August 13 Nuclear Renaissance: The Race for Small Modular Reactors | John Haughey
The future is here. A new generation of small, portable nuclear reactors is advancing so quickly that a nuclear-powered future is no longer a question of if, but when.
Executive orders, deregulation, and private investment have accelerated development of small modular nuclear units and microreactors. Several new designs have already achieved criticality this year, with more expected by the end of 2026—the first new U.S. designs to do so since 1973.
What is criticality? What’s driving demand for these portable units? Are they new technology or older concepts whose time is now? Where will these microreactors go? And, of course, how do their safety features address public concerns?
Welcome to Epoch Reports from The Epoch Times—one of America’s largest independent media outlets.
Join host Benjamin Trenerry and John Haughey, energy, defense, and infrastructure reporter for The Epoch Times, for a look into recent exciting advancements in portable nuclear reactor technology.

August 10 Beagles Rescued from Lab Pipeline Find Sunshine, Grass, and Forever Homes | Nanette Holt
Nearly 2,200 beagles grew up in stacked metal cages at a Wisconsin breeding facility, destined for research labs. They had never felt grass under their paws or sunshine on their backs.
This is the story of how those dogs were freed — after protests, political pressure, and the determined work of Big Dog Ranch Rescue — and how they are now discovering toys, couches, and the simple joy of being loved.
We explore why beagles are the preferred breed for laboratory testing, how recent changes in U.S. law and advances in alternative methods are reducing the need for animal testing, and why the fight is still far from over.
At its heart, this episode asks a deeper question: Are dogs still necessary in the creation of medicine for humans?
Join host Benjamin Trenerry and Nanette Holt, an award-winning freelance reporter covering issues of national interest for The Epoch Times, as they explore this moving tale.

August 03 Helen Comperatore: Searching for Answers 2 Years After Butler
July 13, 2024. Butler, Pennsylvania.
One of the most consequential days in modern American history — the day a 20-year-old man attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump.
A quieter, more devastating story from that afternoon belongs to Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief who was shot and killed while shielding his wife Helen and oldest daughter Allyson from the gunfire.
This episode details Helen’s search for answers: to questions about the shooter, security failures, and the moments that still refuse to make sense.
Epoch Times reporter Janice Hisle was on the ground that day. Here, she shares the lasting impact of what she witnessed and the bond she has formed with Helen Comperatore and the other survivors of the Butler rally.
Welcome to Epoch Reports from The Epoch Times — one of America’s largest independent media outlets.
Join host Benjamin Trenerry for a powerful look at that fateful day and its lingering impact.

July 27 On the Ground in Post-Maduro Venezuela | Marcos Schotgues
Journalist Marcos Schotgues has just returned from an undercover reporting trip to post-Maduro Venezuela. He brings raw insights into how one of Latin America’s richest nations collapsed into authoritarianism, mass hunger, and extreme poverty.
We dig into the country’s leftist history, the global communist network that built and sustained the Chávez and Maduro regimes, and why the U.S. finally decided enough was enough—and plucked Maduro from power.
This is a deep dive into how socialist ideologies crush everyday lives: brutal repression, starvation, and a mass exodus that tears families apart. Yet it’s also a story of profound resilience—a people toughened by hardship who now hold cautious hope as they work to escape authoritarianism for good.
Welcome to Epoch Reports from The Epoch Times—one of America's largest independent media outlets.
Host Benjamin Trenerry talks to Epoch Times Latin America correspondent Marcos Schotgues.
