Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Evan Schneider, Mark Hoffman and the new film, 'A Simple Machine'
Q: What has it been like having your book turned into a film coming up to Portland, film that's being played all over the country in these different film fests?
It's been wild and moving to see dialogue and scenes from the book translated to the screen, with the film capturing the internal themes visually through acting, cinematography, and a restrained score, while also honoring the book's core ideas about self-reliance and personal freedom.
Bicycle Racing in Oregon with Chuck Kenlan
Q: What new initiatives should enthusiasts look out for in the 2026 season?
Expect the return of key championships across disciplines, including time trial championships in the Dalles Omnium weekend, mountain bike championships at Sister Stampede, and the Criterium Championships in the Lloyd District, plus ongoing support infrastructure like the equipment trailers and a steady calendar to boost participation across cyclocross, road, and gravel.
Bicycle Racing in Oregon with Chuck Kenlan
Q: So Chuck, what are the main health indicators for OBRA right now, and how is membership trending?
Membership and racer days have grown overall, with more OBRA members racing more often, although there was a slight decline in unique, non-member racers, likely due to economy and travel patterns; the organization remains focused on supporting promoters and keeping racing accessible.
Massive New Cost Estimate for Interstate Bridge Project
Q: What does that mean for the project, though?
Cortright discusses the financial crisis facing the project, indicating a possible funding gap of $5 to $14 billion.
Massive New Cost Estimate for Interstate Bridge Project
Q: What is that new number and how did you go about finding it?
