BYM, baby. This week, Greg interviews Taylor Barnes, a field reporter with Ink Stick Media who focuses on military affairs and the defense industry.
In her work, she uncovered a connection about how the LDS Church, known for its humanitarian focus, has quietly invested in defense giant Northrop Grumman through its multibillion-dollar fund, Ensign Peak Advisors. Greg is here to talk to Taylor about that reporting.
You can find Taylor's excellent piece here:

#168 – Solidarity on the Mountain w/ Park City Ski Patrol Union
So this is the new year. And I know a lot of things don't feel any different. And honestly, a lot of things have gotten worse.
But not with this episode. No chance. In this one, Kyle and Greg interview Joe and Tate from the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association, a union of ski patrollers that work at Park City Mountain Resort that was able to successfully pressure Vail Resorts (the corporation) into coming to the table to negotiate a new contract. We catch up with the two of them to discuss what got them into ski patrolling, the contract dispute they've been in with Vail for a year, and what it's like to go on strike during one of the biggest weeks of the year for the company and the resort.
This saga with the PC Ski Patrollers and Vail has shown the benefit of unions and the power of solidarity. Things we love to see!

#165 – The Finish Line Feat. Josh From TWOAPW
Episode Notes
Holy lord, we made it. Election Day.
Anyway, against our better judgement Greg and Jordan did an episode with Josh from The Worst of All Possible Worlds Podcast to look into the last few weeks of the Trump Campaign and make predictions that will either make us seem like prophets or the dumbest people on earth. Time will tell!
You can find Josh on Twitter @boshj, or Bluesky at @bosh, and you can find The Worst of All Possible Worlds on their Website or any podcast source.
