| 8/7/26 |  THE Podcast: Updating Earnings Across Paint and the Akzo/Axalta Merger | I keep it short, since you might be sick of me by now but the paint news won't stop and so I can't either. Updated earnings from Big Paint and the merger between Akzo and Axalta, which cleared several milestones recently. Plus the bad news about inflation and as always highlighting Heidi's bullshit. | — | ||||||
| 8/3/26 |  Charges Dropped Against Olympian Accused of Damaging Reflecting Pool | Bonus episode this week because there was so much paint news. Charges have been dropped against David Hearn, plus what we learned about the peeling from the government's motion to dismiss. Which confirmed my reporting that the pool was already peeling before Hearn ever got there, though the document never mentions me by name, adding plagiarism to the list of charges US Attorney Janine Pirro may now be facing. Plus a new tranche of information for anyone following our national paint shame. If you make it to the end I tell you what it all means, though you may not want to hear it. | — | ||||||
| 7/31/26 |  Updating Rochester and the Reflecting Pool | I spent last week investigating the situation at the Reflecting Pool, which will continue to peel until they blast it all off, which should be what happens if the contractor Atlantic Industrial Coatings knows what's good for them. Which they may not, considering how it's gone so far. Also, I received another tranche of documents from Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, in response to a Right to Know request, leaving lots to update. | — | ||||||

| 3/29/26 |  Plant Based Coatings and Sustainability with guest Gary Dandreaux | Join me and Gary as we discuss plant-based coatings, including products available from Behr and Sherwin-Williams. And sustainability, as the coatings segment continues to work to reduce its carbon footprint. | — | ||||||
| 3/24/26 |  Mark, My Words! with guest Gary Dandreaux Artificial Intelligence in Paint | Join me as I discuss artificial intelligence in paint, with industry veteran Gary Dandreaux. Already making its way into the labs, field, manufacturing and distribution facilities, paint geeks with natural intelligence should keep track of the artificial ones. You can start to do that here. | — | ||||||
| 3/13/26 |  LIVE! Layoffs and Who's Hiring | There have been more than 3,000 layoffs in paint over the last year with likely more to come. I go through them and detail what I know, including what I think I know about what comes next. Which is more than you think, and less than I do! Plus, who's hiring. Because some paint companies still are. | — | ||||||
| 3/9/26 |  LIVE: THE History with Benjamin Moore recorded February 19, 2026 | A retrospective on my history with Benjamin Moore, including how I ended up working for that company's CEO, which nobody was expecting. And if you think I'm the type to hold back my criticism of Benjamin Moore because of that employment, it's only because you don't know the rest of THE story. | — | ||||||
| 3/1/26 |  LIVE: Update on Pittsburgh recorded February 12, 2026 | A source inside Pittsburgh's stores division gave me the best look behind that curtain since American Industrial Partners acquired the former architectural coatings division from PPG. I report what they shared, adding what I think it means. In case Brian Carson watches the video and wants to know what to do next. After that I hosted a no rules Q & A, which was the best of the three Q & A's I've recorded for this series. I want to know what you think? And what other topics you would join me for if I covered them live. DM, text, email, don't be shy. | — | ||||||

| 6/24/25 |  Mark, My Words and Friends! Episode 6 with Steve Rice American vs US Cities part II | In my last podcast of the summer Steve and I finish our conversation about the condition of American cities including a discussion of the book Happy City by Charles Montgomery. American cities continue to suffer from poor planning and decades of maintenance backlogs, so that most offer a degraded lifestyle by the standard of what is possible. Will we fiddle while Rome burns? | — | ||||||
| 6/16/25 |  Mark, My Words and Friends! Episode 5 with Steve Rice: US vs European Cities | Paint is not my only interest, though it's been the only topic I've podcasted about. Until now! Over the last several years due to work and good fortune I've spent time in numerous major cities around the US and world. Noticing THE disparities, it's been on my mind to share that experiences with you. If you're an American you might not want to hear it, though you need to. The problems with US cities and our failing infrastructure are more than 60-years in the making, so if you think that I've gone political you'd be wrong. Spanning federal and state administrations of both parties the United States has failed to invest in needed upkeep and improvements. And we are all responsible! | — | ||||||
| 6/9/25 |  Mark, My Words and Friends with Steve Rice episode 4 THE Surveys part 2 | Because one episode on this topic was not enough! Part two of my survey with independent paint retailers, asking all THE questions Ben Carson and Dan Calkins want to know! Next week, something completely different. | — | ||||||
