That swearing in ceremony is at noon eastern tomorrow, and I’m sure his team will stream it live on social media, but somebody out there will definitely have it live if you want to watch. MONOLITHSo, full disclosure, this story sort of breaks my rule of telling you only what you absolutely need to know, but I just can’t resist; it’s sort of a pet project for the show at this point. Of course, I’m talking about the monolith from the Utah desert. That one is still gone, but another one popped up in Romania of all places. This one might be a copycat because it’s located near one of the most famous mountains in Romania, it just got put up recently, it’s got swirling patterns on the sides, and it’s about 2 feet higher than the one from Utah. The ground around it also looks like someone was digging there recently, whereas the one from Utah was undisturbed, which is part of what made it so strange. My guess at this point is either someone in Romania saw this story online and wanted to make their own for some reason, or it’s part of some really bizarre marketing campaign by an indie movie, or something like that. It’s obviously getting a lot of free publicity, and I feel like some other movie did something like this where people found something that was strange, but then the director had to come out and fess up to it. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I’ll have to look that up later and see if I find anything, but email me at quicknewsdaily@gmail.com if you can actually decipher what I’m talking about. Oh, by the way, the monolith was actually in the Utah desert since 2016, but nobody actually cared much about it until just recently. ----more----Sources:So You Traveled Over Thanksgiving.

Trust. Everybody says it's the key to true democracy, and relationships. But it seems to be pretty elusive these days. Especially in Nevada, where the trust meter went off the scale this week. First, we were shown emails that showed CCSD Supt. Jesus Jara asking for the legislature to consider moving money from individual schools to the district's general budget, causing an uproar. Then he denied it, and blamed the state supt., Jhone Ebert, and Governor Sisolak. Then those two wrote a scathing press release essentially calling Jara a liar.Not long after that, CCSD Trustee Linda Cavazos called the State Dept. of Education and found out the Trustees had not been told the truth regarding reopening plans.Now Cavazos and two other trustees are calling for a special meeting to discuss Jara's employment, as two unions - including one that represents principals - have called on the superintendent to resign.Meanwhile, the legislature actually considered a tax proposal Thursday night into Friday morning. They argued vociferously about lowering the amount of deductions mining companies can take when calculating their taxes.It's something Republicans and Democrats have said they'd be open to. And it would have brought in $55 million dollars - roughly a fifth of our deficit.Alas, it failed along party lines at 2:30am on Friday. After over an hour of public comment.We're taking to Senator Yvanna Cancela and Assemblywoman Maggie Carlton about the vote and what it means for Nevada in a pandemic. And later on in the show, we'll talk to CCSD Trustee Danielle Ford.

As other states, especially in the south, scramble to ban abortion, Nevada lawmakers are moving in the opposite direction. Senate Bill 179, also known as the Trust Nevada Women Act, will decriminalize abortion as well as  remove a requirements for doctors to document a pregnant woman's marital status and tell her about the "emotional implications" of an abortion.

Welcome to Majority 54. We’re talking to the 54% of American​s​ who did not vote for Donald Trump about where we go from here. Senator Yvanna Cancela is a millennial union leader who thought she was headed for a much different destination. She listened to her calling and became the political director of Culinary Local 226, Nevada’s largest union. Now, Cancela has led protests, lobbied state lawmakers and played a pivotal role in turning Nevada blue last November when most of the nation wound up red.  We’re going to discuss how unions are perceived in America, both positively and negatively, and what the future of organized labor looks like. Hope you enjoy! Important links: @YvannaCancela @Majority54 @JasonKander hellomajority54@gmail.com Produced by Brock Wilbur

Yvanna Cancela planned to join the Peace Corps after college, but decided at the last minute to move to Las Vegas instead. Years of working for a union there taught her how important it is to fight for the rights of citizens and workers. That turned out to be good training when, in 2017, she was appointed to the Nevada Senate. She was just 30, and Nevada's first ever Latina Senator. ~~~ Yvanna says if you’re a women and you’ve ever had an inkling to run for office – now’s the time to do it! If you’re thinking about it, sheshouldrun.org is a great resource. ~~~ You can learn more about Yvanna here: www.yvannafornv.com/ ~~~ We post updates about the show and our guests on Instagram @arielhudes. ~~~ The artwork in our logo is by artist Caris Reid.
