The Sterling Report

From Iran tensions to a 2,600-year-old chamber in Luxor, from supercomputers to severe storms, today’s report ends with a story about children, illness, and the power of belonging

Art Sterling follows the hidden labor behind the AI boom, a wonderfully odd furniture-building championship in London, Indonesia’s first giant panda cub, severe weather across the central U.S., Richard Glossip’s release on bond, a Florida record fish, declining school enrollment, and a powerful final story about sepsis and listening when the body whispers.

Today’s Sterling Report follows World Cup heat concerns, a rare gold discovery in Norway, a dementia-friendly zoo tour in Berlin, a Florida ocean rescue, and a heartfelt close on aging, caregiving, and the families making room.

Floodwaters rise. Oil moves in the shadows. Washington argues over what goes in your gas tank. And somewhere in America, a 911 call from twenty-two years ago comes back with a cap and gown. Today’s Sterling Report brings the day’s news with warmth, wit, and yesterday’s charm.

Today on The Sterling Report, Art Sterling follows the stories hiding just beneath the noise. Fire on the land. Secrets under the sea. A strange discovery in the stars. A mystery in a fast-food kitchen. And a graduation speech that changed the room. News with an old-school radio soul. The Sterling Report — Tuesday, May 12, 2026 Hosted by Art Sterling
